Here are some useful tips to bear in mind before grabbing the first wax strip.
Don't start DIYing right away.
I used to grimace a little bit in the salon, but I've discovered that my DIY approach is much less unpleasant. Granted, the hair isn't as thick as it was on my first visit since I've been waxing for longer. I'm glad I decided to start waxing in my bathroom, but I'd advise anybody to start with a professional or at the very least educate yourself on the proper methods. You'll learn how things are done and have to cope with somewhat less uncooperative hair when you get behind the wheel.
Purchase more strips.
You're going to need more strips than you think when using a roll-on wax. Ten strips are included in the package I use; however, they don't completely cover the surface. Thanks to Amazon reviewers, I've periodically cleaned the strips with sudsy water and reused them in a hurry, but I advise stockpiling up in advance.
Make sure the length of your leg hair is appropriate.
If the hair is cut too short, the wax won't be able to adhere to the hair. If you wait too long, it will hurt much worse. Your leg hair should be at least one-quarter inch long before waxing. To make this simple to remember, schedule your at-home waxing sessions about a month apart, just as you would for salon visits. Wax should typically last between three and four weeks, however everyone's pace of hair growth might differ. You may get more info from here.
The timing is not right for a hurried work.
I was the most cautious on my first run and then progressively became less so. Things become dirty when I'm rushing or not paying attention: I walked on a used strip (so filthy), bits fell sticky side down on the carpet, and I cracked my sink top. The lesson is to take your time.
Find a remedy that is simple to wash off.
I have greater control over the waxing mixture when I conduct my leg waxing at home, which is a benefit. When purchasing advises taking your skin type and waxing requirements into account. Strip wax is often used on bigger sections of the body, while hard wax is milder and may be used on facial hair, the bikini area, or armpits. Both types of wax are available for home use.
