waxing is suitable for all types of hair... what's important is that it's at least 1/4 inches long   
- apply powder on the area to be waxed so that excess oil will be absorbed & it also serves as a protection - so that the wax adheres to the hair & not to your skin
- do exfoliate regularly (at least once a week - i use abonne spa milk salt scrub)... this prevents ingrown hair
- apply the wax the same way the hair grows... then pull it off in the opposite direction
- you may opt to apply aloe based products after waxing to soothe your skin

Epilin and strip it pa lang nagagamit ko na pang wax. May ibang brands ba kayo na ma- rerevommend na better than these two? Thanks!

[pretty_in_victorian]

i wax my underarms on my own kasi kaya ko naman.. di ko pa nattry yung local brands of wax.. nagpapabili ako sa tita ko at pinapadala lang nya.. pero it's basically the same stuff strip it is made of i think.. san ba ako makakabili ng waxing strips na reusable? i read somewhere that they used strips of cloth that they used for jeans or something like that something fabric..

pwde ba gumamit ng plastic spatula instead of wooden spatula, naitapon kasi yung wooden spatula ko. hay.

[pretty_in_victorian]

^ i guess provided hindi sobrang init nung wax kasi matutunaw din sya.. what i use are popsicle sticks na matataba.. siguro 1 1/2" yun.. idk why we have those prolly from a project my younger cousin did..

[graezieylicious]

^mag spread din kaya yung wax sa area or skin pag plastic gamit ko?

[summerchic]

Sa mga naka try na mga sis magpa wax like sa laybare and etc..san ang pinaka mejo less ang pain? I want to try kasi and afraid akech.

@pretty_in_victorian wax strips could be bought at dept. stores like landmark/watsons etc.... epelling yung brand ng strip & it's around P30/pack 


@graezieylicious you may use popsicle sticks medyo mahirap kasi bumili ng medyo mataba like tongue depressor sticks... wholesale sa mercury drug


@summerchic we have different pain thresholds... but pain is really really tolerable  kala ko din dati masakit... pero nung ginawa ko ok lang naman siya...

[pretty_in_victorian]

^ those are disposable. gusto ko sana yung reusable.. yun yung gamit ko ngayon.. yung epillin na strips..

[brattinella]

^yup yup! epellin has reusable cloth but it's expensive... you may want to use 'katsa' instead

I'm looking for local suppliers or sellers of those non-strip waxes like those used in LayBare. So far I have seen only one seller on Sulit (not NanayEarth--sobrang soft). Ok naman sya. ANyone know any other sellers and who have actually tried their product?

[hello29]

sis i tried yung wax na nabasa ko lang din dito, Strip Tease sya, http://stripteaseit.com/strip-tease-cold-wax so far so good sa akin, tska effective, unlike nung binili ko dati sa watsons hehe bumili lang ako sa reseller na taga libis at gang ngayon half pa ng container yung laman :-)

dati i bought reusable strips sa tbs. kaso super duper tagal na yun. cheaper option is to buy a piece of katcha/canvass tapos gupit gupitin mo nalang into strips.

i had my legs waxed sa laybare more than a week ago. nag-try lang ako. first time. kasi kala ko pwede ulitin agad. 2-3 months pa daw dapat. kaya lang may lakad ako on nov 24th. medyo tubo na sya that time. parang ang panget naman ...

[brattinella]

^pwede naman sis as long as the length of the hair is around 1/4 inch

sissy, pwede ba to sa mga buntis? gusto ko kasi to itry eh kasi feeling ko lalo akong naging hairy ngayon, as in parang kumapal lalo. kaya lang alanganin ako kasi baka hindi to advisable sa pregyy. thanks!

[pixiedust]

^i think pwede naman. meron na nagmention nun dito before. tapos the last time nagpa threading ako sa laybare, may nakasabay ako na preggy. papa bw siya kasi due na siya anytime. natatakot nga yung isang technician kasi baka daw biglang manganak dun. lol

nag DIY na ako ngayon, Sally Hansen ang gamit ko, sabi nga ng isa sa mga sisses natin dito na nagcomment sa blog ko nakaka-addict ang sakit hehe. Kuntento naman ako kasi very easy to use and not messy.
