Help On Waxing Legs!?

Question

I need to know everything there is to wax my legs && maybe arms. What do i need to do before, During, && after. Also things to keep in mind of, if ders anything. Please && Thank You. :]

Answer 1

Here's a tip - DON'T shave or wax ANY sort of hair!!! Once you do it for one time, you will never be able to stop because the hair will grow back faster, thicker, and coarser. Bleaching is an option, but only if you have light to medium-dark skin because the bleached hairs will stand out if you have dark skin. My advice is to NEVER shave or wax. Thank you.

Answer 2

It takes some courage of conviction to wax your legs, so good for you!

You just need a suitable waxing kit; look for ones that have a spreed/roll-on wax and waxing strips, as these are the most efficient. They don't have to be a heat-up-before-use wax, but it's better if they are. Don't bother going for any ones where you just peel the wax off: waste of time and money!!

The packets all come with plenty of info, but main points are to clean your legs/arms and dry them thoroughly (use powder if you want). Apply wax down the leg in the direction of hair growth (across the arm) and smooth cloth strip on top in the same direction.

Then comes the important bit! You need to pull the strip quickly but DON'T pull up and away from your leg, but back towards your knee. If you pull wrong, you'll pull off more then just your hairs!!!

Invest in some after waxing balm, to sooth your legs. Don't worry if they go all red and blotchy, it's normal and will go after a day. You can then just pluck out the odd hair with a pair of tweezers.

Good Luck honey!

PS. Trust me on this, don't wax your arms, it just looks weird (and I know this the hard way) Instead get some bleaching kit, it's easier and far less painfull (You'll will had had enough pain with your legs anyway)

Buy some Veet ready to use wax strips which will make it easier to wax. Rub the strip in your hands to warm it up then removal the backing and press it firmly on to your skin then pull it of quickly. It will hurt but quickly do it so it will be less pain full. Pull the hair from the direction it is growing so it can come of completely. Good luck!
