I got burned yesterday – I was waxing and I didnt test the wax if it was cool enough – that thing left my armpits really red! I think I scalded my skin! (No deodorants for me for one week!). Ugh, this is so frustrating! Why do women need to do all the girly stuff – waxing, threading, plucking, giving birth! and we are still branded sissies. Wax a man and you will know what a sissy is, LOL. Waxing has been my thing ever since. Shaving is an emergency route when I need to get things done fast, but I have to admit, waxing is very very tedious, painful and ..messy! I would save up for a permanent hair removal session if given the chance. I had inquired about laser removal and that thing can cost Matthew’s tuition for a year! So, I think having it lasered will have to wait until he finishes college, LOL. I went with waxing after my cousin encouraged me to try it since it helps get the hair “fine” and the regrowth is 3 to 4 weeks. If you have been shaving for a while now, the hair gets coarse and there will be more chances for ingrown hair. Waxing prevents that. Of course, there are different wax treatments available. I tried the cold wax strips, nope, didnt do me any good, it left a lot of hair and I had to was three to four times, leaving my skin beetle red! So we use the wax you need to melt and do it the traditional way. Word of caution though! You must not pour it hot or else you will burn yourself – and burnt skin will look dark in time! When I didnt have time for waxing, I used lotions and creams, but they were nasty to me, they dont take the hair from the root, leaving my hairs cut off at the middle, so that they all shot upwards, eeek, totally not smooth. Shaving is good if you need fast results, but you need to be prepared to do it every other day – which is not really a problem since you can do it in five minutes together in the shower. The best thing would still be having it permanently removed – and that still remains to be part of my wishlist!!!
