Want to do a Brazilian at home?

I love the feeling of a good Brazilian wax.  It leaves the skin so smooth and soft and also it is much more hygienic, isn`t it?  But I refuse to pay the price that salons and beauty parlous charge us for a good Brazilian. Actually even in Brazil this service can be quite pricy depending how fancy the establishment is. 
My sister taught me a technique of how to do Brazilian at home and I will explain to you now. If you would like to try take notes:

You will need:
A medium size  mirror  
A well lit place
Any  wax for body, bikini line or even more specific like Brazilian wax  (I prefer hard wax)
A spatula

Procedure:
Prepare the wax following the instructions in the package. When the wax is ready to be used, be in a squatting position, then put the mirror on the floor and between your legs so you can see all the area to be worked on. (see photo on left)
Use the spatula to be precise and place the wax only onto the areas that you want to remove the hair from. When the waxing is ready to be pulled off, hold your skin with one hand and pull the wax or stripes with the other hand as fast as you can. (I count 1, 2,3..to help....)
The squatting position is a little uncomfortable so if you feel your legs getting tired, do one side first, then rest your legs and then do the other side. When you get  experienced like me you will be able to do it so fast that your legs will not have time to feel tired.
I hope it helps but if not, feel free ask me more questions.  It not difficult just need some practice, in the beginning you will do a  mess which is normal, so put some old newspaper on the floor where you will do it. Try it and save heaps of money with your Brazilian.
