dont_know_what_2_say Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I know this might sound like a dumb question but ... I recently bought a new wax treatment kit, since i had been using wax strips, i dont know if once the wax is melted, you cant use it again? for example.. waht if i wanted to use it just for a small area, so i dont think i woudl use all of it, but a small quantitity, could I, after it is melted, let the part that i didnt use, cool down and save it for another time? or is it a one time use?

I'm under the impression that if it is wax, as opposed to a sugar treatment, that you can reuse the wax that has already been heating up. The aesthetics industry has been under fire recently for reusing wax with the claim that various diseases can be carried from one client to another since the wax is not warmed up enough to kill microorganisms. But I think if you're using it only on yourself, you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moink75 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 is this hot wax you are talking about? I had hot wax that was in a heatable container. I used what was needed and then stored the unused portion for another time. Word of advice, make sure the wax is not too hot when applying.

Dako Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I always start with the hood, and after the rest of the car's done I go back over the hood again. Engine heat plays havoc with the wax coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarnelianButterfly Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 It can be remelted, but if it has hair in it you run the risk of creating a nice little breeding ground for bacteria. Granted heat kills lots of stuff, but it's not worth the expense of infecting yourself for saving on wax. I've used the sugar stuff in the past and found it much more user friendly. It cleans up so much easier and I had less problems with my skin reacting to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_know_what_2_say Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 this is what I bought.. link removed and yeah It made sense that i could just save it and use it for another time.. since its not like im an expert at waxing and im still getting used to the pain.. I was thinking of doing one leg one day then the other u know, not the whole thing at a time, because that would be just too much for me to handle this would be the third time i wax, and first time with melted-hot-wax, so i didn't want to push it. but yeah, thanks for your replies ohh somethign else, have u tried using this for the bikini area.. buti mean like a full blown brazilian wax type of thing?

CarnelianButterfly Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I've used Brazilian wax and hated it. The residue was a pain to get off and I felt it was more mess than the sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moink75 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 there are cremes you can use. THere are also ointments you can use to prevent ingrown hair if you shave as well. Lots to choose from, but you need to find what you like. By the way, my sister went to wax both legs and she made me leave the room so I would not hear her scream. Thanks for the laugh. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I dunno... I think if you aren't quite sure how to use the wax, you shouldn't be putting it on your genital area. Well, that's just my opinion. I prefer to leave such matters to the professionals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_know_what_2_say Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 yeah i was just thinking about it.. and its true, it would be a VERY sensitive area and if i do it wrong then.. yeah no, ill just stick witht he shaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 no, I don't think shaving is good either. It gets too itchy when the hairs are growing in, and scratching your groin in public isn't attractive. Going to a salon and having them wax you is the safest and easiest way to go.

renaissancewoman101 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 What is the difference between Brazilian waxing and regular waxing? Sometimes when I go to a spa, I see a listing for Brazilian wax under their choices for waxing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenfox Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 yes if its wax and you havent spread it (still in the can but melted) its fine to let it harden and reuse it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenan Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I'm a spa girl, too. IMO it's worth every penny. All home waxing experience have been disasters, excepting those involving Turtle Wax and my VW. RenWoman, my understanding is that there are basically three categories of bikini waxes: The 'regular' is just a narrowing of the hair in front; an 'extended' is a more severe narrowing...from a medium-sized strip down to a thin 'landing strip'. It can also include a clean-up of the hair underneath and behind. A Brazillian is often thought to be an 'everything off' waxing, but is really more about getting ALL of the hair underneath and behind. A little strip or a triangle can still be left in front. The Brazillain is good if you wear thongs to the beach (too brave for me, lol), but some people just like them because they feel cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_know_what_2_say Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 I did shave once and it didnt itch when the hairs grew back.. i know that happens to some people but for some miracle it didnt happen to me.. but yeah.. ive been thinking about getting a brazilian wax, i just have to save up some money tho, cuz im running short on cash how much is it anyways?

annie24 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Depends on the quality of salon you go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
