Waxing/Shaving legs

Hey guys,

I am sure quite a couple of you have gone for smooth legs....

I have super hairy legs and actually wanted to start seeing the calf muscles develop, so I decided to go for a wax.
Went fine, excellent result, really dig seeing my leg muscles in more detail.

NOW!!! The fucking hair is growing back, like individual thorns piercing through the skin. Ingrown hair everywhere, very irritating.

What do you do?
Shave?
Special creams or balms out there?
Will it get better after another wax?

Fuuuuck it is super irritating.....

Phillips Bodygroom Plus.

Hey bro, I get hair growing on my shoulders and it drives me insane so I go for a wax once a month, the only thing that I found works is to mix teetre and arnica oil and rub it in for a couple of days after the wax , it softens the skin so that when the hair grows back you don't get ingrown hairs. The beautician told me about it. But once the ingrown hairs have started you just gotta let them grow out if you shave now you'll just get a rash and sores.

Dont shave too close.
I use the Philips but only the trimmer on the side for inside upper leg.

As far as I know, shaving causes the hair to get even thicker/harder, so you kinda have to shave for ever.
Waxing seems to thin the hair in the long run.

So I am going to try waxing again, but will try the oils for soothing.

Inside upper leg is a killer. Yussis.

I tried waxing, messed my arms up.... Apparently you should exfoliate after.
I did the shaving, but it grows back faster and thicker
So now i use Veet, its super simple to use and i use it everywhere as long as you have no cuts on the area you applying it on.....

I also use Veet, as waxing often works out expensive if going frequently. Remember to exfoliate aftrerwards.

One of the great myths of our time. It's simply untrue

But look what happens to the hair on your face? And also, my rat says that since she started waxing again the hair is finer than when shaving?

scrub 3 - 5 days directly after wax, it does get better

Get one of those Sh'zen loofahs to exfoliate with. It helps with the ingrowns

never understood doing this.. all my friends who train do.. eh maybe I'll try it.

I used to get bad ingrown hairs on my face after shaving and then i used nivea aftershave balm the white bottle and that helped allot with razer burn and ingrowns.

Hey Chapel,

I never thought I would do it bru! But once I started doing hardcore leg workouts and couldn't see definition due to my baboon hair I just had to.
It was actually UNREAL how much hair was there and what a difference it made. I can now actually see the two heads of the calf clearly and the quads popping out...

BUT, cheese n rice, when the hair grows back (initially I hope) there is no worst discomfort ever. I was exfoliating at 2am in the fuckin morning so I could go back to sleep!!!! AAAARRRGGGHHH.
