So, why am I underarm waxing inept?

[UmmIbrahim]

I am a waxer-thou I norm just wax my legs and arms...I norm just shave my underarms. Well, I decided I try to wax my underarms like it doesnt work, no matter what I do.

any tips? I norm. use Nads sugar wax gel...would Brazilian hard wax work better?

Again, I know how to wax...but argh, whats up w/ my underarms?

My sister is an estitician and says that underarms are difficult to wax because the hairs all grow in different directions. I've never waxed my own but I'm pretty sure you have to use a couple of different directions when pulling the wax strips off.

Good luck.

My friend & I were doing each other's for awhile. I found it pretty much impossible to do it on my own. It's so awkward to reach & keep the skin pulled tight & go in enough different directions.

Is there anyone you can "trade" services with?
