Best home waxing product?

I need to start waxing legs at home as cannot afford the salon prices. I can't shave as I am prone to ingrowing hairs and abcesses.
Can anyone recommend the easiest home diy waxing products? Thanks

imho, find a cheaper, mobile beautician who willcome round and do it.
The strips in those things are wrong shape and too small. I end up using 2 packs just to do half a leg and even then it leaves hairs behind.

Alternatively look out for an IPL deal on groupon or similar?

IMO the pink strips from Nair are the best. The others aren't sticky enough! Confused

I have wasted so much money on wax that is not great, but recently invested in a gigi wax heater...

advantage is that you can leave it on throughout the waxing, so no multiple tips to the microwave or kettle

Also, as it is a hot wax, you can put however much you want on so no wastage

good results too!

Saves a lot of hassle
