- It's been a while since y'all have asked me to share how I wax at home and I am SO sorry it's taken me this long! I had hoped to get it up in the spring...but, well, that didn't happen! But I hope you still find it useful! I've been waxing various parts of my body at home for nearly 5 years now and have grown pretty comfortable using hard wax. I hope my video is informative and can help you out if you've been wanting to try waxing at home.
As I stated in my video, I am NOT a professional! If you are, and have any tips/tricks/advice to share, please leave them in the comments for us all to read! I love learning and improving my waxing abilities! đ€

Don't underestimate your cosmetology education. You can do hair, skin, and nails, girl. You also took the time to research and educate yourself beyond school to do this... and that all counts. I went to school with many esthetician students who graduated and couldn't wax to save their life. It's all in what you put into it. You made a great video for people at home. Thanks. â€
Thank you so much for the sweet comment!
I've decided to start waxing myself while in quarantine. I'm so hairy and in the long run I'll be saving so much money
It really does save a lot of money if you can handle doing it yourself - waxing services are pricey, understandably
girl same!
Iâve been doing it for like a year now, and as a teen is definitely way better for saving money. Just put on a movie and have a self care night :)
@@philippaballard4953 I've been waxing myself since quarantine started in US and I'm happy I started and yes saving a lot of money!
Howâs it going? I want to start waxing myself!!
"I do not recommend Gigi Hard Wax at all"
Me: Looks at the tub of gigi hard wax that I just ordered
Catarina...same! Just bought a huge bag!!
@@leahmcfarland5898 just bought a $20 bag from Sallys đ€Šââïž
Oh Iâm so sorry!! đđ
@@KatieMarie what's so bad about it?
BlackGirlLovesAnime6 I found it hardens really quickly and can stick to the skin. But maybe theyâve improved their formula-I havenât tried them in 3-4 years
This was by far the best video that explains how to use hard wax. I love this so mucb
I am SO glad it was helpful!
Sameeeeeeee!
I highly recommend waxing to anybody who is going to get a tattoo. Make sure it's done a few days before your appointment and it helps out a lot. They'll have to shave the area anyway, but waxing will mean you won't have itchy stubble growing in right after you get your tattoo. Especially on your legs, it also gives you enough time for your piece to heal before you would need to shave again.
Ohh, Iâve never thought of that, but thatâs a good point! Thanks for sharing
Yes! I got my first tat a month or so ago and really wish I had waxed instead đ but I'm definitely doing it for my next one
Iâve been waxing for years, this has given me the idea to do it myself. Iâve even had my waxer bring in students to show them how to do male Brazilians so Iâve heard her explain hair growth direction etc. I think Iâm ready to try this myself, the tough area will be the âbehindâ. Good video!
Well now I'm invested. How did the at home waxing go?
Amazed at how nice it left your skin looking! I expected it to be red but nope!
Thanks! I think itâs area dependent - my face gets pretty red after waxing, but my arm doesnât đ€·đ»ââïžđ€
I just started getting brazilian waxing done. I can't imagine trying to do it to myself because it's so hard to get the right angle.
You definitely need to be very flexible and have a mirror handy đ€Łđ
Great video! I just got a waxing kit and Iâm very excited to use it, I learned so much from this thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Good tutorial! This is very useful, thanks!
Youâre welcome!
Great video! Like you I semi-regulary get my legs waxed and would love to try it myself. Kit has been ordered. Feel more informed after watching your honest vid.
I hope you have good luck with it - it takes a few times to get used to it, but soon i was really comfortable and quick working with the wax âșïž
Great video! Thank you for the tutorial so informational.
Youâre welcome!
I did bikini area once and can I say I thought I was gonna have a heart attack and I like to think I have a high pain tolerance but down there OH NO I was shaking, sweating, knees where weak and thought I was gonna have to pass out. After my niece and daughter where done laughing to the point of tears i had to have them help me because i couldn't finish it đđđđđđđđđđ
It is certainly an experience the first time!! đ€Łđ
Itâs certainly an experience the first time!đ€Łđ
I just wanna thank you for the laugh đ Iâm scared to do it myself but Iâm working up the courage watching CZcams
This was funny. I needed that laugh đ
The bikini area is not an area that I recommend people with little to no waxing experience to try. BRACE YOURSELF: 1st, trim the AREA, 2ND, CLEAN/DRY WELL. 3RD, if the numbing product can be used there, USE IT! Due to the shape of the area the pull will go much easier if your legs bent @tbe knee,pull upper thigh area away & upper bikini zone in opposite direction,hold as tigh as u can & then RIP! This is why its really not the AREA to do yourself. Hope that helps.
gosh DARN thats so effective and easy looking. I've only tried shaving and wax strips and both dont really work for me.
Bought the Gigi waxing warmer that included their hard wax and I was getting so frustrated when I couldnât get it right! This made me realize I was doing everything right and Gigiâs wax is just terrible! Ordered the blue wax from this video and Iâm waxing currently and itâs going so smoothly! Thanks!
Oh that is so great to hear! Itâs been at least 5-6 years since I tried the GiGi heâd wax but I remember the same thing - it was so painful and impossible to remove! And then I got the blue wax and itâs actually fairly easy to remove with little left behind! Crazy why a big difference good wax can make!
Oh wow, I got Gigiâs lavender painless hard wax beads and Iâm kinda scared to use it now
@Alondra Mora same here, unfortunately I bought two bags and now I donât know what to do with them :(
Same! My kit came w creme wax and itâs absolute trash!!! Useless!!!
Do not recommend.
I bought the Gigi wax for the bikini area and it's AWFUL. I'm going to try this wax and see if it helps!
Great video! Just make sure to be using a brand new stick for each application đ you can also use the stick you used to lay the wax to help pull up the edge of your strip that way you donât have a hard time trying to lift from the edges with your fingers.
Thanks for the tips!! đđ must be a learning curve to using the old stick - I tried it a few times and felt so clumsy, I couldnât get it to flip up the edge well enough đ€Ł
Such a helpful video. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. Going to try it now!
Nice video! I just purchased all the items you used. Question the tin that the wax beads come in.. you place that container inside the warmer? What if you donât want to use that much wax?? Wouldnât it be a waste of wax??? Maybe Iâm misunderstanding something
Yes, the tin goes inside the wax warmer. When Iâm done, I just turn off the wax warmer and let it cool - the wax will harden again and once it is I take the tin out, put the lid on it, and put it away for next time - the wax is still good and will melt down no problem next time you need to wax. Just give it a little longer to melt, since it has to melt from one solid lump instead of tiny beads. Hope that makes sense! đđ
hi! i have a question, i'm planning to wax myself, and usually when i get waxed at my local waxing salon, they usually say don't wet it after, does this apply when putting on lotion and other things?
Hmmm thatâs interesting-when I used to go in I would be advised not to sweat, get in the pool, etc, for 24 hours but they always end the waxing by putting a lotion/serum all over to remove wax and prevent ingrown hairs.
do you use a new stick for each strip you do or can you reuse them? thanks!
You SHOULD use a new stick every time you go back into the wax bowl...but not going to lie, I usually rotate and use all 4 sides before tossing...because Iâm cheap đ
Hi! First of all thanks this video that encouraged me too to try waxing. I have a question, I bought the items you listed in the description. But the wax warmer didn`t come with a can to put in , neither the blue wax beads, and I don`t know if it is safe to put waxes directly in the warmer. I couldn`t clearly see in the video but I assume you also use a wax can to put waxes in it and then place in the warmer. Can I ask where did you buy yours from?
Sorry I didnât see this comment sooner - yeah, youâll want to buy a can first. You can purchase the same brand of beads in a cab for your first time, and then refill with the bay - thatâs what i did âșïž
What is the type of wax that you use? I just got my first wax heater, similar to yours, and i got some depilatory hard wax beans. Do you also use the beans style? In what other forms does hard wax come? are there cheaper alternatives (e.g. plain blocks of wax) as well? Would really appreciate ur insight:D
I link the wax I use in the description box - yes, theyâre beads. All the hard wax Iâve seen-tried tend to come on beads so jt melts easy đ€
Hi I was just curious how do you dispose of the wax after? Do you just throw it in the garbage or do you wrap them in plastic? Iâm about to try waxing myself and your video helped me a lot. Thanks!
I use a grocery bag and toss them in there as a wax, and then throw it onto the regular trash afterwards đ€·đ»ââïž
So can the hard wax go straight into the heater or do you leave it in the tin it comes in to then heat it up?
Found nowhere that specifies this :(
Sorry I didnât specify - yeah you want to keep it in the tin when you put it into the warmer. You donât want to pour it straight into the warmer! đ
Iâve never had ingrown from waxing. Only from shaving if I didnât wipe with alcohol sufficiently. Havenât used my wax kit yet. The Brazilian is definitely on my list.
Hope your waxing goes well for you!
@@KatieMarie I did it last week and it hurt less than when I go to the salon. smh. :)
Do you leave the wax in your warmer when you're done with it? Or are you supposed to like clean it out or something??
I leave it and just put the cover back on the waxing tin and next time I need to wax I put it in the warmer and heat it back up đđŒ
Great Video Katie Marie Wow
Thank you!
What temp do you leave it on, I canât seem to get the right consistency
I set it all the way low for this waxer đđŒ
Hi do you have to have a can in the wax warmer? I have hard wax beads but not in a can
Yess you need a can-you can buy an empty one, or this wax I but also sells it in a can!
I heard u can use which hazel toner for cleanser or after waxing maybe both Iâm not sure. Do u know about that?
Ekk, Iâm not sure - Iâm not a professional - but that sounds like it would HURT. All your pores are very open, sometimes you can get some bleeding....so I would imagine the witch hazel would sting đ
I was screaming with pain for you. Iâm debating of buying the kit I never waxed before and I donât have any sound proof walls lol. Great video
You get used to the feeling and it isnât so much painful, as maybe a little surprising every time - the pain is incredibly quick, too, and within moments of removing it, the pain is gone âșïž
What it is call? The paper/plastic-sheet used placed on the wax it self to remove the hair's ..i know spatulate is used to spread wax but it 2 ways one u can pull off wax it self but other is use some sort paper/plastic sheet to stick on wax than pull it off ..I want know that paper is called ????
So! I am wondering, when youâre done.. do you just let the wax harden in the warmer and just re-melt it when you are ready to wax again?
Yes, thatâs exactly what I do with it đđŒ
I just purchased a waxing kit and im so excited đđ
Yay. Hope you have a good experience!
Me too! It's coming today. How did it go for you?
@@sukai9935 it went good for me, on my kitty is the only place it hurt really, wishing you luck!
@@janellisalazar2407 oh awesome! And thank you, I'll be needing the luck lol
I've seen brows and staches done but never arms. It's interesting to see.
Yes, I practiced on those areas in cosmetology đ€
Are you familiar with European Wax Center products? Like their prep, wax and what they put on the skin after? I use their exfoliating scrub which I love but are the products you mentioned best for thick, coarse hair?
The same wax she is using I looked it up last night. They put their ingrown hair serum after. Idk what they use to prep before they powder though.
Yes, I went to EWC several years ago. I donât remember exactly what they use, but this wax is similar and the blue wax is good for coarse hair - I use it down there đ€
what setting do you heat your wax on ?
The lowest possible one
So good to have you back! Congrats on your pregnancy! I find o hard to wax myself I can't pull the strip knowing it will hurt. I'm such a coward, I
know, lol
Thank you Marina, itâs good to be getting back in the swing of things!
Lol, no, youâre not a coward! I find it so hard, too, on the areas that are sensitive. Doing down there I often have to take a deep breath and give myself a moment before I get up the courage to pull it. Cause once you start to pull, you want to make sure you get the whole strip up so you donât have to do it again...until the next piece, that is, haha!
I've only tried waxing at home once-- my husband helped me (did underarms and bikini line) and I just coudn't take it! I'm soo sensitive lol.
Those are both REALLY sensitive areas! I havenât tried my underarms just because they are so sensitive and itâs so quick to do in the shower, but I can imagine the pain level đđđ itâs hard to Pull it yourself!!!
thank you for this!
You're so welcome!
hi! Do i need a separate container to put the beads in? Or can i directly put it into this warmer? Thank you!!
I need to know too đ«
Sorry for the late reply - yes, you need a spectate container to pour the beads into!
Hi, do I have to use the wax cleanser? Can't I just use the baby powder? And after waxing, can I just use any moisturizer? Hope you reply soon â„ïžđ
The wax cleanser cleans the area, the baby powder more so just puts a barrier between your skin and the wax. At least, thatâs how I understand it đ€ and yes, I use a really gentle moisturizer to put on afterwards
After they applied by hand/wooden spatula to pull it off it off 2 ways 1 is stick on than pull it off other is use that paper u can use can anyone know that paper is called ???? Thanks..
epilating strips! or muslin strips
I usually use the gigi ready wax pods w/ strips.
But today I decided to try beads⊠itâs a small bag but it didnât last me anything. I literally used half a bag of wax beads for my legs.
The ready wax lasted me about 6-8 leg waxes.
Can it be that Iâm not applying it right?
Possibly I suppose, maybe youâre making your strips a bit too thick than it needs to be đ€·đ»ââïž
Hi! I just ordered the tin and Gigi wax warmer, do you place the tin directly in the wax warmer?
Yes! Make sure you have some wax beads in there before you warm it up (some wax tins you can buy empty)
Instead of having to buy a cleanser and all of those things can I just use: *alcohol swabs (for cleaning), baby powder, coconut oil, a body lotion.* or do I have to buy them? And if I missed anything I need for like prewaxing or after waxing please tell me!đ
I would imagine you could use toner for cleaning the area, definitely baby powder as a barrier for the wax -- I do that sometimes if my skin gets too moist/sweaty while waxing.And some type of gentle and moisturizing lotion to put on afterwards.
I tried to wax my face, with stripe but it gets cool to fast; don't give me time to apply the stripes... So what is your suggestion?
I havenât tried them, but have heard itâs hard to get the timing right for those strips you heat up
Thank u. I had angel hair pasta wax all over me and theroom! Twirling helped.
Glad it helped!
Great video, what was the song at the end?
It was this song -- czcams.com/video/__CRWE-L45k/video.html
when i try waxing it doesnât pull of all the hair and the wax even chips when iâm trying to take it off, what am i doing wrong lol
me too, i just tried waxing and idk if itâs my wax, but it doesnât pull off all my hairs
it's probably too thick
could be spread too thinly or left too long? you wanna get it when it feels like firm rubber, any longer and it goes brittle x
My hard wax is melting very well. But it's not working as like you. When i spread it in my hair, It is not pulling my hair. And becoming too dry at same time of spreading. Is it because of that its old or any other issue there ?
Hmmm, is it perhaps not warm enough? If itâs too cool, it wonât adhere to my skin well. What brand of hard wax do you have?
Thank you for the video! That was super helpful. Do you throw away the wax with the hair on it or do you reuse it?
Iâm glad it was helpful! Yes, I throw it away once I remove the wax/hair
This was soo helpful! Thank you darlingâ€ïž
Iâm so glad!
Is the blue wax good for coarse dark hair ?
Yes, works great for me!
Any advice for waxing at home and if you get wax on a towel if youre doing legs or lower body and the hard wax drips off on accident?
I have a designated towel I use to protect the area around where I am waxing - if any wax gets on a towel, I find you can pull some of it off, but it doesnât fully ever cover off. If it drops onto my counter or tile floor, I find if I let it harden completely, I can use tweezers to pop it off pretty easy
@@KatieMarie thank you!
Maybe my wax is old. I can never get it so smooth like you do.
Maybe, or it could be not warm/melted enough? Whatâs the brand? When I tried using GiGiâs hard wax, i could never get it as smooth as when I use this brand
@@KatieMarie I don't believe it has a name brand. I bought it off of Amazon. Pro-warmer100 or pro waxer 100.
Huh, okay, havenât heard of it. maybe it is old tho - Iâve never seen a hard wax thatâs chunky or not smooth when melted đ€·đ»ââïž
I'm an Este. Spread the wax on the side of stick not on the flat side. Round all sides of the ends of the wax to be a little thicker so you can quickly catch wax and will reduce wax residue. If you do another tutorial please mention not to rewax the same area twice. It will cause bruising. Other than that good job for not being an Este. Yes Gigi is the worst wax.
Thank you for the tips, Iâll try the side of the stick next time!! đ€ and Iâll update my pinned comment to add that warning. Do you know if itâs a bruise thatâll happen if you repeat the same area long term? Because, not going to lie, Iâve gone over the same area more than once in my arms and never notice anything afterwards đ
@@KatieMarie it breaks capillaries. But heals just like hickeys. It doesn't matter how long. Rewaxing the same spot normally causes bruising. You were blessed that it didn't on you.
Best Practices Before I wax can I use witch hazel or should I use the gigiâs pre epilation oil?
@@chadneybrown7679 oil is best. Witch hazel you would use before waxing
hard wax is the blue one right ?
I linked the wax I use in my description box, but yes the hard wax I buy is blue
Would you overall recommend the brand? I have tattoos and am interested in using their tattoo edition one
Which brand? GiGi, or the hard wax brand that i use?
@@KatieMarie the hard wax brand! I should of been specific sorry lol
So what is the best wax beads to get?
I've only tried a few, but discovered this brand and haven't switched it up since, it's easy to use and very smooth! Here's my affiliate link -- amzn.to/34S1VND
My wax either doesnt go to suck consistency and runs over skin and doesnt stick on skin, either if i get it to consistency as you have, it is burning hot and when it cool, itâs very fragile and i canât pick it up at all. Maybe itâs was quality or warmer..?
Hmm, whatâs the wax youâre using? And whatâs the wax warmer? It could definitely be making it too hot and liquidy, but once it starts to cool down and you allow an even layer, it should all come off smoothly. Make sure youâre not laying down too thin of a later or waiting too long to pull it off - both are techniques you figure out the more you do it to find that perfect thickness and timing to allow it to come off the best
Great video maam hope you have a great week maam:)))).
Thank you!!
I bought the wax sticks. I didnât read. The ones listed are the size small not the big onesđ€Šđœââïž Iâll still use them but just in case someone else decides to buy
Oh shoot, Iâm so sorry!! Iâll edit the description to make it clearer đ
Where can I get the empty can I have the bag ?
If you see where I linked the bag, you can buy a smaller container that comes in a tin - thatâs what I did originally, then now I just repurchase the bags
I have a question!!! I want to wax my peach fuzz on my upper lip but I've heard so many different answers saying it helps it become thinner to barely growing, to the fuzz gets thicker and darker. Please help me! Does it make the fuzz darker
It should become thinner
It wouldnât make it return thicker, it would become thinner if anything since the more you wax an area you can âdamageâ the hair follicle and it can stop growing completely. So waxing wouldnât make MORE follicles to cause the hair to me thicker, if anything thinner over time. Iâve noticing significantly less hair in certain on the areas I wax routinely. And not in like patches or anything, just overall itâs not so dense with hair follicles like it used to be before I was waxing
Oh my gosh can you start already please, it's like taking me forever waiting for you to start!
Iâve included time stamps for you đđŒ
You can fast forward đ€Šđ»ââïž
Any tips on how to clean your wax warmer after using it?
Iâm sorry, I donât đ I usually pour more wax into the warmer and let it melt again, then Iâll unplug and let it cool. Once itâs hard I put the lid on and store away for next time
Katie Marie well itâs an alternative tip though. Thanks! :)
Youâre welcome!!
I use this same blue wax on my eyebrows
It works great, I love it!
What is the brand name of the blue wax?
Do you keep the wax plugged in ? Or can you unplug it while waxing ?
Yes, I keep it plugged in while using. Sometimes Iâll turn it off for a few minutes if the wax is too hot on the lowest setting, but thatâs only for a few minutes or the wax will thicken too much
Is it ok if i use corn starch instead of baby powder
Iâm honestly not sure about that
I think the wax mentioned by katie is called cirepil blue wax.
Yes! It should be linked in my description boxđđŒ still use and love it!
How to store left over wax from the warmer?
I just leave it in there and once itâs harden, put the cover on and store away till next timeđđŒ
can i put hard wax into the gigi wax machine without a tin can ??????
No, you need a tin can - they sell one on Amazon, the same wax i linked. Just switch to a smaller size and it comes in the can you can reuse
Can u mix something in the gigi wax to make it more pliable
Iâm not sure what you would use⊠đ€·đ»ââïž
Do you need a wax warmer thing or can you microwave it or put in on the stove
This formula is made to be warmed in a wax warmer đđŒ
My wax removes some hair but not all.. what am i doing wrong..?
Make sure you're applying the wax in the same direction as the hair is laying down, and then removing the opposite way -- this helps grab more hairs
Is it better to soak in a bathe before waxing so it isnât as painful?
I personally donât, as Iâve heard itâll make your hair harder for the wax to really grip onto đ€·đ»ââïž
very nice vid
Thanks!
I tried it but holy the wax is sooo hot I burnt myself.. and when I try to cool it for a lil bit it just turn cold and hard in a minute what should I do ?
I pick it up on my wooden spatula and twirl it until it cools down -- typically when it starts to cool down enough to apply, it'll be very slow at trying to drip off the spatula. When it's too hot, it just takes a moment to drip off the spatula so that's why I twirl it until it's cooled down enough
@@KatieMarie okay I'll try that thank you âĄ
im 15 and im so insecure about my body hair and i needed some advice, should i start waxing or is it too early?
I started getting my eyebrows waxed at about 14, the legs at 15. I'd recommend waxing over shaving, but shaving can be more convenient. I'd also recommend hair removal creams like nair if you don't have the budget for waxing regularly :) I hope this helps đ
If your parents let you do it then go for it! Youâre not too young.
Iâve always seen it as a person choice/opinion - if you donât like the body hair, remove it. But consult
Your parents/adult beforehand, and Definitely look into all the pros/cons of the different options, though, so you know what to expect. đ
I've never been waxed but I just ordered a waxing kit.. I hope it goes well đ
I did the same but it was very painful for me
My kit comes today so Iâll see it how it goes
could this wax be used for the bikini line or is it not strong enough? xx
I use it for my bikini area, works great! đđŒ
Whats the name of soft wax you use
Itâs linked in the description box!
I use Gigi wax and was hoping to see how the Gigi wax works. Iâll certainly try the brand she used one day itâs called Cirepil blue, but this tutorial should have been for Gigi wax since everything else was and there are differences in the 2 wax
I used the GiGi wax a long while ago and do NOT recommend it at all - it was very difficult to work with and painful to remove.
Is there a difference between different coloured waxes?
As far as I know, with this brand, it depends on the hair - how course or thin it is, and how sensitive or tough the area of skin that youâre waxing is
Can u use candle wax
No, you canât
I waxing one of my legs the best I could but it was too much effort so I left the other one but I waxed my moustache last night and just finished it and waxed my nose with tampons đ
Iâve never tried waxing my legs because I think I would get tired after the first leg đ€Ł
@@KatieMarie same I'm not doing it again maybe I'll go somewhere and get it done when things get a bit better
Is it ok to put magnolia oil on the skin before you wax it
Iâm not sure about that, I would research into it or ask a professional
@@KatieMarie thank you
Is this brand you're using good for sensitive skin?
It works well for mine, and I use it on my bikini area.
Wonderful Beauty Good Great Product

Could someone recommend a hard wax for bikini area? I usually do it with a professional but now they will be closed till March and I dont like to shave, I am thinking of trying by myself. The one that the professional uses seems more flexible that the one used in this video.
I would appreciate any recommendation. Thanks!
This is what i personally use for my bikini area, but Iâm sure there are other options/brands that would be good, too - I hope you get some other answers here đ
I actually have the same question. I'm going to try the other wax
I am way too chicken to wax! lol
Lol, well if you ever want to try, start with your arms - hands down the least painful, IMO đđŒ
I thought hard wax didnât work on fine hair like arms, legs, and face but apparently yes?
I use hard wax on both fine and thick hair -/ you can get a different formula of hard wax that works best on fine hair, but this blue wax (thatâs intended for course hair I believe) works nicely enough - I use it to remove peach fuzz off my face
My wax always cracks when I pull it off
That means youâre waiting too long before you pull it off - you want the wax to be cool but still have some warmth so itâs bendable and it comes off cleanly and not as painful (if itâs cracking, thatâs more painful to remove).
@@KatieMarie thank you so much for responding!! That is great to know, I tried pulling it off way sooner and it works way better! Thank you
Oh great, so glad to hear!
Ahh I tried waxing and made myself bleed đđ the skin wasnât removed it was coming out of my actual follicles đ
First time i made huge bruises on myself đ This is the cost of learning. Don't give up :)
@@palmakertesz8352 Aw thank you for the support đ itâs definitely a learning process lol
Why all GiGi products only? Except for the wax of course
I purchased them all in a set and am just using them up âșïž
Please answers questions
Just did đđŒ
I'm sure when my mum used a hot wax kit back in the 80s, she would put the wax strips back in to melt and reuse it... Is this not a good idea then?
I would imagine thatâs unsanitary, because the reused wax would be full of hair đ€·đ»ââïž
@@KatieMarie yeah, I agree!
I got 10x as much arm hair as you. Iâm Latina and have a lot of hair on my head so the hairiness goes for my arms and legs too. đ I didnât know they had numbing oil. If I ever start waxing myself Iâll be sure to buy everything you recommend.
Girl, I feel you! One nice perk of waxing is that over time, it helps thin out the regrown. Basically some follicles/pores get damaged from the hair removal and donât grow any hair anymore. So before I started waxing my arms they were TONS more thick/dense than they are these days. And considering all the places you can wax, the arms are the most low-key/painless IMO đ€
Katie Marie I didnât know that, thanks for the information! đ
can you do me too
