Stubborn hair removal can be a costly and time consuming process to deal with. Shaving daily, or even every couple of days, can add up to a lot of time in your week. Costly trips to the aesthetician for hair removal involve travel time and time for the procedure. If you’re budget savvy and the hair has to go, consider purchasing an at home wax warmer and some hard wax beads. You want to lose your hair, not time and money.
Hard wax beads are small pieces of hard wax that are easy to measure and store. They are a convenience item because you can use just the amount you need instead of heating an entire prefilled container. They are good for small projects like waxing your eyebrows as well as larger areas like legs. Hard wax is great because it doesn’t require cloth strips to remove. Instead, you apply the wax and then peel it right off along with the hair.

How To Prepare Your Workspace
You’re ready to go so make sure your workspace is too. Prep your workspace with a drop cloth in case of drips and spills. If you are using an electric warmer be sure you are not near water as it is electric. Have all of your gloves, applicator sticks, wax refills and anything else you may need conveniently within reach. This will help to contain any mess when it comes time to clean up. Attempting to scrape cooled hard wax beads off of counters and floors can be a nightmare on all its own.
Read The Instructions
You should thoroughly read the instructions before beginning to wax. Most hard wax beads will heat the same, but occasionally they vary slightly in recommended quantity of wax, or the specific heating guidelines. Become familiar with your wax beads before you begin. Waxing improperly can lead to major discomfort and skin irritation, or even burns. As simple as it looks you still need to follow directions.
Properly Heat The Beads
Begin by opening up your hard wax beads and pouring the appropriate amount into a warmer made for wax beads. You can buy a basic kit including: a wax warmer, a tin to place inside the unit, hard wax beads, and a few applicator sticks at least. If you already have the warmer, just buy the refill beads. There should also be information pertaining to allergies and safety advice.
Get Smooth Skin At Home
Now that you are familiar with the product, get ready to wax. Turn on some music you enjoy for a spa-like experience and take your time. With patience, and the right tools you will have silky smooth skin with a professional look and feel. Look for hard wax beads online or in a beauty supply store near you. There are many different brands, some with essential oils or fragrances that may appeal to you. You’ll be saving time and money when you switch to using hard wax beads at home.
