the way this wax works is, 1. it is in a metal tin, so if you dont have a warmer you can use the eye of the stove to heat, 2. it will need to be runny but not running off your stick(small popscicle), you can test with the back off your hand, 3. apply to area kinda thick, and leave like a lil tail at the end 4.dry, it wont take long and it can still be warm, grab the tail of the wax and pull against the hair growth. 5. wa la thats all there is to it, not hard very easy once you get the wax temp correct.
