OK, before I buy the product...does it really does a good "Brazilian" job....? I am a rookie on this but I want to wax myself at home.....

Yes. It did for me. For some reason I have less ingrowns than when I go to a professional salon and the hair takes as long if not longer to grow back. I continue to go to the salon to save time because doing it on your own takes a while. But the product delivers what it promises. Of course use caution. Do a skin patch test and for the love of all good things, get yourself a bottle of blue Azulene from Sally Henson before you start in case you decided to abort this mission. Remember to cover the floor with paper bags to catch spilled wax. And good luck! :)

This was my first time waxing, so I was a rookie when I bought this product. I really wouldnt recommend it. It's really messy and hard to deal with, and I could imagine that possibly someone more skilled could use it more effectively. It didn't work well for me, and after using it twice I decided it would be a lot easier to get strips or whatever. The pain itself is hard enough to deal with as a first-timer. I wish I could recommend another product to you, but I haven't found anything that has worked well for me yet either. Hope that helps!

Yes. I use it for the entire area, and have zero hair "down there". Make sure to hold everything tight when applying and removing the wax.

It works good but it is a slow process. I hear you on wanting to wax at home and being a rookie. That's why I bought this.

I have been using this product for years. Here are a few tips. Before you start trim hair to about 1/4-1/2 inch. Heat the wax until runny but test on your forearm to make sure it won't burn. Do not allow it to cool enough to get thick. 1. Make sure the area is clean and dry. 2. Use a little oral numbing gel (teething gel for babies) several minutes before you start. 3. Apply a little baby oil to your finger tips and sensitive parts- it won't effect the wax adhesion to the hair but will keep it from sticking to your skin. 4. Work from the outside in-in small sections and back to front. Spread in a medium thin layer. Allow to harden until just pliable. Remove in 1 quick motion. 5. When done use a mild astringent cleaner (I like the cleaner you get for newly pierced ears- no sting) I follow that with a thin coat of A&D ointment. There is no after pain but the skin is a bit sensitive. Good Luck!

Well, lol, I was a rookie n let's say I'll be leaving the waxing to the professionals, lol. It literally took me 2 hours n I still didn't get every thing n also the wax was extremely thick n messy, at least for me it was. I still have 2 jars left n they won't be getting used, lol.

I wouldn't do it till I get professional advice first.I did the matrix for the first time 3 years ago and still use it twice a year. The reason I chose that is because both my friends who did the brazillian blowout was not at all happy about what it did to their hair. It didn't straighten the hair like matrix does. The best part is matrix is it works!

No, this is not that powerful. It is good for maintenance, but it will not remove wax that has been there for seven years. I would see a doctor!

I love it, my facial/wax lady recommended I get one after she used it on me & it's so easy to use with great results! There are much pricier ones out there but this is all you need it's fantastic. Hope this helps :)

I use it several minutes after waxing my bikini area. It stings briefly and I have highly sensitive skin. Within minutes the skin is calmed down and all is well. If you plan on working out after a wax I would wait, otherwise you're good to go. This stuff is a miracle in a bottle.

It would be a waste of your money to use this on the legs, it would take so much and this isn't cheap, nor is it designed for the legs, there is cirepil, that is a soft wax that is great for the legs.. I have been using this hard blue wax for 16 yrs and it's the best for Brazilian/bikini and face.. I hope this was helpfulDebi owner: of Bushwackers Waxing Studio.. Salem, Oregon

I am not Hispanic, yet I share your pain of the fro. With a little of this product you can weigh it down to give a messy quiff hairstyle. Then with a decent amount you can get a perfect slicked back look, a pompadour, or comb over side part. Definitely give it a try!

Well, it is very smoothly, I feel good after I use and I like it, because for me work perfectly the hair in my underarms, bikini line and legs is absent for a little while. I hope this answer is useful for you. Have a blessed day

No, unfortunately it does not tell you how or where to begin your waxing process, but you can watch tutorials online. If you have gotten professionally waxed and have an idea, I usually start where the lady that waxes me starts. Best of luck! But it is a very great wax to use and it does a great job of removing all the hair that you want removed.

It did not get great results but surely got additional 4-5 shaves for me. I think results would vary with individual as preference for smooth shave varies. You may buy it if your expectations are tempered.

In theory it does (i managed to take some hair off on my face), but it's hard if you don't know what you're doing. I got tired of it because I didn't have the time or skill to get some results so I threw it away. It gets all sticky and messy. Also, it didn't hurt when I used it on your face but for someone reason it hurt a bit too much when I used it on my legs.

I put the whole can in a pot and let the water boil to get the wax hot but today I threw it out because it is not easy to work with. I'll have to try something else, I only did chin and lip and it didn't really take off the hair. Maybe it will work better for you.

Always read the manufacturer's directions. This is a must for ANY product. Just make sure that the area is clean before you apply the product. I usually put it on after I waxed the hairy area and then again when I felt hairy under my chin. Also, with ingrown hairs, do not get into the habit of plucking them out with tweezers. This will cause the area to become inflamed and cause discoloration. I haven't used the product in a while because I ended up seeing a dermatologist and I didn't like the product peeling my skin. I still think its a good product, but I think it really depends on how bad your ingrown hairs are. Hope this helped! :) Always read the manufacturer's directions. This is a must for ANY product.

YESSSSS!!!!! Thats why I only used it once! I'll keep it for the trimmer aspect, but I won't used the epil part on my legs ever again. I have thick coarse hair on my legs, almost all of them came back ingrown and it took forever to get rid of those red bumps. It works well for me on the face though.

I do it BEFORE every shave. It seems to work pretty good but it is still one more step that takes about a minute and a half a day. I think it's worth the money especially if you are on a budget and need to count dollars, but I don't. The jury is still out for me.....

i have a friend that says he uses it everywhere including personal areas, but i have found a way to minorly cut myself with it (this surprised him). if you are careful you can get the job done well enough.

Yes. That is where my wife first learned about it. She had a Brazilian Blowout and the stylist that did it sold her these items. This stylist has been in the business for over 30 years and recommended it.
