Waxing?

Try to fine some who use only hard wax no strips involved. You have to make sure you exfoliation as well and as least have a after wax serum. Another think waxing you have to be consistent if you stop once an don’t keep going it’ll hurt like the first time every-time. I love it your hair will get thinner over time and you’ll get lighter down if you have discoloration.

I highly recommend European Wax Center! They're very skilled, have locations all over, and use great wax. You need to start early enough to get through a few visits before your honeymoon and go consistently or else it won't be worth it. When you call they should be able to help you figure out timing.

View Quoted Comment Thank you, Alythea! Consistancy is key, got it! 😊😊

I've been waxing monthly for years. It's really not that painful once you get used to the feeling, but the first few times can be rough. I definitely recommend trying it for the first time well before your wedding to make sure you respond well to it. Like for example, my legs get really red and they stay red for about 24 hours after I get waxed. They also feel extremely sensitive to the touch, and the pores will be open that day too (meaning, you really want to wear something like leggings or yoga pants that are soft on your sensitive legs, but also provide coverage of your legs so the pores won't get infected).

So just do it once to see how you respond to it. Also to see how long it lasts for you. I have pretty fast-growing hair so for me it looks perfect during week 1, mostly perfect during week 2 (there will be some patches by then but only if you look closely), eh by week 3 (like you can see some hair but it's not bad), and then i need to get it done again by week 4.

I did my waxing on Thursday before my Sunday wedding because I knew I'd be red on Friday and then good by our rehearsal dinner on Saturday

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much for the insight, Gen! I'm going to get on a schedule at least a couple months before the wedding. 😊

Good luck! I find it's much less painful also if you're distracted. I've known my wax lady for years so usually I'll just chat with her and that's distracting enough, but if not then if you even have a mindless game or something to watch on your phone that can help. Like if you just lay there thinking about it, it's going to hurt a lot more than if you can take your mind off it haha.

Have you thought about laser? It’s pricier, but worth it to me. I am hairless (except on my head) for over a year, and only my bikini area grew very very little new peach hair. Not only hairless, but my armpits and bikini area are so light and soft now. No redness, no ingrown. Just like a baby 😉

View Quoted Comment 😂😂😂 candy crush for the win, I guess!!

View Quoted Comment Hmmm maybe? I'll have to get FH to weigh in on that LOL

European Wax Center is one the best. They have multiple “wax passes” and locations all over so you’ll always be able to find one. I’d wax the day before or that morning if you can. Once you start waxing you’ll never go back to shaving. It is a totally different feel, last so much longer and was much gentler in my skin. I would also recommend getting their exfoliant and their ingrown hair serum. They have great products. I’ve never had a bad experience with them and I’ve had a ton of different waxers at multiple locations.

Hiiii waxing is a must !!!! you’ll have nothing to worry about in that 10 day time frame, it normally takes about a month or so for hair to start resurfacing - shaving no comparison to waxing I love it!!! 💁🏽‍♀️

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much for the advice! I will definitely check them out 😊😊😊

View Quoted Comment Thank you, Jamie!! 😊

I started about a year out! I wanted to make sure I didn't have too poor of a reaction and that I could time it so the redness/bumps/etc would not be visible before the wedding. I learned that 2 days before the wedding is good for me! I also use European Wax Center for 2 of my services, and my hairstylist for my eyebrows/lip

Waxing is a great experience and hassle-free, I highly recommend it.
