Idid one myself this morning with melted wax. OMG it was hot! Was i supposed to let it cool down first? Anyway i waxed away, but only half of the hair came off. So i read the leaflet and it says shorter hairs may not come off and to pluck them! Agony! I wouldn't recommend waxing or plucking your pubes!! :shocking:

I've made the mistake of trying to wax my bikini line at home and it was a disaster. So painful and like you, all the hair didn't come out. Also I'm just not brave enough to put myself through the pain. I always go to a salon now.
Id like to but 1. think id get ingrown hairs, and 2. think it must be incredibly embarrassing.
You'd think so, wouldn't you?! :crazyeyes
Going for a leg wax in a week, not too worried now as the lady seemed lovely who was talking to me about doing it and that put me at ease.
Does waxing tend to leave you with ingrown hairs then? I sort of thought that it left you with less than a shave would? I'm a bit clueless to be honest. Was going to ask the lady when i went to get my legs done.
Wow i want some!
Lucky! Sorry to kind of wander off the subject but, do ingrow hairs (like the red/purplely colour) disappear after a while? Cuz for some reason I have quite a few and it looks kinda awful!
One either side.
I'm too lazy to read through everyone else's post but for me, I have been getting brazilian waxes(sp?) for a few years. It is the most painful thing in the world. (but im kinda a wuss). It's definetly worth it. I'd suggest (if you dont already) to start shaving before you consider getting a brazilian bikini wax (the whole thing off). Where they wax just for a bikini wax didnt hurt at all for me but as she got closer to the middle, it hurt like a bitch. It was awkward at first but after going there so much, I got comfortable (they see so many crotches a day that yours is just one more-thats the way i look at it).But i hated wearing the paper undies. She gave me a choice first if i wanted to wear my own panties or wear the paper ones.
The last wax I got, was about 2 hours before I went to The Used concert (and no i didnt get it because i thought I'd pull one of them ) but my waxer lost track of time so i didnt have any time left to go home and wash the wax off. So I went to the concert with a sticky crotch. (it was bearable though)
I think it all depends on the person. Some peole get them, even with waxing or shaving and some dont. I got them but it wasnt as bad when i waxed myself. I think it's best to let the professionals handle that.
Not sure how good my eyebrows look, not used to seeing me with groomed brows to be honest. Usually look like one of sesame street
