What is paraffin wax?

You can, but it will be hard to get the wax out of your hair, so it might not be a great idea.

If you want to change the direction of your hair, apply styling wax to the roots rather than the ends.

Actually, it's just the opposite! Wax protects and moisturizes the skin of the ear canals, so having too little wax can make your ears itch.

No. The "turtle" part of Turtle Wax is just the name of the brand. No turtles are harmed to make turtle wax.

You should be able to find it at any pharmacy, drugstore or beauty retailer. Make sure you get one designed for facial use, as they are less harsh.

You should, but if you have sensitive skin, you can reduce this time to ten minutes. If it doesn't remove the hair though, you may need to leave it on...

You can use any fabric, as long as it can be thrown away afterwards. Or if the wax is thick enough, you can use your finger.

No, it's not necessarily bad. You just want to make sure that you're super careful. You don't want to accidentally rip a chunk out of your eyebrows that you didn't...

Well, it's kind of an awkward part of your body to wax if you're doing it at home. I'd say you may not be cleaning your skin thoroughly enough if...

Most candles are paraffin, I believe. If they are cheap, and feel firm when you press your finger against the wax, it's paraffin.
