Not 100% painless, but also not that bad.

Hey y’all! I’m Essence, and I’m the beauty editor here at BuzzFeed. I kept seeing Hard Wax Beans on Instagram with all these claims about how it was painless, so I grew my leg hair out for a month to see if it really worked.

I asked my awesome co-worker Joanna to make a video of me trying it out for the first time, and as you can see by my face, I didn’t think that it was 100% painless. But also, it wasn’t that bad so scroll and get the full tea.

My legs don’t get super hairy and the hair is naturally fine, so I grew it out for a month so that I could have a good bit to work with.

To get rid of the hair on my legs, I've always just shaved them. When I was younger I tried Nair, but I HATED the smell and vowed to never do it again. While I haven't waxed my legs before, I have gotten a many bikini waxes for several years now. It hurts like a mother, but it works so I deal with it. I wasn't sure what to expect from this wax beads method, but I had my doubts that it would be painless.

So how do these wax beans work? You pour some of the beans into a wax pot and heat them until they melt. You want the consistency to be kind of like honey, not too watery. On the left is a pic of the wax beans before they’re melted, and on the right is what they look like after they’ve been heated. I heated them on the high setting in this Hot Wax Warmer by Salon Sundry.

Once it melted, I put a little on my finger to make sure it wasn't too hot.

Get the Hard Wax Beans on Amazon for $10.99.
