It seems like it should be, what with the ripping out of hair and all.
But I was ready for anything.
Plus in preparation for the big event I had not shaved my legs in a couple of weeks. I was hoping to get some great 'before' pictures, but I'll be honest and say I don't have any. My legs don't actually get super hairy and what hair they do get is so light that you can hardly even see it, so it was basically impossible to get a good photo. You will just have to take my word for it that my legs were indeed a tiny forest.
So, armed with super hairy legs, I headed off to get...
WAXED!
Yes, I can honestly say I have never had anything waxed before. And it's not because I think it's going to hurt, it's more the fact that I don't tend to get very hairy so I never saw a huge need for it. But of course I was curious, so I had to try it at least once!
I'm also lucky enough to have a friend who is an expert at this sort of thing! Her name is Helen and she has her own part-time business called Mi Casa Esthetics. She was thoroughly impressed by the fact that I have never waxed anything before and thinks that my hairless legs should last for quite a while since I am a 'newbie'.
For those of you who have never taken the plunge - here's a breakdown for you. First Helen applied this special blue liquid to my leg which is supposed to help your hair come out easier. Next she spread the hot wax on the front of my leg, applied the strip and pulled. This was also the part where I was supposed to say 'ouch' but in truth I didn't find it to be all that painful (but then I was only doing my legs and not more sensitive areas).
She did the tops of both legs, then the knees, then the backs of my legs. And after she was done she put some moisturizing oil on them. Pretty quick and pretty simple.
And can I just say wow, do my legs ever feel smooth! (again, you will just have to take my word for it) I wonder just how long they will stay this way. Any guesses as to how many days of smoothness I have ahead of me?
