Wax on…..Wax Off…..OUCH!

Many of us have either heard, read about, or even tried waxing the hair off our bodies, but is it really better than shaving and is it really worth the pain?
First off, what is waxing? Waxing is the removal of the hair from the root bed. And the hair can be removed from almost any area of the body, such as eyebrow waxing, bikini, male genital, & Hollywood/Brazilian waxing, leg waxing, arm/underarm waxing, back waxing, foot waxing, chest waxing, entire body wax . And many people do this on a regular basis. The hair will refuse to grow back between six to eight weeks at times and another waxing treatment won’t need to be done till at least a month to a month and a half for some people. If the waxing practice is done regularly for several year, the hair in some places will no longer grow back, because the hair follicle will die.
Waxing is very effective in removing a large area of hair all at once. It last longer then shaving and waxing for long periods of time the regrowth will either appear lighter in color or will refuse to grow.
The drawbacks to the waxing over a long period of time is it can be painful. Waxing runs in the high end dollars and even higher if you do it more often. Often the hair, when it is stripped goes against the growth of the hair and at times can cause the hair to grow in different directions. Ingrown hairs can be a drawback as well along with red bumps and even bleeding at times.
Even though waxing is preferred by some, it maybe not what you are seeking in order to remove stubborn hair. Whatever your method is, waxing definitely has it’s upside, especially when you are wanting to wear that new bikini you worked so hard to fit into this summer.
