How to Wax

Believe it or not, most European girls
wax, they do not shave. Why, you ask?
Simple! Waxing lasts longer, leaves your
skin smoother, and slowly gets rid of
the hairs the more you wax. But of
course, most girls wax because it’s
faster, cheaper, and painless. Regardless
of that, waxing is worth it in the long
run. You probably know already that
the more you shave, the more ingrown
hairs you get, which you cannot shave,
only pluck.

Although you have to grow your hair out
to wax, you don’t need to wait more than
a week! There are products out there that
work on short hair too, so you don’t have
to wait a month to wax your legs. Make
sure you choose a good product, either a
wax or sugar solution. Read the instructions
carefully and follow through, not forgetting
to test a patch of skin before waxing.

Start off with dry skin, this is very important.
Apply a thin layer of wax or sugar solution onto
your skin, following the hair growth direction.
Press the strip onto the solution and rub it
downwards. Grab a little piece at the end
(for example, at the bottom of your foot)
and quickly pull the strip towards you.
Make sure you putt in the opposite direction
of hair growth and that you do not pull
upwards or any other way. Repeat
procedure until all hair is gone.

As for the pain...you just have to take a deep
breath, bite your lip, and it’ll be over in a second.
Waxing only sting for about 2 seconds, and the
pain quickly disappears. If you get into the habit
of waxing, it will hurt less and less until eventually
your skin will get used to it, and it will not hurt!
Trust me, waxing is a lot better than shaving, plus
you get long-term results. The longer you wax,
your hairs slowly disappear and you’ll have to
wax less often!
