I'm new to waxing so how long does hair have to be to use this?

Well about half inch, but I should warn you that this I'd very messy and sticks to your skin a lot, hard to clean up. Or it could be that I'm not using it correctly. But gigi is an awesome brand so I would give their other wax a try. I hope this helps you.

The hair should be fairly grown out, but not too long. If the hair is too long it can be very painful when waxing. However, the hair must not be too short either because it can cause extreme irritation.

You don't want it too short or it won't grab. It should be about 1/4" long. If it's your very first time and the hair is long, you may want to trim it with scissors first.

You want it cool but not too hard. So, not long. Press down on the wax before you pull to insure hairs are firmly embedded. Do small patches. You don't want to go over the same area repeatedly but you can overlap.

I'm sorry. I'm not able to answer your question. I bought this as a Christmas gift and the individual hasn't been able to use it yet because his vehicle was recently painted due to an accident. It was recommended that he not use a wax for 6-8 weeks.

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.

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.

I've had mine for three years with no problems. I've never waxed it. Don't believe it is required for this model

I move it in all directions ...it glides easily. Use some baby powder & a hair dryer first...you want the area very dry. I use it every week and the whole process takes maybe 2 minutes, if that. Be sure hair is already trimmed to within 1/4 inch or so. This brings it down to abt 1/8 inch. You will be very clean, not bald.

At least 2. It will also depend on how much wax build up there is. The more build up, the more you may have to use to remove it.

You can wax your legs between applications but waxed hair will grow much slower so you need to wait a long time between applications.

Nearly 45 minutes for wax to melt completely. Always have this on a safe, sturdy, place when it is active so no one is hurt by hot wax should machine get tipped over. Some like to leave it on for convenience's sake but that is not wise, again because of safety issues. Despite the long wait time, this is an excellent machine. Your hand fits into it fine and it helps restore some mobility finger with less pain.

It's about 3 inches. Not ideal for hair longer than an inch past shoulder length or thick hair.

It really depends on how often you wax and what you use the wax for. If you use it for facial waxes, this can last you a long time. I got one in April, and after looking at my old orders on my account, the previous time I had purchased one was in September 2013. So it lasts you a long time! I do facial waxes and underarm waxes. Like I said, it depends on how much you use.

First the instruction on charging. Then shave the area to be lasered. Shaving can be done a few days before. Do not plunck, wax or Nair for three to six weeks prior to using the laser. You need to only shave for three to six weeks.

If it is your first time waxing, I recommend you have it done professionally. If you don't know how to pull the wax correctly or if you don't know how hot you should have it, it can be a very uncomfortable experience. I have waxed for a long time and so I am adventurous in trying different products but my first time, my sister who knew how to use hot wax was there to help guide me and then I had it done professionally for a while before I ventured to do it on my own. But I love waxing - and I don't do anything else anymore...hope you find this useful.

Im not sure what the official directions are but I stop using mine 3 to 4 days before waxing or tanning. I stop using any kind of chemical product for at least 5 days prior to a peel but I have fair skin that gets irritated easily. I have been able to use the perfect image low level peel without any problems after only halting the cleanser for 3 days.

You must spread it VERY thinly or else it will just get stuck on your skin and hurt badly when the strip is removed. It really has a narrow range for the optimal temperature. It should be JUST cool enough that it doesn't burn your skin and doesn't run off the stick when dipped in, but as hot as possible to allow for the thinnest coat. I've found this is THE best wax for fine and thick hairs.

My instructions said to heat the wax for 15 to 20 minutes but it took a lot longer, more than 30 minutes. Just keep checking back until it's all melted but not too hot.
