So, you were going to leave your bikini wax to the pros but then lockdown got extended for another 3 weeks and the prospect of DIY started to look a bit more appealing (ok, maybe \u2018appealing\u2019 is a bit of a stretch). We get it, one does not simply <\/span>do<\/span><\/i> their own bikini wax, it takes preparation – mental preparation, mainly, but these tips will help too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re just tidying up the bikini area, going full Hollywood or growing a bush (and just reading this feeling thankful it\u2019s not you) – that\u2019s your choice. For the sake of clarity, we\u2019ll talk you through the whole shebang.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Which type of wax should you use for a DIY bikini wax?<\/h3>\n

Warm wax with muslin cloth strips is a good choice for beginners, as it grips hair better than gel wax strips. Fabric wax strips are also more environmentally-friendly because you can wash and reuse them.<\/div>\n

\n

How long should your hair be before waxing your bikini area?<\/h3>\n

Your hair should be about a quarter of an inch and no more than half an inch long for best results. If the hair is longer than this, it’s recommended to trim it before waxing for a more comfortable and effective experience.<\/div>\n

\n

What is the ideal consistency and temperature for heating wax?<\/h3>\n

The heated wax should reach the consistency of honey\u2014runny, but not liquid. Test the temperature on the palm of your thumb to ensure it’s warm but not too hot to avoid burns.<\/div>\n

\n

How should you prepare your skin before a bikini wax?<\/h3>\n

Clean the area thoroughly with soap and water or an alcohol wipe, then dry it completely before waxing. This removes oils that could prevent the wax from gripping properly and helps you achieve smoother results.<\/div>\n

\n

How do you remove leftover wax after a bikini wax?<\/h3>\n

Gently remove any wax residue by soaking a cotton pad in coconut, olive, or baby oil and applying it to the skin. Aftercare is important\u2014avoid hot showers, working out for 24 hours, and opt for loose clothing to allow your skin to recover.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

If you’ve tried waxing before, you probably used those gel wax strips, right? These tend to be harder to grip which means you often end up yanking them a little too hard. The ‘right’ wax is up to preference but warm wax and muslin cloth strips is a good combination for beginners. Fabric wax strips are much more environmentally-friendly too, they can be washed and reused.<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":35550},{"block_title":"Get yourself ready","block_content":"

This is stage is about physical and mental preparedness. Put a towel down for you to lay on, grab a mirror - you’ll need it to see what you’re doing - and your tweezers. Location-wise, somewhere bright with overhead lighting is best. To set your mind at ease, make sure your housemates know not to come into your room.<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":35551},{"block_title":"Heat the wax","block_content":"

You need to heat the wax so it’s the right temperature and consistency. If you’ve got a wax warmer, great - this will keep the wax at the right temperature. If not, you can heat it in the microwave (you’ll probably have to reheat throughout). It needs to be runny but not so much that it moves like liquid - the consistency of honey is ideal. Test the temperature on the palm of your thumb.<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":35552},{"block_title":"Make sure your hair is the right length","block_content":"

If it’s too short, the wax won’t be able to grip the hairs to pull them out - too long, and its harder to control which hairs the wax grabs on to (its unnecessary pain, believe me). Ideally, your hair should be around a quarter of an inch and no more than half an inch. Any longer and you should trim it beforehand.<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":35553},{"block_title":"Clean the area","block_content":"

This goes without saying, but we thought we’d say it anyway, you know, for good measure. Wash the area using soap and water or an alcohol wipe. This removes any oils from the skin to help the wax grip. Make sure you fully dry the area before applying any wax.<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":35554},{"block_title":"Work in small sections","block_content":"

Start at your pubic bone (its flat and the most easily accessible). Work in sections - about 1-inch wide and a couple of inches in length - smearing a layer of the wax onto the skin with an applicator stick. If you’re using fabric strips, smooth the strip on top of the wax, leaving enough fabric free to grip. For hard wax, let it harden for around 30 seconds.<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":35555},{"block_title":"Pulling it off","block_content":"

Once the wax is on there is literally only one way to get it off - so this is where the fear sets in. Whether you’re pulling off hard wax or a fabric strip, always pull in the opposite direction to hair growth. Hold the surrounding skin taut with your free hand to lessen the pain. Most importantly, be confident. Take a breath and pull in one quick motion.<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":35556},{"block_title":"Don't overdo it","block_content":"

Waxing actually removes a layer of skin - that sounds more brutal than it is, its like exfoliation - so it can irritate your skin if you wax the same section too many times. A second time is okay (unless your skin is really sensitive) but no more than that. You can always tweeze any stray hairs.<\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":35557},{"block_title":"The 'route' to take","block_content":"

Riding on the success of your first section, it’s straight onto the next. Once you’ve waxed along the pubic bone, move onto the sides where your bikini line meets the thighs - it’s much less sensitive. Work your way down and inwards (closer to the labia) - it’s not as easy to keep the skin taut here so it can hurt a bit - and then up the labia (towards the clitoris). The more sensitive the spot, the more it hurts. <\/p>\n","video_content":"","block_picture":35558},{"block_title":"Remove any leftover wax","block_content":"

Firstly, congratulations. You did it. Soak a cotton pad in oil - coconut, olive or baby oil - and gently remove any leftover wax residue from the skin. Remember, the same post-wax rules apply to DIY waxing (no hot showers or working out for 24 hours, loose clothing).<\/p>\n\n
