10 Thoughts Everyone Has During Their First At-Home Wax
So, you’ve got your neuBuff kit, your mirror is in place, and your confidence is high. You're ready to wax at home like a boss… until the inner thoughts start rolling in.
If you're new to at-home waxing, here are 10 things you'll definitely think along the way
1. “This can’t be that hard… right?”
The instructions seem easy enough. You've watched one YouTube video. You got this. (Right?).
2. “Wait… how hot is too hot?”
You stir the wax like you're baking, but it’s not cake — it’s molten hair remover. A cautious wrist test becomes your best friend. Always check the temperature of the wax first on your inner wrist to ensure it isn't too hot. Wax should be a thick honey consistency.
3. “Am I applying this the right way?”
The guide says apply against the direction of hair growth and then smooth back down to create a "lip" for easy removal, but you suddenly forget what direction that is.
4. “Okay. Breathe. I can totally pull this off.”
You’ve smoothed the wax, made a pull tab, and now… you just stare at it. Psyching yourself up like you’re in an action movie.
5. “I can’t do it. I actually can’t do it.”
The wax has cooled. Your courage? On pause. This seemed easier 10 minutes ago.
6. “Okay… on 3. 1… 2… 2 and a half…”
Classic hesitation. Why is 3 so scary?
7. “RIP me.”
PULL! Instant regret… and then, sudden pride. Look at that clean patch. Magic.
8. “That wasn’t even that bad.”
Adrenaline’s up. Confidence returns. You’re ready for round two. Maybe.
9. “Should I do the other side now or… never?”
You deserve a break (and a snack), but you know you’ll finish it. Eventually.
10. “I am so proud of me right now.”
You did it. You waxed at home and survived. Your skin is smooth, and your confidence? Through the roof.
