I've never waxed my legs before always shaved them?

Question

Does it really hurt? and how long does it really last before you feel stubble?

Answer 1

Once you start waxing you will never go back to shaving, keep it up at regular intervals and you will get hardly any hair grow back its the best thing i ever done, legs, bikini line (brazilian), under arms and arms i am silky smooth now, try it first time does hurt but it does get easier the more you have it done

Answer 2

A) It isn't too bad pain wise. My ankles are generally the sorest part.

B) You are best to go a couple of times to feel the real benefits, as small hairs won't be taken out the first time. Also, how long it lasts really depends on the person. One of my friends can go for 6/7 weeks without anything, whereas I normally am stubble-free for 3/4 weeks or so.

Answer 3

Well waxing does hurt a bit, for such a small moment tough...
You could try having them waxed by a professional if you dont want the mess... It can be messy.
It usually takes 4 to 6 weeks to grow back. But the good news less and less hair will grow back. The downside is you have to let it grow a bit in order to be able to wax them properly the next time.
Nads is very good.
If you follow the instructions very carefully it should be less painfull. You willhave to use baby oil to remove the remnant wax, then wash with a soft soap and rinse well, then you should use a quality body moisturiser.
Its worth the try.

Answer 4

A. DO NOT DO IT WITH A HOME KIT, I had bruises all over my legs and hardly any hair was gone.
B. let the hair grow out for 4 weeks before you do it, otherwise it won't last as long.
C. It takes about 4 weeks for the hair to grow long enough to wax again, but it is soft when it does. not prickley
D. My upper legs take 2x longer to grow in as my lower.
E. I prefer sugaring to waxing
F. well worth the cost only really hurts me at the ankles

Answer 5

It hurts a bit, kinda like plucking your eyebrows. I would suggest you go get a professional job done with hot wx and this is much less painful than the do it yourself version cold strips its all to do with which way the pull the hair out. On the up side it lasts for about 6 weeks as you pull the hair down to the roots out and the more you do it over a period of time your hair becomes thinner and takes longer to grow so fewer trips.

Answer 6

well it does hurt but it's way better then shaving even if shaving doesn't hurt coz if u shave a lot u get more hair and u get ingrows like hair starts to grow from under ur skin whch bad coz then hair grows way faster and even if u shve it seems like u din't shave it's like when men they shave thier moustache and thye still have tiny hair on thier well those hair are growing from under thier skin so u shouldn't shave a lot but waxing might hurt a lil bit but it's worth it coz first ur legs feel way smoother then if u shave and the hair deosn't grow until like 3 weeks and waxing emoves the hair from the tips so u get a more smooth legs and it takes time tillthe ahir can grow back and when they do grow back they are thin and not thck like shaving so wax is better even if it hurts and sometimes shaving gives u razor cut too so yea wax is way better

Answer 7

Shaving is dangerous! I know, I slipped in the shower while doing my legs, took a good layer of skin off that any good plastic surgeon could have used for a graft! That was three weeks ago and still not healed, and bloody sore! Thinking about changing...

Answer 8

It only hurts (a little bit) for a ,couple of seconds ,and well worth it,the only problem is you have to grow the hair for it to work ,so bit hairy for 2 weeks,after youve had it done a few times you get less hair growing back ,it lasts about 4-5 weeks.I have my under arms done too,and eyebrows.

Answer 9

Well you have to let it grow quite a bit before you wax. So if you don't mind being hairy for a while it's good but I prefer to be hair free and shave as soon as hairs appear....not as smooth but smoothish all the time.
As far as pain ..it hurts first time but a bit like plucking your brows....you get used to it.

Answer 10

Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods.
Waxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful.
Electrolysis and laser hair removal are "permanent" hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged.
