wait at least 2.5 weeks after shaving to get waxed, because hair won’t come out if it isn’t at least 1/4” long (the length of an eyelash or grain of white rice)
do not trim or shave before getting waxed, because if hair is too short it won’t come out
if you’re sensitive, take an OTC pain reliever an hour before your appointment
after the wax
your skin might look and feel like a sunburn for a few days
apply aloe, diaper rash cream, or antibiotic ointment to sore areas and hydrocortisone cream to itchy or raised areas
avoid exercise, hot tubs, & saunas for 24 hours
if you’re going in the sun wear sunscreen on waxed areas to avoid skin damage or hyperpigmentation
waxing maintenance
wax regularly (every 4-6 weeks) so hair becomes lighter, thinner, & less painful to wax
exfoliate regularly to prevent and treat ingrown hairs, & visit lollybat.com for more information & products
avoid exercise, hot tubs, & saunas for 24 hours
don’t shave between waxing appointments as it can cause hair to grow in thicker & darker – just let it grow instead
