Waxing story + Best/Worst Waxer

I've been obsessed with hair removal ever since I was a kid. When I wasn't allowed to shave or wax, i tried to use tape and scissors to get rid of hair...needless to say it didnt work.


 My legs are little bit less hairy then Moniques, but they are still hairy as fuck!


I absolutely hate hair, I have a weird phobia when it comes to hair, i hate it.

Feminists can kiss my hairy legs! because I really like my legs to be smooth and sexy and thats my choice...












So I paid a trip to sallys, after my sister updated me on waxing at home. I use to use Veet ready to use Wax strips, but i switched to hot wax after a talk with my sister.

Having tried

Sugaring, which really didnt work for me, and didnt even pull 2 hair out, I was skeptical to try GIGI all purpose HONEE, thinking it would be sugaring...I picked up Suddenly Smooth wax (Aloe Vera and Deluxe Cream formula)

For the 2 years that I've been waxing myself with strip wax after Veet, i had great results but the hair almost always grew back within 2 days..i was sick of it...

The hair were breaking, they werent being pulled properly and i had these hideous bumps after..which is okay considering i yanked the hair out of my skin..but seriously stubble after pulling the strip is proof enough!!

I deserve Smooth legs!


I just went to sallys today and picked up GIGI All Purpose Honee after researching it extensively, and I couldnt wait to come home and try it... I waxed my face, even though there wasnt much hair on it, i had a regrowth...and wowwwwwww GIGI pulled out those little tiny hair with ease and minimal pain...compared to DELUXE cream wax..which pulled my skin out too....I didn't prep with anything but regular baby powder...and it worked soo well..


I will update when I wax my legs, I'm saving up the hairyness for valentines day, so I can be smooth and perfect for my date..even if the wax doesn't work...i know ill have smooth legs for that day alone..:D

BEST WAX so FAR: GIGI ALL PURPOSE HONEE


WORST WAX: SUDDENLY SMOOTH DELUXE CREAM WAX and PARISSA SUGAR

 I will also be using GIGI SLOW GROW so will review that too:D

Brazillian Wax and You *Everything you need to know*

Before getting my first brazillian wax, I desperately wanted to get it done, but loathed the idea of painful hair pulling. I researched everything, i wanted to know the good, the bad and the hairy. One day, I was sick of shaving my down there regions and decided I wanted to try it. I gave myself  "Half" a brazillian wax, and stopped short, because i was making myself nervous. I noticed the pain was bareble for me, and that I really could go through with it.

I researched salons and areas around me, my friend suggested I check Kijiji as well. So I finally found a lady, she gave me a great price, and she was very much certified. The company she had worked with is familiar to me, as I use to be one of their makeup models. ;)

I went in, removed everything below and was asked to lie down on the table. I let her know I was a brazillian half virgin, and she happily reminded me its a procedure thousands of women go through, and its really not that bad.
 
After years of shaving, i anticipated pain, and let me tell you there was pain. BUT It wasn't really as painful.
 I loved the results in the end soooo much, I'm hooked. I don't mind the pain. It goes within 30 seconds of the initial pull.

What to know?


Designs: you can ask for a specific look. Brazillians are usually ALL off
Prices - The cost can vary, some independent waxers  will charge much less

Double Dip- This area is really different from legs, arms and face. Avoid places that Double Dip (dip the same spatula they applied with in the wax container)
Take a Pain Killer- I didn't take one but it does help
Exfoliate- No matter WHAT part of your body you wax, you must ALWAYS exfoliate a day before. Make sure to do this Before and 2 days after waxing to prevent ingrowns.
Moisturize-  I know seems really weird, but moisturize your down there with coconut or olive oil, as it is all natural and contains no chemicals or scents. Do this before and After
Wash- before you go in for a wax, ALWAYS shower and rigorously clean the area, it makes it easier for you and them.
No Perfume: Do NOT ever spray your private bits!


Chlorine and Tanning: AVOID for atleast 48 Hours.
Clothes: go ahead and rock those baggy pants, wear breathable fabrics that arent snug, you wanna avoid friction as much as you can. 
Periods: Don't get waxed 2-3 days before your period and 2-3 days after your period. Your pain tolerance will be high. And obvious reasons don't get it done while youre on your period .
Wine: Ask for a glass of wine at a high end place, its going to calm your nerves
Time: give yourself 2-3 weeks to regrow (longer depending on your hair cycle. 
Maintenance: you can even maintain your brazillian yourself..simply by using stripless wax, you can remove regrowth every week. Be skilled though
