I registered just to ask this question...

I'm a huge supporter of the Brazilian wax.

You can pay $80 for a professional to do it, or you can buy a kit for $16 at Sally's Beauty Supply and have a close friend yank away at your stuff.

Not only that, but it lasts about 6 weeks. r00f.

LMAO... have a friend yank it? NO WAY!

Yea, I got waxed... ONCE! I made the mistake of my first bikini wax being in India (yes, India!). It was so cheap, I couldn't pass it up.

OMG!!!! THE PAIN! Was unbelieveable. I was seriously BLEEDING from the hair folicals. Let me tell you, my hair DID NOT want to GO!

Then, I had stubble 3 days later. What a waste!

And, all those open hair folicals... produced small, white ***** pimples. It was so gross.

So, no waxing... ever again. No thanks. Shaving everyday is fine by me.

I have to agree...waxing sounds too painful to me! Yikes! I am also a blonde, but I haven't had this problem. Now I am definitely going to think about it before buying shorts! I think shaving is probably your best bet. The only problem is, if you don't maintain it the stubble will poke through...this really is quite a problem. Good luck with the guru!!!

Yeah, yo, it's cheaper that way. I was supposed to wax a friend of mine and me hers, but she could't wait and had someone else do it.

Also, I told you: you need a deep pore cleanser afterwards to prevent ingrown hairs and infections. (You got it done in India, home of the visitor intestinal tract parisite when contracted is fondly known as Deli-Belly. No wonder!)

The pain is a lot like fashion: sometimes it must overshadow comfort to achieve the desired results.
