My friend said because of waxing her legs go all purple in p.e?

Question

In p.e my friend's legs get all purple everywhere when she's in shorts and running around in p.e. she says this happens because she waxes. is thia true?? i want to start waxing instead of shaving to have smoother legs for longer, but what could happen?

Answer 1

It is a room temperature or circulaton problem, not waxing.

Answer 2

I have never heard of someone's legs turning purple after waxing. If your friend's legs are purple after she waxes, then maybe she's not doing it properly. Sounds to me like she's burning or bruising herself somehow.
What waxing does is pull the leg hairs out by the roots. It's painful, can damage the pores and cause ingrown hairs.

Answer 3

so her legs are purple because shes thin (am i right) when you are really thin you dont circulate the same and you turn purple
i get purple legs, and hands and feet in gym, and ive never waxed.

Answer 4

Waxing always made my hairs ingrow. No purple, just bumps.

Answer 5

i think shes allergic to it. she should've tried it on a smaller spot

Answer 6

i don't think that's normal for her to turn purple....
