How long does hair have to be to wax? ?

Question

I want to wax my legs before I go on holiday, I have nair ready to use wax strips (yes I know salon wax is much better but this is all i have at the moment), but I'm not sure the hair on my legs is long enough it's only about 1-2mm. Will it still be effective?

Also, should I exfoliate before waxing?

Answer 1

whenever u can c it! wax ittt

Answer 2

hair should be min, of 3mm long

Answer 3

Hair should be 1/4 to 1/2 inch in length, otherwise it won't stick to the wax and won't come off... believe me i've tried!

And what I usually do is take a shower and wash before waxing. I exfoliate with a neutrogena scrub.

Answer 4
