Waxing your legs isn't as hard or frightening as you may think. I'm going to walk you through it.
Difficulty Level: Medium Time Required: 20 minutes
Here's How:
- Choose your product. There are waxes or sugar solutions available.
- Read instructions thoroughly... twice.
- If product needs to be heated, do so for suggested time.
- Test the temperature so that you don't burn yourself.
- Check legs to be sure that they are dry. This is very important.
- For first time waxers, apply a thin layer of wax/sugar solution in a small area of the leg following hair growth direction.
- Press muslin strip onto leg.
- At the bottom of the strip (closest to your foot), turn a small area back against the strip. It should be resting flat against the strip about to be removed.
- Lift the end as instructed and pull back toward you. Do not pull up. Pulling back is the correct procedure.
- Bite down on your lip GENTLY. The pain will ease up in a second or two. ;)
- Repeat procedure if you have missed a few hairs.
- Continue the leg until you are hair free!
- You must be careful not to burn yourself. I have heard lots of stories of this happening.
- If the hair is not coming off, it may be that you are pulling up rather than pulling vertically. I made this mistake on my first few tries.
- Pain? It was not half as bad as I expected. It stings for a second and then it stops. Actually it is a lot easier than I imagined. My only mistake was pulling the strips off incorrectly.
