Top Hair Removal

I’m looking for something to use for my armpits, since shaving seems to darken them even though I don’t do it that often. (By the way, is it true that waxing will not darken areas, while shaving will?)

So I’m looking into at-home waxing kits, and the Parissa Chamomile Body Sugar has good reviews. Have you used anything else? What should I look for in a wax, and how is it different/better/worse than body sugaring?

i used to use sugar wax but now I use creme for down there/ armit area and it is more effective, i dont know if it grips better or what lol… but what i just tried last time (on accident because i thought they were refill strips ) was the Nads 24 Hair Removal strips, they are awesome because i always put too much and make a disaster but these have the sticky stuff right on them and you can cut them to size etc.. and actually for best results i set mine on my heat register so the stuff gets a little more liquidy and sticks better. and yes shaving does make hair thicker and darker in general while waxing can reduce hair growth slightly, and will eventually cause it to be less painful to wax… but im not sure about it getting lighter from waxing

The plastic container that the wax was in melted, do to the very hot wax. And before we could stop it, it was all other the counter and the floor. We used the Wax Removal cream that came with the wax. But that didn’t get the wax that had already dried. Please help us get this stuff off. Please.

They sell stuff at sallys for the counter top and stuff get the oil kind. Also it help when the wax is hot or warm so take a blow dryer to it while using the wax remover.

this is really stupid but when i took my wax out of the microwave i spilled it all over the hardwood floor and kitchen counter. Does anyone know good ways to clean up the mess?

It ain’t gonna be easy but there are worse things.

First scrape up as much of the wax as you can while it’s in a semi-hard state. No sense burning your fingers here. Just do it carefully and use something that won’t scratch the counter or the floor. Going for volume here. An old credit card, a plastic spatula are two tools that come to mind.

Then find some absorbent rags. You can use paper towels if you don’t have any. Take the iron, heat it up and lay a piece of tin foil over the area you’re working on. The goal here is to make layers, the cloth or paper towels first, then the tin foil and iron over the foil. The foil will help hold the heat and protect the iron from getting the wax on it (no need to make something else to clean!) and the cloths or paper towels will absorb it. Keep changing the cloths or paper towels as they absorb the wax. Keep after it until it’s almost all gone.

Your last step will be a good scrub. Use a kitchen sponge with one of the scrubbers that is safe for no stick cookware. Hot water and Dawn dish detergent would be my first suggestion. You need something with grease busting abilities here. If you don’t have Dawn, you can try whatever you have and add a dose of white vinegar to the hot water. Gently scrub and keep rinsing the sponge as you pick up the film of wax. Ammonia might work (it does remove floor wax) if you have some. I’m allergic to it so I seldom have it on hand.

You may have to repeat the scrubbing process a couple times to get it all. But keep after it and you will eventually get it.
