Re: help with underarm waxing??????

I can't do them myself either, but I noticed the lady who does it for me.. she does it in small patches instead of doing it in large due to the different directions of hair.
Try doing it that way, it might work..

It depends on what wax you're using. Don't try toclean the area with water or any liquid before waxing, ifthe hair are too small then you'd find it hard to remove them so in this scenario pluck them out.

Re: help with underarm waxing??????

ok, I think I have become a sort of expert on underarm waxing (I do it for myself, and all my cousins!). If you look carefully at the hair, it grows in 2 different directions. The top of the underarm, the hair grows upwards, so you have to apply the wax upward (start from the middle of the armpit, and apply the wax going up), then apply the strip firmly, and pull downwards really fast, but try to stay close to your underarm when your pulling, dont pull away from your body, just down. and then for the bottom of your underarm, the hair grows downward, so apply the wax from the middle of the underarm, downwards, then apply the strip firmly, and pull up, staying close the body. If there are a few hairs left over here and there, put some wax on your fingers, and pull them out.

Re: help with underarm waxing??????

u can do it in bits.the wax used for underarms should be a little thicker as compared to the wax used for arms and legs .the pose also matters as it is a little difficult doing it alone since the skin can't be stretched properly .raise ur arm high as posible to make it stretch and then give ur arm an angel to make the skin max stretch
and also the instructions given by samiba33

^ yes, she is right, put your arm straight in the air, and then you can bend it at the elbow, so it rests on your head. This will keep the skin tight, and make it easier to pull.

Re: help with underarm waxing??????

Go for hair removing creams .. I guess that works wonders ... If u hve difficulty in waxing n pain in epilator , then go for cream rather than for razor.

I wont suggest u to use razor for ur underarms ..
