subject: Why Waxing [print this page] Waxing is the longest lasting, temporary method of hair removal which removes the hair from the root. New hairs will not grow back in the previously waxed area for three to eight weeks.
Male body waxing is really no different than standard waxing. The procedure aims to remove unwanted hair by spreading a thin layer of wax onto the desired area and then applying a cloth over the wax which is to be ripped off rather quickly (like a band-aid) against the direction of the hair growth. Ultimately, the wax pulls out the hair (beginning from the roots) as well as dead skin cells. Sugaring is a similar procedure, except sugar paste (generally a mixture of sugar, lemon, and water) is substituted for the wax.
Waxing removes the unwanted hairs directly from the root. Waxing is
widely popular among women as it leaves nothing on the skin. The result of waxing
lasts for up to six weeks. Waxing can be used both at home and at a salon.
The best thing about waxing is that it removes a large amount of hairs at a time. If performed by a professional, it may take up to one hour and if performed on own, it may take more than an hour.
Brow waxing is a long-lasting solution to removing unwanted eyebrow hair, as hair will not grow back for anywhere from two to eight weeks (depending upon the person). It is also less time-consuming than tweezing, and the pain is over in a much quicker manner- it's like pulling a band-aid off all at one, rather than slowly removing it bit by bit. Another benefit of brow waxing is that getting a professional wax treatment gives you opportunity to give your brows a completely new shape- a task that can be very difficult to do by yourself with a pair of tweezers.
If the hair is removed against the direction of growth, hair follicles may begin to grow in other directions. This problem is more common with do-it-yourself home waxing kits, as most waxing professionals know how to avoid it. Even when performed professionally, brow waxing may result in ingrown hairs or skin irritation. This is especially true when dealing with sensitive skin.
Body waxing is an economical, effective hair removal method which leaves the skin feeling wonderfully smooth.
But it comes at a price. Depending on your level of sensitivity there can be considerable discomfort or even pain.
Take a pain killer 30-60 minutes before the waxing procedure. Look for tablets like Advil that contain Ibuprofen which controls mild pain and inflammation.
Thankfully there are simple precautions you can take which can significantly reduce the "Ouch!" factor. Here they are:
However, it's not until your third wax treatment, that you fully recognize the complete benefit of waxing due to the fact that hair grows in three stages. This means that when you start waxing, you should plan on 3 waxing sessions before you can take advantage of silky smooth legs for up to 8 weeks!
