So off the bat, I I wouldn't recommend this for a first-time brazillian or the first after a long break from waxing. I don't wax the area in question during winter, but with spring on its way, I thought I'd give it a go. I trimmed the area before hand but I could still only manage a small patch before giving up and going into the salon for a fix up. That being said, 2 weeks later, I gave it another go with the small amount of regrowth I had and it did a great job, even cleaner than the salon with no hair left behind at all.
I also recommend this wax for underarm waxing. On one side I tried it in three patches and it worked well, but on the other side I just did the whole underarm in one fell swoop and it too everything! This product will definitely be saving me a lot of money
As I am more partial to the "bald eagle" style, I can't vouch for whether or not the stickers work, but I might give them a try next time
The first time I used this product I thought I was going to die. After all the squealing, deep exhales and the sweatiness that only comes from true pain I shocked myself and kept using it.... So much so that 4 years later I still am. Don't get me wrong there are quite a few tricks that are only mastered with practice but I've found it has been worth it. The product does need to be reheated a couple of times during the process but it makes a huge difference to make sure you have the right consistency.
The templates are a bit of a fail, they don't stick firm, or to be fair are they in shapes most people are likely to use. The love heart seems extra unachievable haha
For the girls who are shy/on a budget I would recommend this product as long as you are willing to persevere.
Tips: Sooooo many! - Get extra popsicle sticks, the big ones are really good.
- Finding the perfect thickness is key! Getting a 2mm ish coating will save you from having it dry too quick and needing to pick off crunchy wax, as well as a too thick layer that stays gooey and messy.
- An old towel on the floor goes a long way to stop stray bits of wax from sticking any place you don't want it.
- if you have trouble 'getting an edge' to pull, you can flick an edge upwards with a clean popsicle stick, the wax does not stick to it while it does come away from your skin enough to get a good grip.
