- What are the basic things I need to pay attention to?
- No sunbathing / sunbed for at least 8 hours before and after depilation.
- Do not apply cream or oil to the skin prior to hair removal.
- First ensure the areas intended for hair removal are well powdered and erect the hairs.
- Always pull off the strips of material flat against the direction of hair growth.
- Cool sensitive areas of the body with iced water immediately after hair removal.
- Disinfection of the depilated areas is best carried out with your own saliva.
- Apply Aloe Vera Gel to the skin after depilation to cool, care for and soothe it.
- From the next day onwards, rigorously massage the depilated areas of the body using the wet Luffa sponge (ideally during a shower).
- Is HALAWA only intended for women?
HALAWA is suitable for both men and women. Its use by men is gaining in importance. Furthermore, sportsmen and women are increasingly recognizing the advantage of competing after hair removal. HALAWA is ideally suited to couples who wish to remove the hair from each other.
- How long can HALAWA be stored for?
HALAWA's shelf life is at least 12 months. Please close the jar immediately after use. Ensure that water, dirt and humidity are prevented from getting into the jar. This is because HALAWA dissolves in water.
- How many applications can be made using one jar of HALAWA?
HALAWA is very economical. You only require 30 grams for a full body hair removal. If you are only depilating your legs, then approx. 10 - 15 grams are sufficient. A 300 gram jar is sufficient for 8 to 10 full body applications or approx. 20 leg applications.
- How much does a Halawa application cost?
Given the above-mentioned numbers and if, for example, you are only removing the hair from your legs, you will invest approx. 1 Euro per application in the hairless beauty of your legs.
- When does HALAWA have the right consistency for depilation?
You can use HALAWA immediately at a room temperature of 20ºC. If the paste is too warm or too liquid, then briefly put it in the refrigerator. If it is too hard, briefly heat it in a water bath. The ideal storage temperature is 16 - 18°C.
- When should HALAWA not be used?
Do not apply HALAWA to varicose veins, acne, wounds, warts, moles, sunburn, inflamed skin or after exfoliation.
And please do not sunbathe for at least 8 hours before or after using HALAWA - either outside or in a Solarium.
You should generally forgo the use of HALAWA in cases of sensitivity.
- Application of powder, cream or oil prior to hair removal?
The skin must be dry and free of grease prior to depilation. Please ensure the areas intended for hair removal are well powdered and erect the hairs against the direction of growth.
Never apply cream or oil prior to hair removal.
- If there are problems during depilation?
During hair removal, HALAWA may get softer due to your body temperature, the ambient temperature and the folding and kneading.
If HALAWA feels creamy or the paste no longer bonds to the hair, then please briefly put the strip of material with the paste spread on it in the refrigerator or on to a cooling element.
- What do I do if my hair is not growing in one direction, but forms whorls?
If the hair is growing in different directions, then please depilate in several steps, always against the direction of the growth of hair.
- Hair removal in cases of psoriasis?
Use the Luffa sponge prior to hair removal if you suffer from psoriasis. Carefully massage the area for depilation with the dry Luffa to remove the scales. You can then remove the hair using HALAWA.
- Is hair removal with Halawa painful?
All customers who had previously removed hair through epilation or with wax were pleasantly surprised when using HALAWA. A slight twitch was all they perceived.
- Is hair removal with Halawa long-lasting?
Hair removal with HALAWA can become long-lasting if the procedure is followed correctly and used regularly.
The question of how many applications are required before the hair stops growing depends on a number of factors. As there are different types of hair, it is possible that one person will be successful after only one application, while another may require multiple applications.
In addition, it also depends on whether you used epilation or shaved in the past. This encourages hair growth and substantially strengthens the roots of the hair.
The different areas of the body are also of importance. You will need more applications in the pubic area, as the hair in this region is naturally stronger.
- When is the best time for hair removal?
You can remove hair using HALAWA at any time. If you wish to orient yourself by the moon: Please generally remove hair under a waning moon and the sign of Capricorn. According to ancient tradition, the best day for hair removal is the morning of the 18th June.
- What do I do with the strip of material after depilation?
Lay it in warm water. You can re-use the strip of material as HALAWA dissolves in water. We recommend you boil the strip of material after use in order to avoid irritation to the skin.
- Are there any known complications or side-effects?
Test HALAWA on a small area prior to the first hair removal. Please do not use HALAWA if any allergic reactions occur. Reddening of the skin after treatment is normal and subsides after a short time. Please also do not use HALAWA again if the reddening persists.
Should a growth spurt occur after depilation: This is a hormonally induced reaction of the body that occasionally occurs in older women.
- How do I remove hair from individual areas of the body?
- Face
The facial skin is much more sensitive than on other areas of the body. Therefore, start carefully and work in two steps (from the middle to the right or left).
Use a small amount of HALAWA and short strips of material (approx. 15 cm). Do not use HALAWA twice on the same area when you apply it for the first time. If HALAWA is well tolerated, then you can use HALAWA twice on the same area.
Don't forget: Always stretch the skin well and pull the strips off flat and against the direction of hair growth.
- Upper lip / ladies' facial hair
First, powder one side, apply a little HALAWA (omit the dimple in the centre), massage on a short strip of material, stretch the skin and pull off flat against the direction of hair growth as rapidly as possible. Cool with iced water. Then depilate the other side. Finally, apply Aloe Vera Gel.
- Cheek / chin
Depilate this area from the middle to the right or left as well. Powder, apply HALAWA, stretch skin well, pull off against direction of hair growth, cool with iced water. Apply Aloe Vera Gel to care for and soothe the skin.
- Breasts
Do not apply HALAWA directly on to the nipple. Mould the paste in a ring around the nipples. Then put on the strips of material and massage on. Stretch the breast well!
If the hair on the breast is growing in different directions, then depilate the breast in several steps, always against the direction of the growth of hair.
Individual hairs can easily be removed using the pincer grip (use a little HALAWA between thumb and index finger).
- Stomach
Once more, pay attention to the direction of hair growth and proceed as for Application arms/legs.
- Back
You will not be able to depilate your back without help. Therefore, instruct a helper on how to proceed. Once more, pay attention to the direction of hair growth and proceed as for Application arms/legs.
- Bikini line / pubic area
Powder this area of the body carefully before starting. Ensure the skin is well stretched. Prepare some iced water in advance. As the hair in the pubic area is much more robust, cooling after depilation is very important and also pleasant. Pay attention to the direction of hair growth during hair removal and proceed bit by bit accordingly.
