Waxing Ouch Galore - with no results
By Mendoi on
MY STORYOne day, long long time ago, back in my early highschool days, my best friend and I decided to wax together for the very first time.We've both shaved before, but have tried nothing else at the time.My best friend's leg hair is super thick.My leg hair, on the other hand, is super thin.They were similar length though.Didn't think this would matter....We did her leg first.It was really.. really painful.But it worked.It was pretty cool to see a clean patch surrounded by this black jungle.Her mom even came in and said, "Ai yaaaaa" because it looked so furry.Okay, so I was all hyped up for my turn.Yeooooowwwwch.PAIN!!And nothing!!Nothing came off!!All my thin hairs still in tact!!THE GOODGood for thick hair.THE BADBad for thin hair.Bad for low pain thresholds.Painful for first time waxers.CONCLUSIONWill not purchase for myself, unless my hairs magically grow 5 times in width (but hopefully not).
I remember the pain! Never associated the fact that 'thin' hair was the issue though and have never tried waxing again although my daughter has and from what I saw & heard, they haven't improved their forumula yet for those who don't have 'jungle fur' :)
I used Nair strip-wax on my legs and regretted doing that because my leg hair look like they are stubble and has not completely grown since then and that was almost a year ago... Thanks for sharing the info...
