lostinrates thats very sensible. And from the fuss I'm making you'd think I was going clubbin in Eyebeefa rather than a sedate family hol in a Spanish backwater!!!! Truth is wont the waxing at home hurt?

Then, yes, I'd have a haircut on return...extend the relax/spoiling.

Yes, it will hurt, a bit.

I find underarms and bikini line hurt mostand rope my hsband in to do them. When there was no DH my sister and I waxed each other

Oh my lord. I'm too old for all that. I dont want my bits to look like a handbag with its lining hanging out :rotfl:

And yeah the Tiffany should have Swarovski crystals in a heart design, or spelling the word *idiot* glued on. Bet theres a WAG or two that actually has that done :rolleyes:

Lol! A short back and sides is easy to do (just pull the strip the way I said)

Lol! I remember when having little lovehearts and other such shapes shaved/waxed was in fashion - and one of the recent magazines I got in had an article on muff dyes

IMO i would stick with it. I dont have it done anymore professionally because i can't afford it. but when i compare it to shaving or using hair removal creams the results just arent as good for me as waxing which just leaves you feeling so smooth. i do remember the first time i had it done and it hurt like a :eek: lol especially cos i had thick coarse hair, but the more i had it done the quicker it got and the lady who done it commented on how easy the hair was comming out in a short period of time. i just think for the end result those nit gritty bits are just about bearable. but i no its not for everyone, so hope you'll find something you'll be happy with.

freya thats so cool your able to wax yourself.

I've had "normal" bikini waxes before and they are ok but i thought i'd go for a honeymoon/brazilian. BUT it hasn't been very smooth for very long - lots of snapping off rather than pulling out the roots. and i'm n ot even that hairy really.
i've been to 2 different people if the 2nd had better/longer lasting results.

and while i'm here what's the best thing to exfoliate with to prevent ingrowing hairs?

I can see your dilemma. I was wondering tho when you have ur waxing done whether they use hot wax instead of the warm wax and strips. the hot wax is said to open up the follicles and the warmth soothes the pain, so it helps removing the hair right from the root and prevents the likelihood of breakages. the lady i would see used this method.

i was told as far as exfoliating is that as long as its gritty in texture and a body exfoliater/scrub then its up to you what you use. i got mine from asda's own brand but also have used st ives when superdrug had an offer on.

also because i have had a problem with ingrown hairs i use boots own ingrown hair minimiser in chamomile and honey.
