Advice from The First Lady of Fitness, Fashion, and Fun and Pittsburgh personal trainer and lifestyle coach, Jackie Omotalade:
Summer is rapidly approaching, which means that many of you will be heading to the beach or the pool. We all know that hair sticking out of the pubic area is not cute or sexy AND is considered by some to be down right gross!
Prices for a bikini wax can range from $50 dollars up to a couple hundred dollars and lets face it ladies, in a tight economy, many of us just can’t afford this bi-monthly expense.
I guarantee that with a little practice and these helpful tips you can wax your bikini line as fast and a smooth as the professionals!
First, invest in a waxing kit. I recommend Gigi Mini Professional Kit #140
Do not over apply hot wax, because it can burn the skin! Before applying the wax, trips the hairs to the length of a grain of rice (anything longer will be too messy and painful). I recommend the Bikini Hair Remover Trimmer Shaver – AS SEEN ON TV
Do not wash the area before waxing. Your natural body oils act as a protective barrier.
Hold skin taut with one hand, then quickly pull off the strip with the other hand in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Rub off any residue with olive oil; it dissolves wax.
