Nair Salon Divine/Cire Divine is a wax for your legs and body that promises to be effective on removing even short hair.

For those that do wax, you know the difficulty that arises when your hair is too short to wax but too long to bare your legs in that sultry dress you just bought.

I typically tend to do sugaring, as I find it less painful and you can easily washes off if you misapply. This is very handy when doing the bikini area. However, I decided to give this product a try because it sounded easy to use; there was no cotton strips to clean, you just peel the wax off.

This product is scented, so they say. To me there was a light fragrance but it smelled more like wax. I followed the instructions as I was ominously warned on the box “”READ THE ENCLOSED LEAFLET CAREFULLY” prior to beginning this sadistic approach to hair removal.

Although it states that it is professionally salon tested I have difficulty believing that any salon would inflict this kind of torture on humans. I have had Brazilians done at the salon and at home and nothing could prepare me for the onslaught of pain that was to come.

Applying the wax is messy, no two ways about it. When the wax is cooled to the desired temperature it becomes very stringy and sticky like pine sap.

This product is not for the faint of heart. You have to be precise in your application which I found very difficult given the consistency of the wax and how quickly it cooled.

I strongly discourage you from using this anywhere near the bikini area. I nearly closed orifices that are needed for survival and all I was trying to do was the bikini line. I thought I was going to rip entire body parts off by removing the wax. After the screaming and fear of how to remove this solidified torture device subsided, I managed to see my way through the tears and make it to the tub in order to soften the wax so it could be removed with a minimal amount of pain.

At this point, most reasonable people would have given up on this product, not me. I decided to try it again this time attempting to wax my legs, hoping and praying the result would be different. Again it was a disappointment; it removed some hairs and left others. I did notice that it was less painful removing the wax this time around.

Being the glutton for punishment that I am, I tried it a third time on my underarms. Never have I bled from any waxing or sugaring procedure but this time I bled. I find that even though it states it’s great for sensitive skin, its not.

Overall this product looks great and sounds great but I think I’ll stick with sugaring from this point forward and use what’s left of this product to make candles.
