What is the best cheap waxing product you can use?

Question

I use a Nair Easy-Wax product and when I wax, it takes off only the longer hairs, leaving thin golden stubble. When I wax my underarms, it only removes a few hairs! Can you please recommend some products for me? I'm 13

Answer 1

Sugaring...

One of the best things about sugaring is that the sugaring paste can be easily made at home using a few simple, natural ingredients. However, it may take some time before you become adept at preparing a mixture of the right consistency. If you wish, you can also buy the sugaring paste from any cosmetic shop.

The ingredients for the sugaring paste are:

2 cups white processed sugar

¼ of a cup of water

¼ of a cup of lemon juice

Mix these ingredients and heat them either in a microwave or on a stove. It is easier to do it in a microwave, but, you need to be careful not to let the mixture get overheated as it heats up faster in a microwave. Microwave it for 2-3 minutes until it acquires a smooth, thick, syrupy consistency.

If you are preparing the sugaring mix over a stove, place the mixture over medium heat and boil until it becomes brownish-yellow and acquires the same consistency as mentioned above. The sugaring paste should neither be too thin nor too thick.

Then, just leave the mixture to cool for a few minutes and, lo and behold, the sugaring paste is ready! When you want to use it, warm it up just a bit to make it easier to apply.

It is better to store the sugaring paste in a re-heatable jar for easier use again. But, don’t prepare too much of the paste as it gets thicker with time, so it may not work as well if it has been kept for too long.

The Sugaring Procedure

You will need a few fine cotton or paper strips that can be made at home and are also easily available at any cosmetic shop; a spatula, dull knife or tongue depressor-kind of thing, to apply the paste.

•First, apply some talcum powder over your clean and dry skin. This makes the procedure easier.

•Test the temperature of the sugaring mix by applying a little over the back of your hand. It should be just warm enough to spread easily and thinly, but not burn your skin.

•The spatula is used to apply the sugaring paste thinly over the hairy area in the direction of hair growth.

•Now, place the strip over it and press it nicely and firmly 3-4 times. Pull the strip quickly against the direction of hair growth and the hair will come out with it.

After Sugaring

You get a soft, smooth, hairless skin as a reward for the small effort you put in. You may get some redness and bumps on your skin after sugaring, especially if the hair removed was thick and long. But, it usually resolves in a few hours, so, it is nothing to worry about. You can minimise the redness by applying some ice or cold compresses to the skin for 10-15 minutes

EDIT: I have an epilator... can't be bothered with it and although it's good for the legs, not very good for elsewhere, whereas you can use sugaring on the face, underarms, bikini area, legs, anywhere, really, plus, you can use things you've already got lying around, so it's basically free. Epilators are quite painful, too, it's like a million tweezers, after a while, your leg goes numb, but then you start on the other... And the vibration hurts my hand... plus it's quite loud...

Answer 2

epilators are much better but they are quite expensive. you should just go to a salon and get it done professionally - it isn't that expensive. If you want a wax that you can use at home , veet is good. Hope I helped :)
