THE PRODUCT

Veet EasyGrip Ready-To-Use Cold Wax Strips

STEPS

1. Make sure your underarms are clean, dry and free of any deodorant, creams and oils. For best results, apply some talcum powder before waxing to ensure they’re completely dry.

2. Rub the double wax strip between your hands to make it easy to separate. Then, carefully pull the strips apart using the rounded, Easy Grip tab.

3. Put your hand behind your head to expose your underarm. Then smooth one strip onto your skin, making sure the Easy Grip tab points in the same direction as your hair growth.

4. Rub the strip several times in the same direction as your hair growth to make sure the wax adheres properly.

5. Grasp the Easy Grip tab and pull the strip backwards in the opposite direction of your hair growth.

Quick tip: fold the strip over if you find it easier to work with smaller amounts of wax. You can re-use each strip until it loses its stickiness.

6. Continue waxing in consistent sections so you don’t miss any hairs and then repeat the process on the opposite underarm.

7. Once you’ve finished waxing, clean away any wax left on your skin with a Perfect Finish wipe.

Ouch! Some areas I’m happy to wax, but under arms hurts too much. I just shave.

I feel like this will hurt too much, although I have lots of friends who wax their underarms.

i need to use this method

The best way to have amazing smooth underarms is to laser it all away! But if you are going to wax it then make sure you are using the correct products and not something dodgy from a random store make sure you're buying the quality products like veet from priceline or the chemists.

Also make sure you don't exfoliate after you wax because your skin is sensetive

I shave twice a week and don't get too much hair so it so quick and easy

Great instructions, have tried it before yet I still have hairs left over. Easier to shave this area.

I just shave it every third or fourth day, so waxing would last longer

I always cringe when I have to wax

I got mine lasered so need to wax

Its so important to get tab and pull the strip backwards in the opposite direction of your hair growth as this achieves best results!.

Great tutorial! I've tried to wax my underarms multiple times but have failed...will have to try the different direction trick!

Waxing underarms looks fairly easy. I generally use an epilator its great for hair removal.

It looks so easy in this video, but I know it's not. I use my epilator to remove my underarm hair, and because I've been doing that for so long, it's not painful, doesn't take long and there's no stickiness from the wax.

Ouch, no thanks.

Pink_Sugar 11 Nov 2015 10:29 PM

I leave my waxing to the professionals.

preciousia 6 May 2016 8:34 PM

i think so too!

Chicklet 14 Sep 2015 10:07 PM

Waxing just scares me. Even though it looks easy I get scared about pulling the strip. I'll stick to shaving.

Sally377 20 Jun 2015 9:46 PM

This actually looks so easy, i will have to try this myself :)

ren812 6 Mar 2015 2:44 AM

It looks painful

Elsje 22 Feb 2015 11:41 PM

I want to start waxing

MelissaFay89 20 Feb 2015 7:53 AM

Ouch no thanks :(

Tee631 10 Feb 2015 7:39 AM

this sounds scary

jenknees 10 Feb 2015 7:39 AM

I've done underarm waxing like twice and it was painful but did the job. However, on my recent try it left my underarms itching like hell and i've been put off ever since!!

Trixter 10 Feb 2015 7:29 AM

I use my epilator. I'm not sure how to hold the skin taut enough to wax...
