How to Wax your Underarms at Home?
Carefully read instructions and contraindications before waxing STEP 1 - MEASURE
Refer to our fabulous Beads Measuring Chart. Easy to follow, simply use the large and small cups to measure the amount of wax beads you will need.
For the underarms, pour 1 large and 1 small cup-full of Happy Waxing Beads into your empty pink tin.
Place the tin into the heater. Never pour the wax directly into the wax warmer, always use your pink tin.
STEP 2 - HEAT
HEAT
Plug in your Happy Waxing heater, place the lid on and flip on the switch. The wax will take approximately 20-30 minutes to melt.

STIR THE WAX
To ensure even heat and achieve a creamy texture, occasionally stir the wax with a wooden spatula. You may notice the heaters red light will turn on and off. This is normal and is maintaining the temperature of the heater.
The heater will only be warm to the touch-but the tin itself can become hot.

HEAT TEST
Before waxing, apply a small amount of wax to your inner wrist using the spatula.
If the wax is too warm, switch off the heater and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Then turn the heater back on and re-test for comfort.

DIP THE SPATULA
Dip the spatula into the wax, wipe the underside of the spatula against the inner edge of the tin to remove excess wax. Roll and turn the spatula a few times to disconnect the wax and to prevent dripping.

UPPER PART
Raise your arm above your head, bend your arm, and rest your hand on the back of your neck. In the direction of the hair growth, apply a small amount of Happy Waxing wax in a smooth, continuous motion, working from the middle of the underarm to the top of the underarm. The application should be thin, leaving a thicker edge which makes the wax easier to lift when removing. Roll and turn the spatula to disconnect the wax to avoid strings.

NO STRIPS NEEDED!
Allow the wax to harden for a few seconds. Touch the wax to make sure it is dry and ready for removal.
Hold your skin taut with one hand which will make the removal much more comfortable. With the other hand, lift the edge of the wax, staying parallel to the skin remove in a quick swift movement in the opposite direction of the hair growth.

Should wax drip on your heater, the Happy Waxing Nourishing Oil can be used to wipe it clean. Be sure to wipe down the heater as the oil can make it slippery!
