I'm not worried about the cost, she works for lunch! lol It's been 5 days, it doesn't hurt anymore and nothing's grown back yet. I did tweeze a few, but I don't think those were even grabbed by the wax. I pretty much BATHED in Tend Skin, so the ingrowns are history lol I couldn't stand Bikini zone, it had a funky smell and burned like hell. Thanks for the input ladies! |

Definitely give it a whirl. You could also start off by getting just waxed on your bikini line and the next appointment have her go in a little closer and closer in subsequent visit until you get comfortable. Just a suggestion

I wish I could get it done this week though but Aunt Flow is staying with me for a visit. But I really do want to do it. |

Someone recently posted that you should shave with neosporin as it will give you a close shave and halt ingrown hairs and bumps.

this thread was just too hilarious!! but now im actually thinking of giving it a try as well, Thx ladies
I just did it 3 days ago. It's my 2nd time but the 1st was several years ago. I'm still recovering. I got lots of bumps, some with little white heads on them. Normal??? I have dark, thick wavy hair. Anyway, I've been using TEND SKIN religiously. It seems to be getting better. When ya'll talk about exfoliating, what do you use??
Some may find this repulsive, but the area between my cheeks is soooo much more attractive now! It's a big confidence booster!

Personnaly, I do it myself at home and I love it. I wax all my bikini so I don't have any hair when it is done for like 2-3 weeks. I do not wait 4-5 weeks to wax them because I just don't like it. When I see that some of my hair are long enough to wax them, i do it! And for the ladies who are afraid of the pain. This is only the first time that is really painful but after, it is nuts. Recommandation for the one who are gonna try it at home. Wash yourself and put some body cream. Wait maybe 15 to 30 minutes and start waxing. It will be less painful. And choose some water soluble wax.

Oh it's not that bad. I just -jump up and down- to prep my self and then rrrrriiiiiipppp! that sucker off. I only do my bikini line myself.
To help with the "whiteheads" that emerge after waxing, just exfoliate softly with a warm washcloth. I actually find that most are just irritated hair folicles or folicles with new hairs growing back in. Exfoliate softly...

waxing is the greatest! i just got my first brazilian the other day and I'm in love w/the results. I haven't had any in growns and it's been 5 days. I exfoiliate and use these bikini zone ingrown hair pads and voila no problems.

LMAO!!! that movie is the best, i am sure that we have all been there once.
if you find that the pain is a bit to much, i know this is gonna sound weird, lol but try chewing on a paddlepop stick (one of the sticks that they spread the wax with lol a clean one) this will prevent you from causing any damage or chipping to your teeth if you tend to clench to hard
ingrown hairs are not uncommon, regular exfoliating always helps before and after waxing, not to sure if they are available round your parts but dermalogica have a fantastic exfoliating cloth (lol its the best investment youll ever make)
if you are thinking about keeping your waxing regime a permanent thing, you will find that at first you will be making your appointments every 4 weeks and then before you know it you'll be going every 6 weeks - but your therapist should let you know what time frames are best.
hope this helps

I've heard 3 weeks, I've heard 6 weeks, I know it depends on the person and their hair type, but I just kinda wanna determine an estimate for myself. And holy cow! Did it hurt for you? Cuz I felt like Steve Carrell in the 40-Year-Old Virgin lmao |

I had my 2nd one last week. A lot less pain, and a lot less hair to wax. I think this could be a regular thing for me.
