![]() ![]() Not exactly the hardest thing to remove.) My success with the strips led me to try using them…ahem…in a coarser, more sensitive area. (I should interject here that I am not a particularly hairy person - my brows are thin, and except for a smattering of stray dark-blonde hairs that need cleaned up, I’m mostly waxing very fine and very light-blonde hairs. I used the Parissa kits you can buy at Whole Foods and I really liked them for my eyebrows - they’re quick and easy and relatively mess-free. This happened to two barely-used jars of the stuff (I thought it was a fluke the first time), and that was the end of Nad’s for me. And the sugary paste does not remove a damn thing. I don’t know whether it was exposure to air from opening and closing the jar, the temperature I was storing it at or what, but all those natural ingredients like molasses and honey did exactly what happens to molasses and honey - the consistency changed from a smooth, ridiculously sticky wax-like substance to a chunky, sugary paste. Nad’s actually can work pretty well, but I found that the product breaks down very easily and loses effectiveness after a few uses. Which I believe is named after the owner’s daughter Nadine, but…wouldn’t that make it pronounced Nade’s? Why do they say Nad’s? Didn’t anyone ever say something to them about that? Focus groups? FRIENDS? These questions drove me bonkers every time I used it, swear to God. The pre-waxed strips, the cloth strips - even the Nad’s.

Are there pros/cons for pre-waxed strips, or is melted wax & cloth strips more effective? And what is UP with this Nads stuff (WHO names their product Nads anyway? I mean really, the silly 13-year-old in me gets a good giggle every time I see that!) I’m also figuring this is something that I’ll likely not be able to do by myself, which is fine, because I have a husband who would be more than willing to help if I promise that he will enjoy the results when we’re done, ifyouknowwhatImean.Īny tips, or advice, or product trials would be appreciated! I’ve never waxed anything but my eyebrows, so I really have no idea what type of wax one might use, or if there are any secret tips for making it as painless as possible. The kit I got IS marketed as a “sensitive areas” or whatever, but I have to rewax my eyebrows a couple times to get everything, and I really don’t want to be having to do that in my really sensitive areas, once is enough, TYVM. While I do like the little kit I got for my eyebrows, I’m not really sure the wax is strong enough for coarser or more stubborn hair. ![]() But now I’ve got the hang of it, and was wondering if you’ve ever DIY waxed… other … places. The first time was a little… hairy (puns are fun!). Thanks to the economy and the fact we had to replace our entire AC unit last summer, I’ve been forced to give up my bi-weekly eyebrow waxing, so I learned to do it myself at home with a Sally Hansen wax kit. do it again!
