Tips on selecting an ideal waxing kit for all your hair removal needs

If you want that smooth skin without burning a hole in your pocket, home waxing kits can come handy. In this fast-paced life with working women juggling several responsibilities, spending time on tweezing, shaving and bleaching body hair could be the last on your to-do list. However, as you may want to keep that undesired fuzz at bay, you could try waxing at home to save time, effort and money with the most professional wax kit.

While some choose to opt for laser hair removal as a permanent solution to hair growth, waxing is a fairly less-expensive and safer method of eliminating unwanted body hair. You can choose hard wax or soft wax depending on your skin type, hair growth and the parts you wish to wax. Pick a desired waxing kit from the market and set your body hair free at home for at least 30 days for a fraction of the salon price.


Choosing the best wax for hair removal

Yes, it could appear challenging to wax yourself, but it’s not all that difficult with the professional kits and high-quality products. You could follow these steps for efficient home waxing.

  • Purchasing the appropriate kit is of utmost significance to effective results. One of the important aspects to look for is that the wax should remove all the hair from the follicle and not stick to your skin making it painful or messy.
  • A kit may not be the complete trick to a successful waxing session.
 
You can perfect the art of waxing by paying attention to these factors:

  1. Set the right temperature for the wax.
  2. Apply the wax in small strips.
  3. Let it harden a little. You could massage it from the top of the cloth if you’re using a soft wax.
  4. Pull the strip in the opposite direction of your hair growth with a swift and firm movement at once.

The first time could be a trial one and with time you are sure to get a hang of it and find it so much more convenient.

The kit essentials

Make sure to pick a kit that meets the requirement for your targeted waxing area. For instance, if you intend to wax your eyebrows, ensure that your kit offers the products for aftercare of waxing such sensitive areas. You can select a kit that has the following items for giving you perfectly shaped brows instantly. Most good hard wax kits come with the following items appropriate and handy for removing hair from face, upper and lower lips and eyebrows as well.

Check if your eyebrow waxing kit has these:
  • An easy to use applicator
  • An aftercare cream or lotion
  • Mini-tweezers to give your eyebrows a desired finishing shape
  • A brow guide for a breezy waxing session

All you have to do is warm the wax in a wax warmer/heater, apply to the desired area carefully and pull after a few seconds. Hard wax is ideal for use on face and so will not require cloth strips and would be less painful as well. You can then add the oil available in the kit to soothe the skin area and remove all traces of excess wax. This waxing method could give you a salon-pro result that lasts up to 6-8 weeks.

Out of a range of eyebrow waxing products available in the market, some are pre-waxed strips. You could also buy the ones which require some warming first. Some kits come with a choice of strips, where few are pre-waxed ones, some cold wax ones with separate strips and hard wax type that require no strips.

Things to remember before waxing eyebrows

Whatever wax you choose to use, it’s advisable to first follow the instruction manual in the kit.
  • Always apply the wax smoothly in the direction of the hair’s natural growth and remove it in the opposite direction in a quick and firm movement.
  • Stretch the skin with the spare hand to avoid any damage to your skin, especially when waxing the sensitive areas.
  • Make sure to start waxing on clean skin and remove any makeup or oil prior to starting the process.
  • Always begin with waxing from the area below the brow, applying from the centre outwards.
  • Once you’re done waxing the area above the eye, you can move to the hair above the line.
  • Exercise caution so that the wax strip does not touch the eyelid or lashes. Just in case you accidentally happen to smear wax on the eye skin or hair, slowly and cautiously remove it moving in the direction applied.
  • Any waxy residue can be removed by using the oil provided in our kit.
