Leg Waxing

when I was back in high school, which was quite a while ago I must admit, I thought that I could handle doing my own leg waxing. I was a little foolish back then.

I was a pretty bright kid and the waxing kits were sold at the stores, so I assumed it would be a real no brainer. I was wrong. Everything started out fine, but as I got deeper into the self leg waxing, the pain was making me scream. I ended up in a whole lot of pain and with only half of a waxed leg.

I called those who had said I should be able to do it without a problem, and they all laughed and told me that they wouldn't be trying it for themselves. I decided at that moment that in future I would leave the leg waxing to the professionals.

To a high school or college aged girl, leg waxing does seem like it costs a lot of money, but if you really break it down, it is less expensive to get your legs waxed in a salon, than it is to purchase razors every so many weeks. The actual pricing depends on the type and location of the salon or spa you go to. Keep in mind that leg waxing does last up to six weeks and the more often you have it done, the finer your hair will be when it grows back in, and the less often you will need to have it done. So even though the initial cost may seem a little high, you may end up saving money in the long run. Not forgetting the pain you will spare yourself, which to me is priceless.

Leg waxing performed by a professional is usually done with hot wax that is spread or brushed onto your legs. A sheet is then applied and pressed down onto the wax, then quickly ripped off, bringing your hairs with it. I must admit that the first few times this happens it hurts like hell, but after a while, you get past the initial pain and it really is not that bad.

Once you have got used to having your legs waxed and are feeling a bit more adventurous you can move onto bikini waxing. That area of skin where the hairs are removed from is much more sensitive, so the pain factor is a lot higher. Once you have mastered this, if you want to be really trendy, you can move on to the Brazilian Wax. This will leave your nether regions completely hairless - and you can put money on it hurting.

If you want my advice, if you really want to be like Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton, then go and buy a dog or a designer cell phone. It is certainly less painful. If it were me, I would stick to leg waxing and  skip the Brazilian waxing, even if a professional was doing it.
