Product Information

Remove Hair with Nair™ Wax Strips Nair™ provides four convenient, easy-to-use options for removing hair with wax strips.*.

Hard wax strips are generally more expensive than soft wax strips due to higher quality ingredients and a more labor-intensive manufacturing process. Before every use, TEST YOUR SKIN REACTION by applying and removing the product to a small part of the area you wish to treat, following the directions for use. If after 24 HOURS there is no adverse reaction, continue to use. Tweezing: This time-old method is the easiest and most accessible way to remove small hair around your brows and chin by removing stray hairs by the root. Above all, our Beauty Lab pros say it's important to wipe tweezer tips before and after every use with rubbing alcohol and a cotton pad, not soap and water. Storing it in a protective pouch helps keep the facial tool in tip-top shape. Some waxing products use hot wax, but pre-made waxing strips are most often cold. However, most suggest warming the strips up in your hands for around 20 seconds before application to increase grip and effectiveness. Always read the instructions carefully before trying any new wax strips, even if you consider yourself a seasoned pro.

You may experience redness, itching, and bumps after a waxing session. These side effects tend to calm down within a few hours or a couple of days, and some folks are more sensitive than others. Work in parallel. Pull the wax off in a motion that is parallel to your skin's surface, rather than up and away which is perpendicular to the skin. If your technician isn’t as experienced, or if you wax at home, there’s a chance you might end up with some burning. This happens if you accidentally wax off the top layer of your skin. However, more serious side effects like bleeding, burns, and infections can happen. A little bit of bleeding is common for first-timers and isn’t usually something to worry about. Just keep the area clean to prevent infection. If you have not waxed before we recommend starting by removing hair from the legs. Only when you have experience then progress to the sensitive areas of underarm and bikini line.Try to avoid or minimize caffeine and alcohol intake on the day of your appointment. Both are diuretics and can cause your pores to tighten, making waxing more painful. If any stray hairs are left behind, they might clean it up with tweezers. However, because this is a more sensitive area of the body, they’ll likely ask you before doing this.

Make sure to skip deodorant that day to avoid clogging your pores, and feel free to take an over-the-counter pain reliever 30 minutes before your appointment. During the appointment Consider the ouch factor if you’re thinking about waxing your underarms. Waxing is by no means pain-free, and some people are more tolerant than others of this kind of discomfort. Eyebrows are detailed work and there may be a few hairs left behind after waxing. Simply tweeze the stragglers away. Avoid sun exposure and any potentially irritating activity — i.e., soaking in a bath or strenuous exercise — for 24 hours after an appointment. Trim your hair a bit if necessary. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends a hair length of ¼ inch to ¾ inch for waxing.You’ll need to rub the strips for at least 30 seconds before application to warm up the wax sufficiently for maximum grip and best results. They’re suitable for all skin types and promise hair-free results for up to four weeks. Some waxing kits, like Athena Club On The Spot Wax Strip Kit for Face, come with products that can be applied to the skin after you’re done to soothe redness or irritation. However, there are other steps that you can take if your kits don’t have a dedicated calming wipe or serum. Desmarais recommends avoiding washing the area with soap and water to remove any wax that gets left behind because scrubbing or touching the area can “cause irritation.” Also, she notes that any redness that pops up after you finish is “absolutely normal and may last for a few hours.”
