2 questions for cosmeticians about hair styling products: wax/mud and root body spray?

Is there any difference between hair styling wax and hair molding mud for building body, definition %26amp; hold? If so, what is it? Is one not as effective as the other or are they for 2 different purposes? Also before my stylist blow dries my hair, she spritzes the roots with some sort of root spay that is supposed to add body. I was going to purchase some but someone told me that using plain old hair spray on damp hair has the same effect, is this true? Thanks if you can help.2 questions for cosmeticians about hair styling products: wax/mud and root body spray?
I AM not a beautician, but i do have tons of hair product. root lifter is the stuff she prays on your roots, and this will make your hair have more body. VO5 is really good, but the best is big sexy hair, also one of the best things to use on your hair is redkin rough paste, it comes in like a toothpaste pump, it's kind of thick, but it works great on short hair, it gives you the messy look. I put it on in the early morning, and at the end of the day , it still looks good. they are for two different purposes, the wax and molding, molding holds, and wax looks messy

  • How common is it to get a woman customer who has hair that needs to be waxed on their back and chest?

    I am talking to people who actually wax for a living. My neice has PCOS and she is terrified of going to our local day spa to get a total body wax because she is afraid the staff will think she's gross and make fun of here. Is this a common thing for the waxers? Thanks.How common is it to get a woman customer who has hair that needs to be waxed on their back and chest?
    i don't know, but they're waxers, so i'm sure they have seen hair anywhere and everywhere! hahaha.





    besides, if they're professional and mature, they have no business making fun of her.





    tell her not to worry and go! :)

    I have a date tomorrow please helpHow can you remove the little hairs on your tummy? waxing seems to leave it spikey..shaving doesn't work?
    Since we as humans have hair on all over our bodies with the exception of our palms and soles of our feet, I don't believe he will be shocked.


    If he finds that these hairs negate all of your positive qualities and therefore cannot date you again, I say good riddance!How can you remove the little hairs on your tummy? waxing seems to leave it spikey..shaving doesn't work?
    The most effective way is electrolysis. Until that is possible, Hair removal cream is quite good.
    get the sally johnson or whatever her name is hair bleaching cream..it works wondersss
    why do you need it ? r u gonna have sex tomorrow ?

    Does shaving or using creams make the hair grow thicker and coarser then waxing each time?

    never use creams or razors, waxing is waaay better, though it might hurt. apparantly the hair doesn't grow thicker, but every women will tell you different. from experience, i think shaving makes hair darker, thicker and coarser whilst waxing doesn't. personally i would advise that you wax rather than shave. try it for your self and see.Does shaving or using creams make the hair grow thicker and coarser then waxing each time?
    i think it doesntDoes shaving or using creams make the hair grow thicker and coarser then waxing each time?
    You must choose what's best for you... don't try anything if you don't know what will be the effect... you must be contented of what you have and what you are.. choose that suits you..
    Yes - Never shave. If u dont want to wax try imac!
    Waxing is better, but it hurts a lot too (depending on the area). Shaving is ok, be sure to hydrate after shaving. The only ';bad'; thing is that the hair might grow back into the skin and then it looks as though they were thicker...
    yes its true
    Waxing is better because it weakens the hair follicles if you do it formany years. But shaving WONT make hair grow thicker (urban myth)
    ya its true dont shave

    i ll tell u about this
    I don`t think, that the hair gets thicker by using a shaver, it just looks like its thicker.

    If you wax your hair could you describe the level of pain when doing it. So you apply the wax,let it soak?

    through, then you abruptly tear it off, but do you fear this tearing off stage of waxing? I think the anticipation of the forthcoming pain is horrible?If you wax your hair could you describe the level of pain when doing it. So you apply the wax,let it soak?
    Ok..i was freaking out when my mom did it to me..but honestly it doesnt hurt that much..it may be red,but put some lotion on after it.or get it done at a salon.If you wax your hair could you describe the level of pain when doing it. So you apply the wax,let it soak?

    Pain is different for every person as we all have different threshholds. And different parts of the body are more sensitive than others.





    For me, the pain is very temporary. They put the wax on, put a cloth strip over it and tear it off. Still, it beats having to shave every other day!
    Level of pain.


    lower legs: bearable, upper legs: little ouch but with the satisfaction of having smooth legs, underarms: hurts the first few times, bikini: agony.


    I had a friend have her bikini waxed once, and she said the attendant goofed and put hot wax on the inside of her vaginal lips, then ripped it off. She was still walking spraddle legged two days later.


    But really, the bad part of waxing is the ingrown hairs. The pain can be satisfying if you're in a bad mood, and hating your leg hair. Think of it as a battle.


    Then start saving for laser.
    where are you going to wax. I waxed the top of my head so I wouldn't need to shave. the pain was ok until I started tearing out the hair by my ears. that stuff hurts. that and reapplying to get the stragglers hurts bad as well.
    ah, datz nothing...u hardly feel a thing wen all ur hair is stripped off ur body!!! i wud say dn worry about it, it only takes a sec to remove the hair, so dznt hurt much
    i dunno
    i have no idea, i have never waxed or pucked any thing, however i have friends who do it all the time and they always come out really red and their skin looks irritated.
    you must be crazy or you are sadistic.
    depends on where you want to wax but yes it does hurt but not that bad
    The pain Level depends on the person and where you are waxing the hair from. If you are waxing on your leg, the pain will not be a bad as if you were getting your bikini line waxed.
    I waxed my bikini line the first time anticipating pain, but I've never quite felt anything like it before. It was like being punched in the gut and having my pubic area set on fire all at once. I had to sit down and wait for the nausea to pass. The hell with waxing, I want major painkillers before I do that again. My sis says it gets easier. I say she's NUTS. I'll shave. I'll trim. I'll wax when I've forgotten the pain of the last time. 10 years ago?? And yes, the anticipation of the pain is horrible, but for me, the pain is way worse and only keeps getting more so as the routine continues. Noneforme!
    Level of pain would be...take your lip and pull it all the way up across your head. Don't let it sit on your skin, spread it, put down musslin strip then remove, not too fast %26amp; small spots at a time or u could pull off skin too.
    on a scale of 1-10, id give it 35.iv seen it happen he was screaming bloody murdur. it was awful, i dont recommend it but hey its ur head. :^)
    You're fear is totally irational.. waxing isn't that painfull, it really isn't. It'll be fine, try and relax.
    it's not that bad....the first time is bad. but after that it's not too bad...you'll get used to it...the 'tearing off' part is the 'worst' but you'll get used to it.
    It all depends on the area you are going to wax.
    Just did my under arms... it was SCARY!! But i anticipated MORE pain.Just make sure you keep the skin tug and pull real fast 1 sec that's it.
    I did it one time. I was planning to wax my legs I put some on waited then ripped it off. I didn't anticipate pain cause my cousin did it all the time like it won't nothing but after I ripped mine off I didn't do any more I actually walked around with like a bald spot on my leg. It was real smooth though and it lasted for a while I just didn't think it was worth the pain. I am not that hairy anyway!
    Sure, it dosen't exactly feel good, but it dosen't hurt that much. What area are you trying to wax? I've never waxed my bikini, so I can't say if that area hurts, but I do wax my eyebrows %26amp; I'd say that although it is painful, the pain is very tolerable %26amp; worth it.
    depends upon the area of hair you are waxing
    im a beauty thearpist but b4 i tried them home waxing kits and they hurt so bad bcos the wax isnt heated properly underarm isnt as sore as leg wen i was trainin my entire class preferred underarm to leg waxin!!! its like getting a plaster pulled off if its done quickly and professionally it doesnt hurt but if done slow its very sore skin shud also be held firm den u dont really feel it
    it's not as bad as you initially think and it does hurt less with regular waxing. the level of pain depends on the area being waxed.
    Well, it depends on your pain tolerance and the location of the waxing. I think it is only really painful the first couple of times and that is because you aren't sure what to expect. Just go in expecting the absolute worst and it won't be so bad. It's a tolerable pain and so very worth it for the end result of smooth, hairless whatever body part you are waxing. BEAUTY IS PAIN, my friend.
    depends on what part of you, you are waxing. if eyebrows, then just a little for like 5 seconds. for like legs and stuff, i don't know how much it hurts
    better to go to a professional.


    if u don't, try this...


    follow directions in product, because their are lots of diff. kinds out there. if you buy one u heat, make sure not to get too hot.


    when applying, apply in direction that the hair grows, and pull strip off in opposite direction. do not let it ';soak'; in, and u can apply pressure to area after hair removal...this helps the pain ease faster!





    the pain is not as bad as twee-zing to me, and new growth is not as course. also, don't have to wax as often as when u tweez either. the level of pain can depend on what area u wax.
    Waxing when done properly smarts for a bit. A topical numbing cream will take the edge off. The benefits far outweigh the pain though.

    What kind of wax do u use to wax ur pubic hair?

    is it the normal one we use for our limbs. can one do it herself.What kind of wax do u use to wax ur pubic hair?
    Better shave it or use a Hair Remover there. Waxing can hurt you a lot.What kind of wax do u use to wax ur pubic hair?
    yup you can use the same wax, but be carefull, it will hurt more on that part of your body than on your legs. Depending on how flexible you are you may want to have it done professionally, but you can do it yourself if you feel comfortable.
    are you crazy?! It hurts to wax my eyebrows, i can't i just tweeze and that's bad enough just shave it off sure you may have to do it more often but there's no need to do that to yourself unless you're a miscast.
    you can't wax on that part
    I think it's all the same, but I wouldn't suggest it! Ouch! I shave, it works good for me :)
    You better shave it.
    go to Beauty Parlour
    i use razor
    dont...shave
    same wax that u use on other places
    Wax will hurt u alot..... better if u shave... thts the best.... no wax.....

    I'm SCARED about waxing my lip hair help (veet wax strips)?

    im 15 and i have a very noticable mustache. i've read that waxing is the best solution because it grows back slower and lighter. and after waxing over time i damages the roots which prevents the hair from growing back. but i also heard that it hurts like hell, i don't want to get it done proffesinally i want to buy these veet cold wax strips. i dont think there the best brand but there the only brand sold in my country, so can someone tell me how to use them....please...??I'm SCARED about waxing my lip hair help (veet wax strips)?
    when you wax--------


    when you apply the strip, make sure to really rub the strip with your finger and get it warm *body heat helps the wax melt better*


    hold the skin taut before you rip, stretch your skin so that it is tight


    rip the wax strips off in the opposite direction of the way the hair is growing


    and after ripping each strip, hold the strip onto the skin where you just waxed and apply pressure for a few seconds *helps relieve sting*


    its really not that bad, my eyes dont even well up anymore when im getting my lip waxed because im so used to it :)I'm SCARED about waxing my lip hair help (veet wax strips)?
    they are awesome


    i use them, i have VERY sensitive skin and they are ideal


    i have to cut each on in half to use as they are quite long





    i suggest you do the same


    take the paper off, and apply the sticky side to one half of your top lip


    smooth onto your skin and then take one corner(away from your nose at the edge of your lip)


    hold the skin taught with your other hand, and peel in one swift movement towards your nose





    your skin will feel a little numb and tingle for a moment or 2


    do NOT put on any lotion etc, unless aloe vera gel as your pores are wide open at this point


    your face may be red for a day or 2, so do it when you hva no where to go, until you see if it does go red
    I have the same issue! And I have sensitive skin. I finally found the best solution. These pads called smooth away work great. Smooth away comes in a package with different sized pads to use on different parts of your body. It works great for my mustache and there is no pain involved!! I only need to use it about once every few weeks.


    I have used veet before and it makes me break out.


    Hope this helps, good luck!

    Just put it and release it. Before that, put some cream so that the pain would lessen. Don't over do it so that it won't irritate. Relax and don't think about the pain. Pains are normal, they will just vanish afterwards.
    maybe you might want to try threading, or tweezing instead.


    and veet sucks, ive tried it before and it doesnt work at all.
    Just wax, that mustache doesn't sound too pretty...
    If you read the backs of the box it should suggest how to use the wax strips effectively. I use Veet wax strips on my legs and if we are talking about the same ones they come in rather large strips, i would suggest you cut them before using (so they are smaller and easier to use). The ones i have say to rub the outsides of the strips, this heats up the wax and makes it easier to pull them apart, apply the strip and pull in the oppsite direction to hair growth, i.e. toward the root of the hair.


    I would say that getting it proffessionally done is definately more effective and less painful as you don't need to pull the strip yourself, also beuticians are trained and have experience. Although waxing is effective, you should look into laser hair removal, it is ALOT more effective and lasts for a long time, it also prevents the re growth of hair and hair grows back much finer, appointments only need to be made every few months and although it is costly, it would actually end up being cheaper than reguarly buying wax strips.
