This is the only brand since 2007 that has worked for me. Veet wax strips don't pull the hair out and heating up wax burns my legs. Since I've been waxing for years with this product, my hair re-growth time is getting to about three months! Almost to four months from years of waxing.
Anyway, there are tricks to get the best results: 1) make sure the hand you are using to pull the skin back is holding down very tight because the force of the other ripping the strip off can in fact make it tricky to get all the hair. So practice makes perfect. Always keep trying till you get the best result for you. You never get it on the first try anyway.
2) Take some tylenol/advil 30 minutes before waxing if you don't like pain. It's been proven through research and studies that this helps alleviate pain, especially when waxing sensitive places on the body.
3) Always make sure your legs are cleaned/washed down before waxing. The wax doesn't hold well against skin that has oil and dirt.
4) If you miss a few hair: just use some tweezers to pluck out the rest. I do it and then everything is a okay.
5) Don't shave near the waxed spot for 24 hours. Even if it looks safe, you won't know till after you shave to see if ou get irritation or not. So don't jinx it by shaving too soon after waxing.
6) Make sure the hair isn't too short or too long. If it's over an inch, it's time to wax, but if it's two inches long, it's TOO long to wax. If it's under 1/4 of an inch, it's too short. Not sure if you are the recommended lengt? Ask a friend. family member, or research online to find out more information on proper length of hair that can be waxed. I've personally waxed it once when it was too short and nothing came off on the strip. I've also waxed it too long and it got really patchy looking. So make sure you keep track of how long your hair is.
Also it's very possible to have an allergic reaction to ingredients in wax, so if you've never waxed before, test on your upper thigh FIRST! A place that most people won't see. Wait 24-48hrs after that and see if you get red bumps, stringing, and what may look like acne but is really ingrown hair due to the follicle breaking off inside the pour of the removed hair (also oil got inside with oxygen creating a pimple like effect).
And remember, every instruction booklet of the products has a $1 off coupon for Sally Hanson wax strips! M favorite part of buying the product. Also to get the better deal, try your Walmart because it's the only place that constantly stocks and carries the strips.

This product worked great on my bikini line and on my knees. It did not, however, work on the fine hair on my thighs or toes.

Ahhh! Where do I start? Well this thing sucks. Bad. I decided to use it on my face, legs, and arms. I let the hair grow out, which is thick on some areas and fine on others. I let it grow out for about 1-2 weeks. I tried it on my face and it did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I followed all the directions and exfoliated my face. I put it on in the direction of the hair growth and pulled it the opposite direction. I also made sure I warmed it between my hands before hand. Well, only two hairs came out. I tried re-applying once more and nothing. So I tried a different spot on my face, same results. I put the oil on, which did nothing because I woke up with a rash on my face the next day. I tried my arms 3 days later and not one hair came out. Its ridiculous. I got the same results on my legs. This product is an absolute rip off. It doesn't get sticky enough and it doesn't get any hair out. And it irritates your skin on top of that, whether its from re-applying and re-applying or from the actual waxing ingredient I don't know. All I know is that this product doesn't work and neither does that "soothing oil". Maybe I got a faulty product? I don't know. But this is the 2nd time I tried this particular brand, apparently it got good reviews. Not making the same mistake, you get what you pay for I guess. BTW, the picture advertised is different than the one on the actual box that you get. Just an FYI.
Honest reviews on Sally Hansen Wax Strip Kit Leg/Body/Bikni
This is one of the worst products I have ever purchased.The box is misleadingit suggests you can actually wax your legs with this product and then includes only six 'larger' strips. The box advertises 30, 15 double-sided. Fine, but perhaps somewhere it ought to be mentioned that the majority of those are double-counted by counting both of the skinny strips that are together on one sheet? And, even when warned properly in between my hands, they did not separate well, and worst of all, left lots of residue on my legs and nearly all of the hair. Horrible Horrible product. I have used many over the counter waxing kits and never before have I experienced a product grossly misrepresented and completely inadequate.

I must say that I'm not too hapy with this product. The results are not what the product explains the outcome should be. When I first bought this, I was hoping that it would'nt be so bad, becuase it had the Sally Hensen logo on it. Anyway, when I tried it out, I was surprised that it got most of the hair off, but I still had to pluck a few strays. On the box, it says that it lasts for 8 weeks after you've waxed an area. This is a lie, because after I waxed, it grew back a few days later just like regular shaving would have done. Another thing, the box also states that the hair will grow back thinner, which is also misleading. I waxed my underarms, and the wax strips got some extra hair around the area, and after a few days, it grew back darker. I am not quite impressed with this product, and I would recommend you try purchasing TRIA, a laser-type hair remover. You can find more information about this product at triabeauty.com.
