Make the hair wet prior to waxing. Hair absorbs the water making it soft and less likely to adhere well to the wax. Tough hair is easier to pull off.
Make sure to test a small area of skin first to make sure there is no acute sensitivity or allergic reaction to pubic hair removal using waxing.
Hair should be at least 1/8 inch long. If it isn’t wait until it reaches this length.
Wash the skin thoroughly and dry it well beforehand to remove any lotions or oils which may prevent the wax from adhering closely to the skin.
Heat the wax carefully so as not to overheat and thus burn the skin when applying. Test on a small area first.
The consistency should be soft rather than runny.
If pain and discomfort is a main concern use a pain reducing gel or cream available from pharmacists. These solutions should be applied 30 to 60 minutes before waxing so the skin is numbed beforehand.
Apply a thin layer of wax in the direction of the hair growth and peel back with a rapid movement close to the skin.
Do not pull up or out, rather pull back.
Clean the skin with a warm moist towel afterwards to remove excess wax.
Avoid wearing tight clothing over freshly waxed areas to minimize the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs. 24-48 hours after pubic hair removal waxing, exfoliate the skin (with a Loofa sponge for example) to prevent the dead skin from accumulating and causing hair to become ingrown.
