I'm new to this app so I don't have pics up yet but I just have to share my new obsession...hard wax! I'm currently in school for aesthetics and was introduced to hair removal with hard wax. It's amazing! You don't need strips and the wax sticks to the hair and NOT the skin. There's less irritation and it's less painful! What kind of hair removal products do you love??

Andrea were can I purchase the hard wax? I've heard of it before but not sure were to get it from. I've tried the Veet wax strips for my underarms but they made them bleed.

I use Berins Blue Hard Wax. You can order it online www.the-wax-shop.com. Just Google it. I know Gigi makes a hard Wax you can get at a beauty supply store but I haven't worked with that brand. I've never been into waxing because of the pain factor but now I'm all about it!! Let me know how it works out!

How exactly does it work? I just bought the starter kit from Gigi brand but the melted wax w the strips, I didn't get the hard was bc I have never used it before...?

You apply it similar to cream wax. You have to press it in good in the direction the hair is growing. It's applied in a thick layer and you just let it set for a few seconds. It begins to harden as it cools. Pull it in the opposite direction of hair growth and that's it. You don't have to use a strip to remove it.

Oh wow, thank you.
This may be a silly question too but do you rip it fast like strips? Or just take off? (Feel like slow would be painful)

Fast! And like cream wax, make sure the skin is taut. The other thing I love about it is if you miss a hair you can just repeat the process. I actually put some on a part of my skin that had no hair to test the theory that it doesn't stick to skin and pulling it off was easier than a bandaid. You tube has videos from a tutorial called the ball of wax that shows you how to use it on every body part. It's normally used for sensitive parts like face, underarms and bikini but I might even try it on my legs...just be prepared to use a lot of product because you do have to apply a thick layer.

Be careful with hard wax, once when you applied on it, can not remove. soft wax can use oil to remove.
