1. Warm a double sided strip by holding between your hands and massaging for a few seconds. Slowly separate the strips, taking care that the wax contents are spread out uniformly. You now have two strips ready to use. Use one at a time.
2. Apply to the area to be waxed, smoothing down over the hair to be removed, in the direction of hair growth. Press down hard on the strip to ensure that the wax is gripping all of the hairs, especially if you are reusing the strip.
3. Immediately hold skin taut, and quickly zip strip back against the direction of hair growth. By removing the strip immediately after application, any temporary irritation or redness will be minimised. When removing the strip, make sure that you keep the strip close to the skin. Do not pull the strip off in an upward motion.
TIP: Nair Wax Strips are reusable, so repeat steps 2 and 3 over the area to be waxed, with the same strip until it stops gripping
USAGE ADVICE
Hair Removal Tips
After smoothing wax strip on skin, immediately hold skin taut and quickly zip strip backagainst the direction of hair growth. By zipping back the strip immediately after application, any temporary irritation or redness will be minimised.
When removing the strip, make sure that you keep the strip close to the skin. Do not pull the strip off in an upward motion.
If any wax is left on the skin, use the enclosed aftercare wipes. Alternatively, apply a clean sheet or cellophane or cloth to remove it or, using baby oil, gently massage until wax lifts off. Water & soap will not remove the wax.
Please read the whole leaflet before use. Follow directions carefully.
Waxing Individual Areas
Legs
Hair should be 3-5mm long. Apply the strip to the area to be waxed smoothing down firmly with a few strokes in the direction of hair growth. Immediately hold the skin taut then quickly zip strip back against the direction of the hair growth.
Bikini Line
Hair should be no longer than 5mm(1/2 cm), trim if necessary. Test small area first. Check the direction of hair growth. Bend leg outwards and smooth strip firmly onto the inside of the thigh, in an inwards direction. Holding the skin taut, grip the inside of the strip and quickly zip strip back in the opposite direction of the hair growth.
Underarms
Underarms should be completely dry and free of perspiration. If necessary, trim hair to approx. 5mm-10mm. As underarm hair tends to grow in two directions, it is necessary to wax in sections. Place one hand behind your head and proceed to wax in sections as shown in Diagrams 4 and 5.
Upper Lip
Apply separately to the right and left sides of the upper lip. Hold the skin on the top of the lip as firmly as possible. With the other hand, hold the strip by the bottom edge and quickly zip strip back, remembering to keep the strip close to the skin.
Eyebrows
Hold skin above the brow bone taut, without pressing on the eye area. Smooth a wax strip gently under the eyebrow line and quickly zip strip back from the outside inwards. Repeat process between the brows if necessary. Keep the skin taut in the centre of the forehead, quickly zip strip directly downwards from the top.
Side of Face
Press strip in direction of hair growth, usually downwards. Holding the skin below the strip taut,quickly zip strip back in the opposite direction of the hair growth.
After Use
As with any wax treatment, skin may turn slightly pink for some time after hair removal. After all hair has been removed, rinse skin with cool water and pat dry.
The face tends to be more sensitive than other parts of the body. Any slight reddening or discomfort is normal and will disappear.
If any wax is left on the skin, use the enclosed aftercare wipes. Alternatively, apply a clean sheet or cellophane or cloth to remove it or, using baby oil, gently massage until wax lifts off. Water & soap will not remove the wax.
TIP: Continued treatment with Nair Wax Strips will lead to re-growth being reduced and finer, so that eventually treatments will be required less often.
PLEASE NOTE: After treatment has been completed, your skin will be hair-free until re-growth begins again, which may not be for several weeks. If any growth occurs soon after waxing, this is simply due to hairs that were still below the skin's surface when the skin was treated.
