Once you have bought the products you would need to wax your arms, arrange all the products around you or at an easy access place so that you not stretching or finding products when you start waxing.
You need to keep in mind that your underarm hair should have grown more than you usually let it. If it is one of the few times you are waxing at home, you might want to longer than you usually wait. Short hair can be difficult to wax. The hair should be about half an inch in length. Before you start waxing prepare the wax as per instructions. Some brands need the wax to be hot; some need it to be warm while others need the wax to be cold. The consistency needs to smooth or it will difficult to spread. If it is not spread correctly then it might be difficult to remove the hair.
Wash and gently dry your underarms. Ensure that you do not rub it too vigorously. Do not also apply deodorants or creams in that area. If the skin in your underarms has been damaged previously by waxing, it might not be a good idea to try waxing at home.

Wait a few seconds and then pull or rip the cloth out. You should pull it out in the opposite direction.
