Nair No-Strip Wax Kit
This was something I really wanted to try... I'd heard it worked well, and considering the way my legs have been looking lately I figured anything was worth a shot.
The stuff itself was an interesting situation. It's a little pot of hard wax in a little pot. There is a HUGE sheet of instructions that comes with it warning you not to overheat the stuff and blah blah blah. I followed the instructions perfectly down to the only heating the stuff up for 10 seconds after the initial 2 minutes to achieve the proper consistency.
I went to my room, telling my roomies that if they heard screaming not to be worried. I stirred the goo, which smelled great and looks kinda like yellow plastic and prepared myself to smear it on my leg.
I smeared it on, waited for it to cool and rolled up the bottom like it told me. I pulled it back, anticipating pain, but it just broke off like taffy. Rolled it up again, went to pull, it broke off. Argh!
When i actually was able to pull it back, hardly any hair came with it. This was not what i was expecting at all. I've used other waxing kits and never had so much difficulty.
I tried different parts of my legs from the spots around my ankles to the back of my thighs. But no difference, the hair just doesn't pull off.
I don't know what is supposed to be so great about this stuff. I'll maybe give it another go sometime, but right now I"m just disappointed that I spent $15 on something that gave me nothing but sticky clumps on my fingers of some substance similar to plastic. Hmmm.

There is a similar product here that is sold in drugstores. I'm pretty sure it's called Precision Wax or something to that effect, and it's a weird one-off brand, but it employs the same no-strip principle and it works great. The only thing is you have to play with it a bit and make sure the hair to be waxed is a specific length and that the wax is applied in a specific thickness. Once you figure it out though, it works beautifully.
