Hi! Tried to wax my bikini line just now and failed miserably. It only pulled a few hairs. So now I feel like I wasted time and it would irritate things to go over the area again.

Here’s what I did: - showered and exfoliated first, made sure to be totally dry - made sure hair was about a quarter inch - lightly baby oiled the area beforehand - used hard wax I got at Sally’s - applied with the grain, ripped against the grain - pulled the skin taut, went fast and cussed lol - tried two small sections and had the same results both times: several hairs pulled out beautifully, but the result is super patchy. Having some pinpoint redness and bleeding, and even having some bleeding in the follicles of hairs that didn’t come out.

So what gives?? Help!

Edit: idk if this matters, but I’m white with very dark hair (except it’s really only coarse in this region; everywhere else is pretty fine)
