How can you do a Brazilian wax yourself?

I use to go to have Brazilians done every month, but I just don't have the money I use to. So I want to start doing it myself. Does anyone have any tips on what wax to use, where to get it, or anything would be great.


Thanks!


No pervs, please.How can you do a Brazilian wax yourself?
I've investigated this very same thing myself. I asked a lot of people, who all basically shot me down saying the only way to safely and tolerably do a brazillian wax is to get it done by a professional.





However I did some more research on the internet about a way to pull hair out using a technique called body sugaring. You basically make a sticky paste out of sugar, water and lemon juice thats been boiled for almost 30 minutes until it turns really dark... almost black. Then you let it cool completely until its hard and take a spoonful and form it into a little ball in your hand. Then you smear it onto the patch of hair in the opposite direction of how your hair grows and yank it off quickly in the same direction the hair grows. You just keep doing it all over the bikini area until its clear and you can pluck strays with tweezers.





The great thing about it is that you do a tiny area at a time, so you have total control over what you're doing. Its super cheap to make the paste and you pretty much have enough to last you like 5 times. Also you don't have to deal with getting burned from hot wax and its not as messy. If the sugar paste gets stuck to your skin/hair you can just hop in the shower and wash it off. It comes off easily with warm water. You also pull it off in the direction the hair grows so supposedly it doesn't hurt as bad. (Take that with a grain of salt though.. its still hurts like a B, especially since you're doing it to yourself)





Get a mirror and angle it on the floor so you can see well enough to do the backside. Oh and do NOT forget to get some lidocaine spray, to spray over your bikini area before you start. Because you will DIE if you don't. Pull the skin tight before you pull, that will help with the pain too.
