When you first start waxing after having shaved your hairs are all at different stages of the growth cycle. So the first few waxes many people will feel stubbly as some hairs are the right length to be removed with wax and others are too short. It take a few waxes with no shaving in between and proper gaps of around 5-6 weeks before all the hair is growing at the same rate and then each wax will give a smooth result.

It could be your ripping technique too. If your ripping technique isnt right, youll find that instead of removing all the hair, you're snapping it instead

I agree. It's very difficult to wax yourself and get correct angle. The strips need to be pulled almost flat to the skin.......if you pull them upwards it will break the hair.
