How to wax your armpits yourself at home

I've had my underarms waxed by other people but this is the first attempt to do it myself at home. A friend suggested I try a hard wax that you don't need the cloth woven strips for and this is my results.

you just need enuf hair for the wax to adhere to maybe about 1/8 of an inch.. satin smooth makes a good after wax cream that prevents ingrown hairs and make sure to clean the area with soapy water or astringent b4 waxing

Do you have tips on how to prevent ingrown hair? And how long do you have to grow out your hair, until you wax again?

Is there any downside of waxing? Do you think that it is a good idea to wax pubic hair by yourself at home? I need some advice, please.

Oh and by the way, I love how you talk. You're very confident I can tell : )

@imover18sostfu I find waxing a lot more beneficial than shaving, last longer and grows back less and less over time... If you plan on waxing down south, I would start with your bikini line and practise b4 you go for the full bald eagle

i guess waxing is better than shaving? :)

@jesseisdamncute The first and second time it bleeds but after that I guess it gets used to it and stops. Ocasionally u will get a blood point but not much. Also it doesn't hurt as much as the first time.

is it easier to pull off the hair with hard wax rather than wax strips?I waxed for the first time using wax strips and I bleed.is that normal?

[jesseisdamncute]

Thank you for doing this. It must have been a little awkward. But I feel a lot better about waxing my armpits now.

you could take off the wax with baby oil :)

is this way better than using strips? and does it pull the hairs out from the roots? x
