    Hair
    Hi
    This is kind of embarrassing to ask, but is there some way of removing pubic hair without having to shave it? Because it grows back the next day! And if I try to shave it away again it dose'nt work and cuts me instead :(
    Could you recommend anythink I can use?

    Try getting some wax at the chemist and doing it yourself, it hurts (it really hurts) but stops the re growth coming back so quickly. You can even get specific Brazilian kits to do it at home.

    Most hair salons and tanning places have bikini waxing,I don't recommend doing it yourself for a first time. It could be a disaster. Yes it DOES hurt, No doubt about it. But it will hurt much more if you don't have a professional do it.

    Waxing and sugaring are great ways to remove hair from the bikini area. These methods give a smooth surface and long lasting results. It doesn't irritate your skin the way shaving and depilatories creams do. The pain isn't all that bad, and you'll like the results. I agree with Stormy69, you shouldn't do it yourself. Try going to a salon and let a licensed professional do it for you. They will give you a standard bikini wax, or a Brazilian bikini wax, choose the one that's best for you.

    A regular bikini wax range from $30 to $50. It depends on the spa or salon you go to and the time involved.

    You can find waxing kits at the beauty supply store. Make sure you read the instructions on the package carefully before you use it.

    OK I'll have a look

    If you can't tolerate heated wax, opt for cold wax. Cold wax method removes the hair in the same manner as warm wax. When you apply the wax and strip on your skin, hold the skin taut with one hand, use the other hand to grasp the wax strip, and pull with one fast movement. "Pull off the strip against the direction of the hair growth."

    OK, is there any cold waxing kits you would recommend me using?
  • Jul 6, 2006, 11:24 AM

    Sweetie, the wax that you normally heat up in the microwave can be applied cold. Browse through the aisle at the beauty supply store and look for a waxing kit that's easy to use. Be sure to follow the directions you get with your waxing kit. If you still don't know how to use it, feel free to ask me more questions.

    Well waxing is the best... but I'm really shocked! Does it cost you $50 to get a bikini wax! In my country it costs around $5 ONLY! :o

    I'm not sure how much it costs here I'll have to enquire about it

    Waxing doesn't work for me... I always have hair left over too, even when done in a salon... you have to let the hair grow awhile before waxing seems to work... I stick with the old fashioned shaving!

    Yes I've gone back to shaving
    Because when I've used wax strips they don't remove the hairl right and leave some behind and it seems to be costing quite a lot that way and I don't want to go to the salon and the same thing happens as it will be a waste of money. I just did'nt want to shave anymore because the hair gows back the next day and it quite annoying having to shave everyday :(
