is it the nair c'est divine?
I like it.
I would reccommend clean your legs first with a baby wipe, then apply a very small amount of baby powder so they are nice and dry (helps to get all the strands of hair sticking up - but don't use too much). I pretty much dust it all off.
Then warm your wax the reccommended time, stir and dip your stick and twirl. My sis is a beauty therapist, and when she was training, they told her its the correct temp when it makes a penis shape on the end of your stick when you're twirling it. This will also eliminate threads of wax going everywhere.
Then smooth on skin against the direction of the hair grown (wwork it around a bit as you go - this will get all the strands of hair), leaving a bit of a lump at the end (makes it easier to grap when you pull it off).
then pull off and it helps to press on the skin afterwards -stops it hurting.
Also, you are not supposed to have it thin like hot wax, it needs to go on a bit thicker - so its not see through i guess. If its too thin it will go brittle.
good luck, hope that helps
