Waxing your legs isn't as hard or frightening as you may think. I'm going to walk you through it.

Difficulty Level: Medium
Time Required: 20 minutes

Here's How:
Choose your product. There are waxes or sugar solutions available.
Read instructions thoroughly... twice.
If product needs to be heated, do so for suggested time.
Test the temperature so that you don't burn yourself.
Check legs to be sure that they are dry. This is very important.
For first time waxers, apply a thin layer of wax/sugar solution in a small area of the leg following hair growth direction.
Press muslin strip onto leg.
At the bottom of the strip (closest to your foot), turn a small area back against the strip. It should be resting flat against the strip about to be removed.
Lift the end as instructed and pull back toward you. Do not pull up. Pulling back is the correct procedure.
Bite down on your lip GENTLY. The pain will ease up in a second or two. ;)
Repeat procedure if you have missed a few hairs.
Continue the leg until you are hair free!

Tips:

You must be careful not to burn yourself. I have heard lots of stories of this happening.
If the hair is not coming off, it may be that you are pulling up rather than pulling vertically. I made this mistake on my first few tries.
Pain? It was not half as bad as I expected. It stings for a second and then it stops. Actually it is a lot easier than I imagined. My only mistake was pulling the strips off incorrectly.
