Broken a mug?
This product is right up your alley!
Self waxing kits typically cost around £8.99-£15, in Tesco, superdrug boots etc. For something that you can often abandon halfway through due to- tiredness, boredom, pain and a just sod it! mindset, I'm not washing a tenner down the drain. So i went off to my spiritual home of the Afro hair shops of South London ( never leave me) for the always significantly cheaper alternative. ( Seriously a giant bottle of nair is like £1.49. I'm not buying it for six quid from tesco! Allow it)
Anyway i didn't find the brands i have used in the past and instead found Dimples Hot Wax mug. For £3.49. ( online its between £3-5) I have self waxed before and if you haven't try starting off with the self wax strips. This post is for experienced waxers! The reason i was going DIY is because of the horrible ingrown hairs i got on my last "professional" waxing session and the astronomical costs in the UK, plus the inept and offensive waxers i seem to find and i was going it alone. Plus maybe you just don't want a stranger touching you or looking at your bits( if your doing it in intimate areas).
I wanted to use a hot wax based product without strips because i read that this is best for those with curly hair and helps to reduce the chances of ingrown hairs.
Anyway the novel thing about this is it comes in a mug that you sit directly on your cooker. I prefer this to the microwave method and you must stay and watch the wax. The instruction manual is thorough and you MUST adhere to it. Waxing can be dangerous but if you follow the manufacturers instructions and use your brain, apart from pain you shouldn't have any problems.
I was happy with my results and followed up with an anti ingrown hair solution- Skintight. I will continue to use this and i'm going to try their sugaring version next.
