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

I tried using a home wax kit today....it didn't go so well! i followed the directions but the hair just wouldn't completely come off! but some other hairs did....I really was wanting to remove all of the hair tonight though. but I am afraid that if I shave, it might irritate the skin where some of the hair was removed. I put some aloe Vera on after, and I am just going to leave it alone for tonight! do you think i could shave tomorrow and it will be okay!????

Hey i love hot waxing...........recently i brought Gigi warmer and tried with couple of waxes(slook hot wax & Gigis honey wax) & none of them picked a single hair............ Let me know where can it go wrong

I am on acne treatment. i have lots of hair on my hands and legs. doctor told me not to wax during the treatment and i dont want to use rasor or hair removal cream any idea how to remove the hair????

I have bought at home waxing kits, but none of them ever work. They won't bring off even one hair. I don't know if I am doing it wrong, or if my hairs are too short and corse for wax

buy veet wax strips ...much easier to use :)

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 :)
