When waxing, pull the strip in the opposite direction of hair growth. So if you are waxing your legs, pull the strip upwards. Make sure to do this very quickly, otherwise it won't be effective. Waxing your underarms can be more tricky since the hair grows in different directions. You'll have to pull off the strip both ways, usually it takes a couple of strips. If you get tired of using waxing strips, try using a microwave wax- Sally Hansen is good, or get one from the beauty supply. You can always get a professional wax- salons usually have that service.
**By the way, I didn't realize that you might be referring to Nair cream hair remover (Nair also has waxing strips).. anyway, if you are, wait a few more minutes next time, and then test a small patch. But do NOT exceed 10 minutes- your skin can get irritated. Also, make sure that when you apply it, your hair is covered completely. [ ciao77's advice column | Ask ciao77 A Question ]
