Nair Wax Strips

When it comes to this kind of strips , the market is flooded with multiple brands.In all shapes & sizes and with varying prices.I recently bought a pack of the ones from Nair and after using them a few times i have come to the conclusion that using these pre made wax strips is sort of hit and miss .

The box comes with 20 strips.Two strips are sticking together which have to be peeled apart in order to use them.These are not the most affordable product when it comes to waxing as even the ones from local brands will cost you over 300 rupees.The box says "body wax " strips but they can be used on face (for upper lips) .As for the use , the rate of success mainly depends upon how comfortable you are with the waxing process. If you have done it before , you will like the ease with which these wax strips can be used.Also unlike using hot wax these do hurt when you peel them off the skin so first time user beware.

Pro's:

• No mess.
• Easily available.
• 20 strips may seem like not so much but each strip can be used multiple times and they are long enough to cover a lot of area.
• Better results if compared with cream products.
• No need to go to a salon.
• No skin discoloration (unless you have hurt yourself)

Con's:

• Cost a lot more than average cold wax.
• Not very easy to use for a first time user.
• A definite learning curve involved.
• No pain ,no gain ;-)

Tips & tricks:

• One strip can be used multiple times.
• Less painful if some powdered is applied before using the strip.(that will limit the use to only once because the powder will coat the sticky surface.)
• Residual wax can be removed off the skin by wiping with a cotton dipped in olive oil.

Till next time........
