Best Hair Removal Waxing Kits – Keep it Simple

In the continuing search for the most convenient, least messy means to get rid of unwanted body hair, a hair removal waxing kit reins as one of the best at home methods once you get the hang of waxing. Don’t judge the process on your first try or two – there is a definite knack to home waxing – but it’s easy to learn and soon you’ll be waxing like a pro. The results last a lot longer than shaving and, once you have a routine down, you’ll have it done in minutes, able to enjoy up to 6 weeks of smooth, maintenance free skin.

Though you can buy waxing products individually, the kits seem to be the best value, and for a few reasons. They contain everything you should need to complete the whole process including the extras you might not think to pick up if you just buy the wax. Exfoliating creams and pre-waxing preparations are recommended as they can make the whole process go a lot easier. Most kits also include some sort of finishing cream or cooling gel for afterward, to soothe skin and get it feeling silky smooth.

The biggest convenience and reason to buy a whole hair removal waxing kit is the warmer though, which can greatly improve your waxing experience. Sure, we can all warm the wax in our microwaves but that leaves us a few precious seconds in which to apply it before it begins to thicken up and has to be heated again. Not just that, but it’s easier to burn yourself when relying on the microwave to heat wax because it tends to heat unevenly. Kits that include warmers do away with that whole problem by allowing you to heat the wax to the perfect temperature and keep it warmed until you’re finished. No reheating, no burning, no repeated trips to the microwave. As much as it might seem like getting a kit with a warmer is an unnecessary expense, the warmers really do play a big part in keeping the job cleaner and easier. Wax, cloth strips and applicators can be bought in refill packs to replenish the kit as needed. In the end, the kits do pay for themselves in how easy they make the process.

For those who like the cold wax strips better than the hot wax, there are wax strip kits available as well. They normally include a supply of wax strips and finishing oils, and sometimes an exfoliator. Also, most brands offer a wax warmer that can be purchased separately, but there is usually a savings by getting the warmer in a kit.
GiGi – Overall, the GiGi professional waxing products seem to consistently have the best ratings on many different consumer sites, and for the majority of their products as well. The GiGi Professional Brazilian Waxing Kit comes with a personal sized warmer, 14 oz of wax, a supply of applicators, starter sizes of pre-waxing exfoliator, post-waxing cooling gel and even an instructional DVD to show you how to do it all. All products in the kit can be bought individually to refill. Also available, the GiGi Facial Hair Removal Honee Wax Kit contains a small warmer and the above-mentioned products, with a different wax for the finer hair and the more delicate areas. GiGi kits do not include cloth strips, as it is peel-away wax.

Satin Smooth – The Satin Smooth lineup comes in a close second against the GiGi kits, with their Waxing Starter Kit and Professional Single Warmer Kit, both found to be favorites. The starter kit includes a can-style warmer and honey wax while the professional kit includes a professional model pot warmer and deluxe cream wax.
Both kits include a supply of applicators and cloth strips and starter sizes of their pre-depilatory cleanser and post-depilatory calming oil, cooling gel and hydrating lotion. The professional hair removal waxing kit also includes protective collars for the warmer and an instructional DVD for easy learning. Satin Smooth also makes a Double Warmer Kit that holds two cans of wax, the standard wax and their honey wax for facial hair, and twice as many applicators and cloth strips.

Clean and Easy – The Clean & Easy Pot Wax Mini Kit is a newer kit that includes a warmer, and has an entire line of products behind it. Clean and Easy also makes roll-on hot wax kits as well. The Easy Pot kit comes with a can-style warmer, a pot of wax, a supply of applicators and cloth strips, and wax can collars. No pre or post-waxing products are included. Their roll-on version that includes a reheatable wax cartridge and a roll-on head is questionable though; reviews claim it uses poor-quality wax, that the heater takes a long time to heat and then does not keep the wax liquid for long enough. The jury is still out on the Easy Pot Mini Kit, but it seems to be the same as any of the other pot kits.

Of the kits that do not include a warmer and must be heated in the microwave, the following score highly: Moom Organic Hair Remover Kit, Nair Microwave Wax Hair Removal Kit, GiGi Brazilian Hard Wax Microwave Kit, Shobha Sugaring Microwave Wax Kit, Parissa Studio Warm Wax Kit all rate high; Clean and Easy Original Microwave Hair Remover Kit and Surgi-Care Microwave Brazilian Wax Kit rate as average; Sally Hansen Microwave Wax Hair Remover kits on the whole rate low, with complaints about the mess and the quality of the wax.

Just like any other hair removal product, results will vary by person, but it seems the GiGi is once again the winner, and perhaps the one to try first. The kits with warmers can be more expensive, but as previously mentioned, that purchase pays for itself quickly in the long run, making them the best value in a hair removal waxing kit.
