Hair removal, in any form, isn’t the most pleasant experience. Whether you choose to epilate, laser, shave or use hair removal cream, each method has its pros and certainly its cons. So with all these choices, why opt for waxing?

From longer-lasting results to high-precision removal – and no risk of nicking your knees – many people swear by the stuff, using it monthly, every six weeks or longer if you’re lucky.

Even so, for anyone new to waxing, it can seem like quite a daunting task, especially when doing it at home. So, we’re here to help show you there’s nothing to fear when doing it safely, effectively and with the right products.

Wax strips, wax pens, melting wax pearls and even sugar paste are all among the most popular options. But depending on your confidence level, hair type or desired result, it’s important to know the difference between them.

So, keep reading below for helpful hints and tips on how to get started, the best products to use and how to minimise any risks. And remember, when it comes to body hair, whether you choose to remove it or not, the choice truly is one of personal preference.
