Nair Hair Remover Facial Wax Strips with Chamomile Review

I picked these up as I thought I would try waxing my eyebrows instead of constantly plucking. I purchased the mini ones which are a great size, but now I wonder if they are meant for eyebrows lol.

I cut it a bit to shape under my eyebrow warmed them up between my hands. Placed where I wanted to wax and ripped off......and nothing. They didn't seem to rip out any hairs at all. I don't know if it is because I am really bad at it or they are just not good.

I have tried using multiple times with no luck so I think they are not suited for eyebrows, well not mine anyway. They might be better for other facial hair perhaps.

So this product is super easy to use. The little wax strip fits perfectly above the lip. But I do find that it doesn't always remove all the hair which is a little frustrating. A little bit of a hit and miss but for the price etc they are handy to have. The after care wipes included are nice and smell pleasant and definitely take down the redness.

I have pale yellowy olive skin, and dark brown hair. I have enough hair on my upper lip that it bothers me, so I have been waxing it off for years and have tried lots of different kinds of wax strips. I’ve never bothered to get it done by a beautician as I find it’s so easy and cheap to do in the privacy of your own home. I tend to wax every couple of months, with tweezing in between to maintain. I find that even blonde upper lip hair becomes super noticeable in the sun, so I much prefer to wax rather than bleach.

Before use, I always warm the strips up really well. I use body heat or warm the strips up in my hands. This makes the product much softer and ensures that the wax is evenly distributed on both sides of the strip. I rip the strip back in the opposite direction of the hair growth and use baby oil to remove any wax residue. I then wash my face with a gentle cleanser. My skin is red immediately after use, and occasionally will develop some irritation a day after use, usually in the same spot – right at the end of the wax strip.

These strips are pretty standard, though they do contain camomile. I'm not sure this is a great advantage though and doubt it makes the waxing any less harsh on your skin. I suspect it is only present in trace amounts for marketing purposes. They also take longer than 'seconds' to heat up. I find they perform better when properly warm. That said, they do the job and I will be buying them again.

I have a european background and hair removal on the upper lip is a must! i have to do it on a regular basis to keep it smooth (maybe around every 3 to 4 weeks which isn't too bad) and these are so easy and helpful! The strip is the perfect size to fit on the upper lip and and one strip can wax the whole upper lip, as when pulled apart it makes two, with 20 in a pack it last up to 20 uses, which is a long time if you are only needing to wax every month or so! Love them so much and will definitely be repurchasing when i run out, which will not be for a long time!

So, the product definitely works, but I can tell you those beauticians make it look EASY :) I will definitely be sticking with depilatory for my upper lip (ouch) and plucking for my eyebrows... when the left one grows back :)
