I purchased Extra Strength All-Over Body Wax Kit from Sally Hansen. It says to make sure that the hair that you are waxing is at least 1/4" long, but no longer than 1/2".
I did my lower legs, and here are the steps:
1. Divide lower leg into 2 segments (Knee then knee to ankle).
2. Heat the wax accordingly...wax must be spread thinly. I heated the whole jar for 1 minute. I had to reheat it for about 20 seconds a couple times during this process. Be sure not to burn yourself!
3. Apply the wax with the popsicle sticks in the direction of hair growth. Do not wax more that a 2 inch square area at a time
4. Apply strip in the direction of hair growth. Stroke strip 2-3 times. Pull very quickly in the opposite direction
5. Use hot water and the finishing oil to get remaining wax off of your skin.
My Review:
Good:
1. MONEY: I saved LOTS of money. With this product (found at Ulta/WalMart/etc) at about $10, and a full leg wax is about $70 plus tip, this is a great save.
2. PAIN: It didn't really hurt me at all.
Bad:
1. WAX STRIPS: I quickly realized that there were not enough strips. I was only really able to do one leg, and then I was out of clean strips. So, I recommend purchasing extra strips. With one lower leg done, I still had about half of the wax left though.
2. MESS: This got a little messy, so make sure you do this in your bathroom or something. I did not really expect any wax kit to not be messy though :)
