Veet wax does not remove hair the first time — how should it be used correctly?

Xolvie Resolution Specialist September 02, 1:11 pm

If Veet wax does not remove hair on the first try, it is often due to improper application technique or choosing the wrong product.

✅ For better results:

Warm the wax strips between your palms for at least 20 seconds until they become soft.

Apply the strip in the direction of hair growth, pressing it down firmly.

Remove it quickly against the direction of hair growth while keeping the skin taut.

Do not pull upward! The quick motion should be parallel to the skin.

You can reuse the same strip, but no more than 2–3 times.

Hair should be 2 to 5 mm long — hair that is too short won’t be removed, and hair that is too long may break.

If the results are still poor despite following all the instructions, the product may be of low quality or unsuitable for your hair type.

🩹 Spent time and patience but ended up as if you hadn’t done any depilation at all?
