This is the most perfect nose and ear waxing kit. I can't imagine another product being this easy, simple and EFFECTIVE! I was apprehensive the first time using it, but there was literally zero pain. Highly recommend! Read more

Hair in the wrong places is the bain of my existence. Pulling nose hairs individually hurts and is time consuming. This did a good job at grabbing most of the hairs. Now that I have done it I will be able to do a better job the next time I do it. Use the mustache guards if you have ANY hair on your upper lip. I used boiling water on a rag to soften it enough it remove a little drop on my lip. Figuring out wax temp is the hardest part and even that isn't very difficult. Do not use laying on your back. The wax hardens pretty quick but you don't want it to flow if it can be avoided. I only say that because if someone is doing this to you you might want to lay down. Instructions in the box are very straight forward and easy to understand. Definitely worth the money if you have a nose beard. Read more

As I've been getting older (argh) I've noticed that I'm getting more nose hair than usual. This has been really bothersome, and at first I bought one of those electronic nose hair trimmers. It... kind of helped. It made the nose hairs shorter, when it got them, which wasn't often enough for my liking. So, then, I decided to buy some nose hair wax. I thought the box for this one looked amusing, and it had good reviews... so I gave it a shot, and I'm sure glad that I did. Kenashii provides everything you need: The cup-o-wax (don't forget to nuke it on 50% power, y'all), the sticks, some "post-waxing balm wipes," the gently adhesive mustache covers, the cotton bag, and the instructions. So, you put the mustache covers over any whiskers you may have under the nasal openings, nuke the wax, get some on the sticks, try not to get it too early when it's running all over the place (you'll learn), and then shove that up your nose for a couple of minutes. All of this part is super-easy. Then... you yank the suckers out. Does it hurt? Surprisingly, no. I mean, it's not joyously comfortable, but if you're thinking "ripping out nose hairs has got to hurt like crazy" -- it doesn't! Once that wax has set in and you pull those sticks down, it's an odd feeling, but not bad at all! And are they effective? I'm not going to share photos, but holy poo, yes they are. The first time I tried it, just from looking into my nostrils in the mirror, I figured I'd be pulling out maybe eight or ten hairs per nostril. Oh, I was so mistaken. I regularly pull out at least two dozen hairs PER NOSTRIL. That's not an exaggeration. You have to make sure and position the wax correctly (especially getting those patches of hair immediately over the nostril openings), but if you do so, this thing pulls out a FASCINATING amount of hair. Want to do it a second time? Go for it. I have before. But, then again, apparently the amount of hair in my nose is akin to what I'd have if I had snorted an entire Gene Shalit. Plus - not to be gross, but I want to add that looking at the hairs once they're pulled out is one of the most oddly satisfying feelings out there. If you're doing this and you feel like you didn't pull out nearly enough hair, look at them closely with a DARK background. My nose hairs are about 20-25% dark and 75-80% light. Once you rip them out, use one of those post-waxing balm wipes. But make sure to only use them around the external skin around your nostril, because if you shove them up your nose, who knows what could happen? Well, I'm a Thrillseeker™ and I HAVE shoved them up my nose to see what would happen. I lived to tell the tale. Seriously... is there anyone who's going to use these "balm wipes" and NOT try shoving them up where their hair forest used to reside? I think that Kenashii very likely put "external use only" on those wipes for strictly legal reasons. So, you might be thinking, "But... what about other brands? Don't they all do the same thing?" NO. Once, in a pinch when Kenashii was sold out (and I'd misplaced my kit!), I tried another brand whose name rhymed with "Choke-Ear." The sticks were not as effectively-shaped (yep, it made a difference), and even the way that I had to melt the wax in the microwave was different. That stuff didn't do nearly as good of a job as the Kenashii. So, I bought the Kenashii again once it was back in stock. I'm on my third Kenashii kit, and I hope the company stays around forever so that I can keep buying and using these things until I'm eventually horizontal in a box. I also want to mention a couple more items: The instructions and the cloth bag. If you want a chuckle, READ those instructions!! The people behind Kenashii put a lot of effort into making their manual one of the most humorous manuals you'll ever read. It's great to find a company who can see the humor in their product, while actually making a REALLY great product. And that bag... well... um... I don't use it for the Kenashii stuff. I've now got three cloth bags. They're good for whatever you'd want to use cloth bags for. Marbles? Sure. A big bunch of Werther's Originals? I presume. Smallish adult toys? Yes, indeedy! Pogs? Go for it... I won't judge. NO, Kenashii didn't send me a freebie for review. They didn't have to. I bought the product, I loved the product, and after buying and loving it two more times, I wanted to share my praise with the world for a product whose sole focus is to rip the hair out of my nasal cavities. Oh... what's that? I can use it on my ears, too? I plan on doing so SOON. If the experience is half as joyful and successful as when I use Kenashii on my nose, then I'll still be thrilled. So... if you're facing the fact that you've got a lot of gross hair hanging out in the front lobby of your sinuses, get the Kenashii. Use as directed. Except, of course, for those balm wipes. (Disclaimer: I accept zero responsibility if anything bad happens if you misuse the balm wipes.) Read more

I was skeptical about the product, but tired of trying to trim the hairs growing out of my nose and ears. At least I figured out where all the hair that used to be on TOP of my head has gone. I have a mustache, so the included mustache-protectors were a great idea. It HURTS to pull out those hairs. I can tell you that because I tried it once without using them and paid the price. It’s important to get it to the right consistency, which means heating it to the proper temperature, which isn’t as easy as the directions promise. It hurts a little when you pull the wax out, but it is very effective, and the little packets with the special wipes do help soothe the area. Also, it sticks to “dry” hairs better, so be sure to blow your nose and really dry out the hairs before using the wax. Otherwise, you won’t get as much out when it’s time to pull. I’ve used it on my ear hair (the only totally black hair still left on my head 😏), but realized I need to be very careful when I do it. You need to make sure you don’t completely “clog up” the ear canal with the wax, or you could damage your eardrum from air pressure when you pull the wax out. However, it was VERY effective when I used it that way. I need to do it again soon. A few other things to keep in mind is that the wax seems to get harder to melt each time you use it. I should say it takes considerably longer to heat to the proper consistency after you’ve microwaved the jar a few times. Importantly, make sure to keep the jar upright until the wax has completely cooled. I made the mistake of putting it back in the bag, on its side, before it cooled, and it really made it harder to heat it up the next time because some of the hot wax had gone up the sides of the jar. Also, I DID get a little blood the last time I used it, yesterday, and it seemed like not all of the wax came out. The soothing wipes helped a lot though. I recommend keeping them close. It’s a product that seems to be well-engineered for the job it does. The kit they give you is complete. The instructions are complete, and the background on the product and how to use it is funny. I’m wondering if it’ll keep working after microwaving the wax several more times, but I recommend it. Read more
