Hi all of you out there, I am going to talk something which is definitely going to please you all, I am talking about a method of “painless waxing”. Sounds interesting isnt it? While I was going through this blog and the replies, all I could make out is all you women prefer waxing as the primary hair removal method but then have to sustain the pain associated with that!! I thought how about devicing a method which will have all the benifits of waxing and absolute zero pain… So here it goes

In soccer or rugby matches, if a player gets injured the physio immediately take out a spray called as “magic spray” and sprays it on to the injured area, which provides temporary anesthesia and the player is back on the field again… He no longer feels the pain of the injury…

Now we shall use precisely this technique for painless waxing. You can simply purchase this spray which is readily available in the market. Apply the spary on your legs, arms, underarms whereever you want to wax. Just wait for 5 minutes. That area will become completely insensitive (temporary anesthesia). and then carry out your normal waxing. Since that area is insensitive, you wont feel absoltely any pain at all!!!!
After some time the sensation will be restored in the area…..

I hope this technique will help you all for painless waxing……So enjoy your waxings henceforth..
Cheers….

AM,

If you want to get your eyebrows threaded, there is a salon called Rozina’s in Venice that is completely run by Inidan women with fantastic eyebrwos and they charge $5. If that is too far, then there is another spot in Hollywood at the back of a beauty supply store run also by an Indian woman called Rubindra 323-463-2274 who charges $10. Unfortunately, she is going to India for a month in the first week of April so you will have to hurry up to get an appt. Hope that helps.

p.s. Ladies, even though Magic Shave is for the face, it works perfectly fine all over the body and it is cheap too compared to other depillatory creams. All the drugstores carry it, and it is usually stocked in the men’s shaving section right often next to the just for men beard dye.

I am one of your readers who appreciates this post. I am going to look into the Magic Shave option for underarms. I tried waxing my own arm pits and it hurt and I could not get everything. Right now I am shaving everywhere except the face and I thought that dark armpits was just the way it was going to be for me. Now I know I need to exfoliate and try a different deodorant. I appreciate all the tips here. I am Muslim and I wanted to share that part of hygeine care for Muslim men and women is to remove their pubic hair. I have not ever tried a waxing salon, though because mostly I am just to shy, but I am considering it more and more.

I shaved when I was younger…not the best for the underarms, dang it! To lessen the darkness under there, I decided to try Nair for a while, but the hair grew back too quickly and the stubble was too apparent. Since that failed, I thought I’d tried waxing. I liked the results. I used to go to a nail/waxing place to wax my underarms and legs. To save money, I decided to do it myself and it works great! It takes some practice, but Nads works great for me. I like to use the Sangria Punch Nads. I buy the epilating strips from the beauty supply store to use with it. I would prefer to have a professional do it, but to save money I do it myself. Queen Bee Waxing sounds interesting… I think I’ll check it out! For my upper lip, I use Surgi-Cream depilatory. It works great and the results last a long time – just don’t leave it on too long! My next challenge is the bikini area…that’s a work in progress! The do-it-yourself method is a bit difficult down there!
