5mm - 1/2 a cm. Keep in mind, because you've been shaving, you'll have a second hair growth coming through so you wont have that "silky smooth" feeling the first couple of times you wax. It takes a few times of waxing before they will all come out together as the hair grows in three different stages. Good luck! P.S. I think bikini hurts way less than legs
Also, make sure you exfoliate really well leading up to the day of your appt. and dont apply any moisturiser to the areas the morning of your wax.
Also even though waxing hurts a bit the longer you do it the less it hurts and the stubble regrowth is no-where near as *****ly as shaving stubble. It looks a bit haggard when you have to let it grow a bit but its starting to get cold now anyway so its easier to hide Good luck!! Oh and bikini is easy peasy- my last brazillian took ten mins so quick!!
I used to always get waxed at a salon..in fact still do, just don't bother with my legs anymore as you need a bit of growth for it work. I have found the best thing for my legs is the depillotory (sp?) creams that come off in the shower with a loofa (usually included). I am using a veet one at the moment. You get them in the supermarket near all the shaving stuff.
I also don't seem to notice a stubble re-growth using the cream.
When I get waxed at my beauty place I have eyebrows and an extended bikini. The more often you do it the less re-growth you get and easier it comes out (or so they tell me...it still hurts a bit!).
I LOVE Veet! Water-soluble wax gets a BIG tick in my book! lol
The hairs have to be pretty long. After shaving I have to wait about a week at least to be able to wax properly, so you do get a little hairy (it's got to be a lot longer than just *****les).
I get really itchy about 10 days afterwards, not sure why. Maybe I need to exfoiliate harder? lol
