Who doesn't like a little DIY?
Well I have finally come to the realisation some things should just be left to the experts.
And one of these somethings is hair waxing!
No matter what wax I try or how good my technique could be it always ends the same.... and its not the outcome I am after!
I went professional about three years ago and though the service can differ between beauticians I have been consistently. But on occasion I have tried it myself and after just having a baby, being time poor and not wanting to share my body with anyone at the moment, thought I would again give it a go.
After doing so I have concluded three good reasons why I should not try this again...
NUMBER 1
It is always messy.
No matter how I go about it or what I try, its a messy job. There can be interruptions, or spillages or bad technique - whatever it may be ITS MESSY
NUMBER 2
It is dangerous.
You can be severely burned (and not realise it till the bright red patch starts to peel!)
The wax may seem the right temperature in one spot of the pot but its boiling in another spot. And then it cools too quickly or you peel before its the right time and instead of clean coming away it pulls the skin - OUCH
NUMBER 2 and a Half
You never get all the hairs.
There is always a patch you miss.
NUMBER 3
Technique used (or lack there of) can have serious effect on regrowth
including causing ingrown hairs.
So not only was it a bad messy patchy job, but it continues to haunt you when you have sore ingrown hairs.
Book it in - leave that wax pot on the shelf - those advertisements of ease and beauty after doing it yourself are lies!!
