Instructions

Buy a waxing kit containing wooden applicator or spatula, strips and wax. There are several waxing kits available online. If you want you can try online sugar kits that are effective and easier to use.
Have enough hair. Grow your leg hair to at least ¼ of an inch which will take nearly two weeks.
Place the wax in a container and heat it either in the microwave or by placing it in a pot with water on the stove top. Follow the package instructions because heating time generally varies depending on which wax you use.
Cleanse your legs prior waxing
Apply wax to a small area of your leg with the spatula. Make sure you apply it evenly in the direction of hair growth. For better application, hold the spatula at a 90-degree angle and then apply a smooth, thin layer of wax. Avoid applying too thick layer that may cause problem while removing it.
Now cover the wax applied area with a fabric strip. Apply it in the same direction that you applied the wax. Leave a part of the strip at the end that is not attached to hair. For instance, if your hair growth is from right to left, then leave the leftover strip on the left side.
Before the wax cools, smooth the strip and press it firmly over the leg in the direction of the hair growth.
Remove the strip. Grasp the leftover end of strip that is not attached to hair and pull off the strip in opposite direction of hair growth at one go. Avoid pulling the strip up which is the natural tendency because it’s less painful if you keep the strip as close to skin as possible If you notice some wax with hair remains, then put the strip back on hair and pull off.
Repeat the process until all the hair is removed from your legs.
Use tweezers to remove small hairs missed by waxing.
Now wash off the skin. Do not use hot water to remove wax as it may cause burns. You can use wax remover, baby oil or even petroleum jelly to remove remaining wax from skin.
Soothe your waxed skin by applying after wax-lotion.

Tips

Do not overheat the wax. Carefully read the instructions.
If you have varicose veins or phlebitis do not wax your legs.
