Hiya girlies, just wanted some advice about waxing... how long after shaving your legs should you leave it before you wax?

to get the best affect from waxing leave your hair to grow about 1cm in length, sounds gross but is the most effective

be sure to use a tape measure to check that each hair IS 1cm, not 1.1 or 0.9cm

are you sure it's a good idea to be waxing in winter?:tongue: It'll be a bit painful! The best thing to do is exfoiliate because you're skin gets very dry, especially at this time of year.

no it aint :tongue:
1cm is! you should wax when the hair length is about 3mm. just so its long enough to stick to the wax and come off cleanly.
Look, if you've always been shaving then it'll probably hurt like hell when you wax, best thing is to exfoliate with sugar before and use those really hot waxes not the roll-on type
Thanks :biggrin:

Reason I ask is cause I'm doing a lifeguarding course soon so I'll be in the pool everyday and can't be arsed to shave my legs that often lol

Danke for the advice :smile:

the longer the hair on your legs is before you wax it the better the results will be. but yes exfoliate first. learned that one the hard way, ouch.
