WhitneyTips for Waxing Hair Removal
July 4th 2009 15:41
• Make sure you have grown out all stubble from previous hair removal. It's best that the hair be at least a quarter of an inch.
* Determine the best style of wax or sugar product for your hair type. Pre-coated wax stripes are best for a quick and easy hair removal, especially great for beginners. Sugar waxes are great for washable, mess-free hair removal, especially for people with sensitive skin or light hair growth.
* Wax regularly for best results, every 2-6 weeks.
* Minimize the pain caused by waxing by taking an aspirin or ibuprofen a half an hour before-hand; keep the skin tight throughout the treatment; and apply a soothing ointment after waxing.
* Apply the wax or strips on small sections to prevent a mess.
* If the area is very sensitive, you can numb the area first with a bikini analgesic crème or gel or an ice cube.
* If you have short, coarse hair, try a heatable wax.
* Apply the wax in the direction of hair growth, but remove in the opposite direction.
If you prefer to go to a salon to get waxed, make sure that you get references if you've never used a salon before.
* Make sure that the salon specializes waxing (don't go to a nail salon that happens to do waxing to get your bikini wax).
* The night before, make sure that you exfoliate your skin to rid it of any debris, which will help ensure that all the hair is removed.
* Apply a pre-wax oil after cleaning the skin.
