Prepare for your wax by letting the hair to be waxed grow for about 3 weeks. The hair should be comparable in length to a grain of rice or longer.
Exfoliate 24-48 hours before your wax appointment.
Wear loose fitting clothes to your wax appointment to help avoid irritation after.

This can vary for each person. Most areas will require maintenance every 4-6 weeks.
-
Avoid excessive sweating and intercourse for about 24 hours following your wax appointment. Bacteria can build up in your hair follicles and cause an adverse reaction.
Moisturize. I recommend a post wax oil such as Green Envee or a clean, non comedogenic, fragrance free lotion.
Exfoliate. I will recommend exfoliating methods to you be it chemical or manual exfoliation, 2-3 times a week (or more, if necessary.) Wait at least 24-48 hours after your waxing service to avoid irritation. African net sponges and Skinscript toner pads are available for purchase in my office.
Treat ingrown hairs with care. Ingrown hairs must be extracted with care and treated properly to keep your skin looking nice. I offer in treatments in between waxes that can help with exfoliation, ingrown hairs and more.
