My hair lasted 14 days - but it felt awful for most of that time - like somebody else's hair, which is not great when it was still firmly attached.

I wore a sleep cap to assist the tingly soreness (which clears quite quickly once the hair is gone) and emptied it out over the bathroom sink in the mornings! Quite efficient. Best wishes.
