For some people, body hair is a major issue. They hate the way it looks and feels, and it makes them feel anxious and less confident about their body. It makes sense that if you feel like this, you would investigate a variety of ways to remove the body hair, and ideally, you would want the longest lasting results for your budget. This could be waxing. However, the idea of waxing can be a little off-putting if you’ve never done it before, and there are lots of confusing myths around that make it harder to choose this option. With that in mind, here is some useful information about waxing that should help you.
You Don’t Need To Grow Your Hair Long
One of the biggest problems a lot of people have with waxing is that they think they need to let their body hair grow very long in order to have the procedure carried out. This is not actually true at all.
What is true is that you do need some hair there for the wax to stick to for it to be removed, but as long as you haven’t just shaved your legs, waxing shouldn’t be a problem. In fact, as long as you’ve chosen professionals to wax your body hair, you’ll only need around one quarter of an inch of hair growth. That’s not very much at all.
Waxing Doesn’t Hurt As Much As You Think
If you think about waxing, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? In most cases, it will be the pain you’ll experience – or expect to experience. Perhaps you’ve read stories about people who were in huge pain and couldn’t go through with their entire treatment, or maybe a friend told you about a horrible experience they had.
If anyone has had a terribly painful experience when they were being waxed, it’s highly probable that they didn’t make an appointment with a fully trained and highly experienced professional – perhaps they did it themselves or had a friend do it for them. Maybe they went to someone who didn’t really know what to do.
As long as you book your treatment with a qualified and experienced practitioner, ideally in a professional setting like dermani Medical Spa, your waxing won’t be as painful as you imagine it will be. Plus, the more times you get waxed, the less painful it will be.
Hair Doesn’t Grow Back Thicker After Waxing
There is a myth that many people believe about hair growing back thicker (and maybe darker) after being waxed. You’ll be pleased to know this is not the case; in fact, it’s the opposite of what really happens.
Although having your body waxed will remove hair and leave you with smooth skin, many people also find that, as time goes on, the hair that grows back is finer. This might not be the main reason to choose waxing in the first place, but it’s certainly a useful additional benefit that no one will be sad about.
