Hello,
This is my first time using hard wax. I have used soft wax plenty of times with minimal issues. I purchased a GiGi mini pro kit and used the Brazilian wax by GiGi. I waxed my armpit for the first time,ever, last night the pain was awful but I feel like it was my bad too. When I went to rip the wax off it wouldn't come off. Either it would get stuck mid rip or edges would be left. Just an fyi I took a shower, cleansed with gigi cleanser, applied baby powder like I would soft wax, applied thin layer of hard wax going with the hair and ripped in the opposite direction. I was bleeding pretty bad and picking at the leftover wax was so painful. There is still some leftover hair I am terrified to take care of. I almost just want to use soft wax because I wax my eyebrows with it and never had a problem.
What did I do wrong? I want to do my own Brazilian but kind of terrified now.
