So- I use wax strips that I got on Amazon. They’re GleeBee strips and they warm with body temp- so I just squeeze them and then wax my face and they work really well for me, a woman.
My boyfriend decided he wanted me to try them on him because he hates shaving- so I tried the strips on him.
I tried them on him as usual- but they came away with only a few of his hairs. I plucked what was left behind and it was REALLY thick and REALLY long under the skin.
They worked on his brow area but not on his chin/lip area. He specifically wants a non-shaving solution to his beard area and his upper lip.
Any idea why my wax strips didn’t work on his face- and any recommendations on what wax would work? I’m guessing I need something more heavy duty.
Yeah generally a man’s facial hair will be more coarse than a women’s. You could try a sugar or honey wax or a wax that you melt yourself and use strips with. Pre-made strips will not be strong enough for that kind of hair.
If he wants a more permanent solution he could go for laser hair removal (it’s on the pricey side but lasts technically forever and you can usually find Groupon deals)
Those strips aren’t designed for very thick hair like men’s beard hair. They just aren’t going to work. A hard wax might.
