Rambling Review

All I can say is that unfortunately, this did not hit the mark for me. I have tried other Nair products, one being their Candy Apple Sugar Wax I reviewed through ChickAdvisor as well. I guess I can start this review by saying that I am no expert at hair removal, but I have definitely been around the block and tried many methods (shaving, cold wax, warm wax, etc).

When opening the package, the first thing I noticed was that the wax did not have a top! We were told by ChickAdvisor the reason for this was because Nair is looking to eliminate waste. Good on them for sure, the only concerns I have would be to ensure that the product can’t be tampered with in anyway. A good seal on the box would probably do the job.

The kit comes with a wooden stick, 3 post waxing wipes, the wax, and an instruction booklet. I was very pleasantly surprised that the instruction booklet had a lot of details. It gave lots of tips, tricks, recommendations. It seems a bit overwhelming, but trust me, the more the merrier when it comes to this stuff!

What I also noticed when opening the box was a lack of fabric cloths used to remove the wax! I was quite happy with this, as it removes one more unwanted step of washing the clothes for the next time. This wax is to be applied directly to the skin and then can be removed after it dries for a bit.

I started to notice issues with this product when I began to heat it up. I followed the heating instructions to a T, but after the first heating round, the wax was very very solid still.

I continued to follow the instructions to get a “creamy honey” consistency, but it unfortunately never came. The instructions list that after the first heating round, heat in 10 second increments until desired. I had to do 6 10 second increments (a full extra minute), until I was able to get a some-what workable consistency. The instructions listed that if bubbles appeared at the top, the wax was heated for too long. I do not think I would have been able to get a workable consistency any other way though.

After stirring the wax, I still noticed that the consistency was an issue. It was no where near smooth, but I thought I should just dive right in and try it out. The wax was a bit of a struggle to get a thin layer on the skin. Since the wax came out so thick, the wooden stick did little to help spread it out. After applying and removing the wax in a fast motion, I noticed no hair was removed. After a couple of times, I noticed that actually if I peeled the wax back very slowly, it did remove the hair. This was not the most pleasant of experiences though. What I can equate it to is peeling off a nose pore strip.

I also noticed it was pretty messy. The wax did not come out of the jar on the stick cleanly, but left very long strands which were hard to contain. I can say that once the wax was left to dry, it was very easy to remove from fingers and counter tops.

It’s sad that this product didn’t work out for me. I’ve tried and loved many Nair wax products, but this one did not work out as expected. I wasn’t able to see any noticeable results. One thing I can say is that the smell was quite pleasant. It’s probably one of the nicest smells from a wax product I’ve experienced.

I hope this review was helpful! From looking at the other ChickAdvisor reviews here, it seems that my experience was an anomaly as many people seem to have had good experiences.

I just want to iterate again that I can only speak on my experience! 😀

Thanks very much for reading, I hope you have a wonderful day!
