Waxing---the right way?

[man]

Hi I need help. i have never waxed before so I want to know what is the right way of waxing? And what do we need to do before and after waxing? And is true that if you wax alot, your hair will eventually stop growing? Also it will not cause our pores to grow bigger right? I have a friend who shave her legs alot, and the pores on her leg is huge and hair grows thicker and thicker. It wont happen if I wax it right? And which is the best wax to use? Hot? Cold? Sugar? And has anyone heard or / try Nad's before. I heard its suppose to be really good.

I use hot wax, warm it up to the appropriate temperature according to the instructions, and then apply a thin even layer to an area of hair i want to remove. Spread the wax on in the direction of hair growth, and then take the strip provided and press it on firmly to the wax. Hold the strip from the bottom, and swiftly .. vey swiftly ... pull it up against the hair growth. Doing this slowly hurts more, and less hairs come out. Repeat on remaining hair.

Hair doesn't grow back thicker. The hair is pulled from the root, and so unlike shaving there is no blunt edge, which makes the hair seem coarse. I've ben waxing for a long time, and the hair growth appears to be sparse. Depends on which cycle of growth the hair is in, so appears at different times after waxing.

I've heard of Nad's - never tried it. I use Veet and it works fine for me. I have tried sugaring ... attempted to make my own which was very time consuming and didnt work. Apparently sugaring attaches to the hair, and not the skin so much and therefore, there is less pain involved. It uses natural ingredients, so is also not as harsh perhaps, and may have some other benefits? I'm not sure. I wouldn't try using a ready made sugar now, seeing as waxing works for me, and that recently i prefer to epilate instead.

If you're unsure about what to go for, maybe visit a salon and have them show you, or try the different types. Also, if you haven't waxed before, going to a salon for the first time will give a good indication of how it will feel and will make it easier for you to try yourself next time!

i would suggest hot wax, i think sugaring is crap and can be tricky to do if u havent done it before the results ent as good either! are u gonna use ready waxed strips? or use a spatula and dip it in the wax?

your pores wont get bigger, they'll get smaller and your hairs come back finer not thicker! u will notice not so many hairs grow back and will just be kinda patchy really, eventually (we can be talkin years here) hairs can stop growing.

Hi I've used Nads and it didn't work for me at all. It was a real pain to use and got all over everything. I've also gone to salons. (I prefer going to the salons for my eyebrows.) For my legs right now I'm using Veet and it works well for me. The only thing I found was when I first started to use Veet it didn't work "perfectly." It left some hair. But the more I've used it the better it does and now it's to the point where it removes all the hair for quite a while. I reccommend it over shaving anyday. :icon_bigg
