Armpit Wax

Armpit Wax

Hello Mermaids! An Armpit Wax is a perfect alternative to at-home shaving, especially if you have to deal with razor burn (Mermaid Wax Signature Series is especially good for sensitive skin as is our X Series). Armpit Wax at home can be very difficult your first goround, specifically the removal of the armpit wax strip! Oh let's just show you the cringe of removing that first strip shall we?!  Haha below are some great pics of Armpit Waxing. Some of them are from the perspective of a self wax and the others are a waxing professional performing an Armpit Wax on a client.

Armpit Waxing Videos

The best way to learn is actually seeing the hair removal process from a professional Armpit Wax. There's 2 types of students we'd like to help with this post; 1. New Waxing Professionals, and 2. At-Home, Self Waxers. This first video is from the perspective of performing a professional Armpit Wax at a Wax Salon. The the one farther down below is for you At-Home Armpit Waxers or "Armpit Wax on Yourself"

In this video HK Wax Center shows you a demonstration on armpit waxing. Remember underarms can be very sensitive so using the correct products and techniques will ensure your under-arm wax turns out fabulous.

 Armpit Wax -How To (on Yourself)

For another perspective here's an Armpit Wax How To video from Kristen. 

Armpit waxing is a fantastic alternative to shaving, not only to avoid razerburn, but to thin out your hair. One of the best results about waxing is that less hair will grow back each time you wax. Waxing kills some of the hair follicles and allows a new fine baby hair to grow back in. This means, the hair will be less noticable, it will be able to be removed easier, and it will hurt less! You read that right! I've waxing my armpits now for about 3 years consistently, and as you can see in this video, my hair grown has dramatically lessened. I highly recommend armpit waxing! Below I've detailed the specific steps you need to take to have a successful armpit wax.

There are 5 key points for a successful Armpit Wax session:

  1. Using proper temperature and high quality wax.
  2. Making sure you prep the skin correctly.
  3. Having the right application of the wax strip.
  4. Removing the wax quickly.

Skipping any of these steps will result in a less than successful wax.

Tip: We love using Hylunia's Healing and Restoring Cream for post wax body services. It hydrates and calms the skin using hyaluronic acid.

Trick: We also recommend PFB Vanish for use in between arm pit wax sessions. This helps prevent ingrown hairs and red bumps.
