Waxing is a popular hair removal method used to remove hair from its roots using wax as an adhesive and pulling it straight from the roots. It is a semi-permanent hair removal method that can last several weeks, depending on an individual’s hair growth rate.
Most women and men widely use it in areas such as the face, armpits, bikini area, legs, eyebrows, and more. It is highly recommended for people experiencing the itch of thicker hair follicles after a few days of shaving. Other than that, its results give you a smooth finish as long as you use a moisturizing cream.
There are two types of waxing: the first is soft wax. Soft or cold wax is applied to the skin using a spatula and then removed with depilatory paper. The next type of waxing is called hard wax or hot wax. It is applied directly on the skin while in liquid form and spread. It doesn’t need any waxing strip. Instead, once it has cooled and hardened, it can be pulled off instantly like a wax strip.
These waxing procedures are available for different skin types. If you’re sensitive to heat, you can always choose the cold or soft wax to avoid the pain brought on by the heat.

What Are the Benefits?
Is waxing good or bad for you? With its increasing popularity as the solution to those bumpy chicken skins, waxing is an intelligent choice that someone looking for a practical solution can make.
1). It provides long-lasting results.
One of the reasons a shave can quickly grow after a few days is that you only remove the hair from the surface. With waxing, you take the entire hair follicle straight from its roots, which mostly takes three to six weeks to grow again.
2). Gently removes dead skin cells.
During and after the application of the wax, it also helps remove dead skin cells. This, in turn, provides gentle exfoliation making the skin look and feel smooth. However, after doing this, follow it with some moisturizing lotion to ensure long-lasting smooth skin.
3). Quick and efficient process.
Instead of removing your hair by plucking them out individually through tweezers, a thread, or a shave, this is a more efficient process. Besides that, the previous procedures take more than 30 minutes to an hour to finish depending on which body part you are targeting. As for waxing, it can be less demanding regarding maintenance and will only take you a couple of hours to get the hair removed.
4). Reduces ingrown hairs
There are hairs in your body that often curl up and goes back to your skin and cause bumps. They often get infected, and if you scratch them, they will bleed and get worse. Conversely, waxing reduces the chance of ingrown hair growth since it mostly takes the hair follicle straight from the root.
5). It helps in removing fine hair.
Have you ever found it challenging to remove thin hair follicles since they easily break off and even coarse hair? With waxing, you won’t be dealing with this problem. Your hair follicles easily stick to the wax, like some adhesive, making removing them quick and easy.
6). Lesser chances of getting injured.
You could injure yourself and get cuts when you’re inexperienced with properly handling a razor. With waxing, there’s little to no chance of these problems occurring. However, if you have low heat tolerance, you’ll need to specify and use the soft wax method instead.
Signs That You May Need Some Wax
The thing about waxing is you don’t need to go to the salon often to get it removed. Depending on your hair growth rate, your hair usually takes three to six weeks.
However, in some cases, most women usually get themselves waxed for physical hygiene. At the same time, others have their hair removed because they or their partner find them more attractive when their skin has less hair.
Regardless, here are some signs that tell how you may need to get your hair waxed:
- Your long hair down there is starting to itch
- You’re wearing a bikini soon and find it unattractive if your pubic hair goes out
- You want to remove unwanted thick hair on your back or legs
- You’re wearing something sleeveless
- You want smooth, hairless skin
All in all, it also depends on your personal preferences and purposes when you want to shave. Sometimes, you want to shave for special occasions, but then again, it all boils down to when you want it.
Top 3 FAQS
-
Waxing vs. Shaving: Which is a better choice?
Our answer: We’ve consistently stressed how waxing is better than shaving. This should be your go-to solution for avoiding thicker hair follicles. And if you’re not a fan of chicken skin or those tiny after-shave bumps, then a trusted waxing service is your best friend.
-
Is waxing your vagina okay?
Our answer: Waxing your vagina can sometimes be painful for first-timers. However, it gives you a smoother finish, making it an intelligent choice. It is highly recommended that you use an after-care cream to remedy the expected burning sensation.
But if you’re someone with sensitive skin, you must avoid waxing unless you’ve consulted your dermatologist if you’re safe to do so.
-
Am I old enough for a wax?
Our answer: The minimum age allowed to get a wax is 13 years old. If you have hair that’s already growing on some parts of your body and is making you lose self-confidence, then book a waxing schedule with us.
