1-2-3 hair free! (With help of tweezer and razor after!)
This kit comes with two sizes of pre-made wax strips that need to be warmed between hands first, and then separated so that the double-sided strips become two individual strips. Lastly, each strip is used in the desired area. Generally, I used the larger strips on the bigger areas such as my legs and the smaller strips on my arms and armpit area. For me, the results on my armpits were terrible, an...read mored since the hair on my arm does not really bother me at all, I’ve never tried it on my arms before. The results are meant to last up to 8 weeks, but it does not last that long. The reason is due to the fact that it removes most of the hair from my lower legs but almost always leaves a few stray hair remaining. After using the post-treatment soothing azulene that is included, it removes traces of excess wax but at the same time it makes the skin too oily to allow the remaining hair to be tweezed. It's also recommended that the hair can't be shaved afterwards. In addition, hair needs to be one-fourth inch or twenty-one days of growth for maximum effectiveness, as well as the fact that skin must be dry and free of oil and water. It's really hard to get optimal hairless results with waxing and the wait time in between each session is really long. I think these wax strips are great for the wintertime when stray hair don't really matter. Over the long run, thinner and less hair is noticeable. However, short-term results are not the most optimal. The instructions are helpful but it takes a while to get the hang out it and first time waxing can get quite painful. Be sure to exfoliate the skin before waxing and even more importantly after so that ingrown hair does not become a problem.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

Wish it was better....
I bought this because I wanted to try bikini wax for the first time without the messy application. I love how this did that BUT didn't remove all the unwanted hair. It removed some of them but I would have loved for the wax to be stronger. If Sally Hansen can improve the formula on this, this would be a stellar product.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Strips aren't strong enough
I have average to thin hair on my legs and bikini. Even for me, the wax on these strips was simply not strong enough to remove the hair. They only pick up about 25-30% of the hair and then going over the area again becomes difficult. I found it was best to cut the strips in half or thirds and do small areas at a time. This was much more successful, but then took forever!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
