Hair Waxing versus Shaving

June 29, 2011 - PRLog -- With waxing the hair is actually being removed from the root vs. the skins surface. When waxing the hair will re grow anywhere from two to eight weeks, although some people may see some hair regrowth within a week or so. Depends on individual speed of hair growth. When continuing the use of waxing, the hair will re grow in softer and in some cases prevent ingrowen hairs. When the hair is removed from the follicle and the actual bulb is in that strand it will never re grow.You can wax almost any part of the body including the under arm the bikini, legs, arms and eyebrows. The thicker or more coarse the hair, generally it is more of a sensitive area. Usually it takes any where from ten minutes to an hour depending on the area being waxed
Before having a waxing service be sure that you dont have a sunburn or any skin irritations. The hair in which you wish to wax needs to be about 1/4 of an inch, this makes it easy for the wax to stick to the hair.Anything longer should be trimmed prior to waxing to reduce pain. It isn't recommend to wax a mans face, due to how sensitive and coarse the hair may be.
After having a waxing service you should avoid bathing for about 10 hours. Apply a soothing gel or cream. Aloe can help to sooth the skin and reduce redness.  A few days after a wax it is said that if you exfoliate the area you are less likely to get ingrowen hairs.
The one thing that people mistake doing is switching between waxing and shaving. You should try to avoid doing this as it may really irritate the skin and cause more frequent ingrowen hairs.
I hope that I have answered all your body waxing questions and hope you enjoy your waxing experience.
