may be too painful, try sticking a piece of duct tape to your skin and

pulling it off quickly. Pretty much the same. I use Nair 15 second microwave

wax, and have had excellent results. Best of luck to you in your venture!

Duct tape!!!! Ouch. LOL. I think I will try the waxing. I just want to do

it the best way I can for my week 4 pics on the 14th. I would hate to have

bumps all over my body or red rash. So the wax is made by Nair. How much

would I need if I were to wax my body? Also, will it matter if I shave/wax

my lower arms? What is it that I am looking for? What makes the best pic

for EAS?

Waxing will probably be your best choice then. I have never had any rash or

bumps, but you may want to do a test strip a few days to week before just to

make sure. The amount would depend on how much body hair you have. I am

portuguese and indian, so I do tend to have more hair than most women (LOL),

but one tub of the wax goes a long way. Just remember to get a VERY thin

layer...too much and the results are not as good. If you have problems with

the pain, have someone else pull the strips off. Anyone can help you. Much

easier too. LOL

I personally wax my lower arms all of the time since I was blessed with very

thick dark hair on my arms. With my current tan...it really looks great! I

used to do quite a bit of weightlifting before (when I was younger), but

just started the EAS. Anytime you do pics, try and have a tan (real or fake)

and do the hair removal. This will emphasize more of your structure and make

it much more noticeable. One of the reasons they suggest it. Your pose will

do that too.

Best of luck to you , I hope this helps some.

Going to watch someone else doing it may help, but it is relatively easy.

Just remember to keep the layer of wax as thin as possible, and to hold the

skin taunt as you pull in the opposite direction of the hair growth. It may

be bit painful the first time or two, but then it gets relatively easy.

Much easier than tatoos or giving birth! LOL Both of which I have

experienced...waxing is a cinch! Best of luck, glad I could help.

Thank you very much. I have a good idea as to how to start this. It was

suggested to go to a salon for my first time and watch how they do it.

is going to come with me and watch too, as she will be the one helping me do

this when I do it on my own.

Peace,

If I were to wax, will my hair grow back? I mean I know that, or I should

say, I heard that if one were to wax, that the hair will grow back but it

will be finer and softer true?

The thing is that I like the hair on my body, even though I look so hard

without it now, but I also do not want to shave my body every so often. I

mean I hate the feel of the stubble. I would like to wax my body for the

pics, but I also want the hair back. However, I do not want the hair back

thicker or more of it. There is only one place I do not like hair and that

is on my back. I had very little, but once I started to shave it with a

razor, it comes back with revenge.

So bottom line it for me.....

I should get the Nair microwave wax right? Put it on very thin, and pull the

skin tight and pull it in the same direction as the hair is growing right?

Sorry to be a pain, but this seems to be a big deal for me to do, and if I am

going to do it the best posable way, then I want to do it right.

THANK YOU!!!!! =)

Great morning to you! Definately use the 15 second Nair Wax, that is the

best I have found. I have tried plenty too! Yes, put the wax on very thin in

the direction of the hair growth. Place the strip on top of the wax and rub

it on real good (same direction that hair is growing), then you want to hold

the skin taunt and pull the strip as quickly as possible in the opposite

direction of the hair growth. If you lived closer, I would come over and

teach your girlfriend the tricks of the trade, but that is a bit hard from

here! LOL You both will find that it is relatively simple. When I was still

married, my husband would do my legs for me in the back, there really is

nothing to it.

You hair will grow back, usually in about a month. It grows back finer and

softer than before, since it is ripped out at the root. One of the reasons I

love it so much. Using the razor method will cause your hair to grow back

thicker and much more sharper (so to speak) as it grows from the point where

it was cut at skins surface. That is why it looks so much thicker.

Really no problem for the questions. It is good to get as much information

as possible before just trying something new. If I can help out in any other

way, just let me know! It is a bit awkward just starting, but after a time

or two, you will get it down to a science. LOL

Have a wonderful day!
