Male Hare Removal - How to Wax for men

Male Hair Removal and Manscaping are all the rage at the moment in the world of fashionable and stylish men. With no part of the body sacred. With a variety of treatments for men available from shaving, waxing and laser hair removal.
But what if you decide to do wax yourself? Where do you start.
If you decide that your man carpet needs regular attention, or you would rather not go to a wax salon, and you have opted to wax yourself, then here are my handy tips and advice on mens hair removal diy style!
So how do you achieve the perfect waxing for men experience:
1. Make sure you get yourself the necessary waxing for men toolkit. See here
2. It is essential that the wax you use is hot, but not to hot. If the thing is bubbling or boiling then it is too hot. You do not want to scold the skin. If it gets to hot wax becomes far to runny, takes longer to cool down and bascially loses its effectiveness.
3. Check the area that is going to be waxed for any sores, broken skin or cuts etc. Also if you are sun burnt anywhere. If there is anything like this, then DO NOT wax. It will probably only result in getting an infection or inflaming the sunburn or cuts etc.
4. If it is really hairy, then trim it down a bit, this will make the waxing process a lot more easy. Waxing through deep pile is not very sensible. 1 cm of hair length is sufficent for a good wax.
5. As instructions for cleaners and skin products always say, do a patch test. Find a small area and try a little wax out. Then if you suddenly find you have a bad reaction or an allergy to the wax, it is not too late. If you are attempting the old back, sack and crack wax, then I would suggest that a patch test is crucial. Afterall, you do not want a bad reaction down there!
6. Patch test complete and passed, then you can start the process of waxing for men. Use your Pre Wax lotion to clean the area, and reduce any moisture content such as persiparation etc. Then pat dry, taking away any residue moisture.
7. Apply some talc powder lightly, as if putting a light dusting of icing on a cake. This will help dry the back ready for waxing.
8. Apply the wax, but try to avoid applying too much, You need to be consistent and smooth. Some waxing practioniors will cover the whole area in wax, then wax very quickly. Other will do it bit by bit. I recommend, depending on the size of the area being waxed, to do it bit by bit, applying then even lines.
9. Get your waxing strip and place on the wax and push and smooth down, so they feel secure and tight against the wax. Let them cool down for just a movement. Now hold the skin taught, and ideally, pulling against the hair growth, pull off the strip, quickly and firmly. Do not do this slowly, quick and firm is the key. Repeat this process over the whole area.
10. Once you have removed all the hair, get yourself some tweezers, and look for any hairs that have been missed by the waxing process.
11. Finally, apply some after wax lotion to make the skin feel smooth, relaxed and moisturised. Some people apply a nice ice pack, and if this is your first time this might help soothe any soreness. After a few sessions you will find the process less painful. Always hurts the first time!
12. Do not have a hot shower or bath for 24 hours, as this can result in a spotty skin etc. Wash with cold water if needed, and pat dry. Never rub! Try to avoid any tight clothing in that area for a few days, you want the air to circulate a bit and the waxed area to breathe.
13. Enjoy!
