A gentle aromatic blend that is perfect for all skin types, leaving your skin silky smooth, hydrated, and less irritated after waxing.

GiGi Hemp Wax is the newest addition to the GiGi soft wax line. Hemp is renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties. Cannabis Sativa, a drug-free hemp derivative rich in essential fatty acids, locks in moisture. This balanced, gentle, aromatic blend is pleasing to the senses and is perfect for all skin types.

Directions:

  1. Place collar on wax warmer.
  2. Remove plastic lid from can and place can in warmer. Set warmer temperature to high for 15-25 minutes until wax has the consistency of warm honey, then set temperature to medium.
  3. Test wax temperature on inside of wrist before waxing.
  4. Cleanse area to be waxed with Pre-Hon Lotion. Pat dry with tissue.
  5. Dust on a thin layer of pre-epilation dusting powder to ensure area is dry.
  6. Holding an applicator at a 45o angle, apply a very thin coat of wax in the direction of hair growth.
  7. Place cloth epilating strip over wax and rub cloth epilating strip firmly in the direction of hair growth.
  8. Hold skin taut and put cloth epilating strip off (parallel to the skin) with one quick motion in the opposite direction of hair growth.
  9. Immediately apply firm pressure to waxed area with the cushion of your fingers or palm of hand to calm skin. Never re-apply wax to newly waxed areas.
  10. Apply Wax Off to remove any wax residue and to condition and refine pores.
  11. To maintain waxing results longer, smooth GiGi Slow Grow, a hair inhibitor, everyday after showing.

Lession learned
Reviewer: Sandee   2009-09-27

Never ever buy it. It usually takes me 15 mins to wax my arms and 30 for legs by myself...took me 4 hours total. didn't get my wax done...ended up making a mess and additional cleanup had to throw all my wax strips...things that I used...couldn't get it out of my towels... am still feeling sticky and couldn't go to a party (for which I was getting ready for the first place :() trust me...it's not worth it...I would got to and spend $200 bucks to get the wax but will never make a mistake of buying this again in my life

hemp wax
Reviewer: Mary   2009-02-02

I use this product because it is a vegan wax. While it is being heated, the aroma fills my whole house...and it smells amazing! The consistency is thin, so you have to learn how to avoid the drips. I would recommend this wax for all waxing needs except brazilian waxing. It is the only wax I use for legs/underarms. I rarely have any problems with stray hairs when I use this wax.

Hemp Wax
Reviewer: Ellen Rochefort from St.Paul, MN   2008-05-06

I've used this product before and not only does it work well but it smells sooo good. After it's been heated in my wax pot, it acts like a diffuser and makes my room smell great.

Hemp Wax does not work
Reviewer: Still Hairy in Madison from Madison, Wi   2008-01-26

Did not remove hair. I used vaseoline jelly to get the wax off my face. What a waste of money!

DOESN"T WORK!!!!!!! Terrible product
Reviewer: Kimberly from Ashland Ohio   2007-10-04

I used Hemp wax for first time and hated it. It didn't remove the hair off my daughters or my lip, or eyebrows. Left an ungodly sticky residue behind. We did have to use Goo-gone to remove it because nothing else worked and that did help. Please do not buy. Also had to do lip three times and still did not remove hair but removed skin!!!!
