5 at-Home Waxing Tips from the Pros ...

hi there , u see im half arabic girl, so i got the "hairy" genes from dad :( im not full of hair, don't get the picture wrong hehe but i do have this belly hair line which im dying to remove, but when i do that then i end up with the color difference on my skin(since hair makes the skin look darker)so i get a white midline on my belly lol which is not cool, so i just want to ask should i remove the hair of my whole abdomin? like the whole thing?and is it better if i wax it rather than using the removal cream? thank you so much :)

I have recently started waxing and have one annoying problem...little patches of wax that I cannot get off of my skin after I am finished....and of course everything sticks to it! Anyone know what to use other than a lot of soap and rubbing alcohol?

HI i've never waxed or shaved(leg) before I was just wondering which is better to start with, SHAVING or WAXING cause i've seen my friends legs and they shave and well they have spots, and they say waxing is harder cause it leaves marks. So I just want advice from professional as I want to do it myself. Thanks `

Hi girls, I'm hairy too! So I use a combination of methods to keep hair free. I get leg/bikini waxed professionally when I can afford it (save up and go at least once to learn how if you want to do it at home but follow all instructions to the letter - use smaal, thin scrapes of wax in a round shape work best). Then if the weather is warm i use an epilady (small electric hair-plucking machine with a row of tweezers also called an Emjoy Gently or epilator) on my feet and lower legs so I can show them off. I use this every weekend on my underarm hair and backs of my hands and upper arms and sometimes bikini line. I also use the machine on my upper lip and sides of face - it is perfect here because it just takes the long and dark ones, and leaves the fine hair so you look natural: it is the best! Threading would work the same as an epilady. It is important to keep the epilady machine clean, while using and inbetween areas. I use alcohol/ metholated spirits to clean it, and I ensure my skin is clean, and the best time to remove hair is when you have warm skin - after exercise or a warm shower (but you must be completely dry). It can hurt at first but stick at it and the rewards are worth it. BEST TIP: Dont remove hair around the middle of your cycle (two weeks before (or after) your period) - you ovulate at this time and you feel pain much much more!! Special occasions I also use a GENTLE cream bleach specially designed for face hair, (Marzina brand is best one) on my stomach and forearm hair - this is also a very natural look (patch test and follow time limits and other instructions espeically if you have dark hair). Good luck girls :)

ok, i have a slight problem. ive waxed before and i absolutely love it. i will never return to shaving. also i found that to me, a sugar wax that can be removed with water, feels more gentiler than a wax of flower extracts that is removed with a special oil, anyway, problem is, i was waxing my legs for the first time, and it pulled up my skin like i was peeling! it didnt hurt at all, and none of my skin ever turned red, it doesnt hurt now, and it never bled or anything like that. it was just scary to see all my skin came up... it was only on the sides like the inner and outter of my calf, so i didnt continue. i have phsoriasis, but i didnt wax the area with it on it. i was just wandering if there was another way to avoid it. i believe ive followed directions. i pulled it up fast, and put it on the right direction. all that, it wasnt too hot, i didnt put too much on there. ive been waxing my eyebrows for quite some time, so i have some experience. i just really wanted to wax everything else because it just seems so much easier. and results last much longer. i dont want to bleach or anything with chemicals because i might have reactions from it. and shaving can sometimes be a hastle because i have to let my skin absorb the water so i can scrub off the dry skin where my psoriasis is, and if i dont, it can leave multiple cuts, and be painful. any suggestions?
