Re: Wax
pcg,
For the wax strips, buy a yard of plain white cotton cloth and make strips out of it. It works just fine. I tried to reuse the strips, like Ira mentioned, but i was majorly grossed out. The plain cloth is just as good and inexpensive. As for your second questions, the ladies at a salon once told me that the hair should be at least 1/4th of an inch to wax effectively.
Re: Wax
i dont like waxing myself...i get it done professionally...ive also got laser hair removal done in certain areas so i dont have much to maintain now.
Re: Wax
ladies ladies... ever heard of laser hair removal?
Re: Wax
Ever hear of money?
Laser hair removal is expensive.
Oh by the way, when this wax stuff gets on your fingers - how the hell do you take it off??? I made mistake of picking the wax off the strips, and my fingers got it all, and then I picked up some toilet paper to remove it, and the paper got stuck to my fingers, and oh it was such a mess!
Even strong shampoo didn't get rid of that garbage. I was near ready to cry.
Re: Wax
Very informative thread! This should be a sticky. :D
I thought I'd ask, what areas is this stuff good for and what areas should be avoided?
My sister was telling me how this stuff shouldn't be used for the face, because some females who use it for the face that she has come across grow weird hair. Is this true?
Re: Wax
I’ve just bought sally hansen’s sugar wax hair remover kit for body, legs, arms and bikini… im gonna try it tomm nite.. 
Re: Wax
Just wash it off. Why on earth did you put anything else on the wax? Wherever it drops on you, wet the area and wipe it off. It comes off easily with water.
Re: Wax
im no economist but.. from what i hear the laser treatment costs roughly 2 grand which you can divide over 5 visits. it will probably breakeven with waxing costs in 10 yrs.. and save u all these torturous hastles.
Re: Wax
Long story, Mehnaz.
Lollypop man - I bought a wax kit that cost 8 bucks. I waxed my whole body and I think that thing can last me for numerous further waxings. I'm estimating a full year. Plus, I'm not even married right now. So I don't have any reason to keep waxing every month.
You do the math.
