One of the growing trends in beauty care in past years has been that of long-term hair removal. It seems as if hair is undeniably out and everyone wants a smooth, hairless body. The human body is almost completely covered with hair, except the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Although there is more than one hair removal method to choose from, waxing is one of the most popular ways of removing hair.
Waxing is a permanent hair removal method that removes unwanted hair from the root. Almost any area of the body can be waxed.
Benefits Of Waxing
Waxing is considered the best long-term approach to hair removal. Hair growth usually takes 3 to 8 weeks, which is much longer than the rate at which hair regrows when shaved or when depilatory creams are used. Also, when the hair grows, they are softer and thinner following a waxing treatment. This is mainly because waxing removes hair from the roots while shaving and creams remove hair from the surface, resulting in faster hair growth and leaving spots or bumps.
Waxing is probably the most effective hair removal method and one of the most commonly used to remove unwanted hair from almost anywhere on the body. It also has long-lasting effects and is cost effective.
The Different Types Of Waxing That Can Be Performed Are:
Eyebrow Waxing
The eyebrow is a form of personal grooming where the hair on the eyebrow is trimmed or removed. The wax is applied to the environment and allowed to cool. The strip is then separated to remove unwanted hair.
Leg Waxing
Leg waxing is more effective than shaving because it will enable the hair loss to last longer. Waxing removes hair from their roots, allowing new, finer hair to grow back instead of the thick black hairs as when shaving.[/fusion_tagline_box][fusion_tagline_box backgroundcolor=”” shadow=”yes” shadowopacity=”0.70″ border=”1″ bordercolor=”” highlightposition=”left” content_alignment=”left” link=”” button=”” linktarget=”_self” modal=”” button_size=”” button_type=”” button_shape=”” buttoncolor=”default” title=”” description=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””]
Arm Waxing
Arm waxing is generally popular among individuals with darker arm hairs and used as a cosmetic enhancement. Other individuals such as swimmers, body builder, or other athletes may wax their arms to enhance performance or visibility of their muscle growth and vasculature.
Underarm waxing has been gaining popularity in recent years as it is more effective and gives a better result. It also makes the skin smoother and softer as it exfoliates the top layer of dead skin cells away. A hair-free underarm is also much more hygienic.
Other areas of the face aside from eyebrows can be waxed away for proper hair maintenance, including the chin, upper lip, and along the jawline (typically employed by men to avoid constant shaving). For most lip and chin waxing is used to enhance cosmetic or aesthetic appearance.
A Bikini wax eliminates hairs outside of the region not covered by a bikini bottom. Additional waxing or trimming of the bikini area may be employed for further hair growth maintenance, but most of the hair is left in place.
Brazilian waxing on the other hand, fully eliminates all hair growth in the bikini region. For best results and minimized discomfort, we recommend trimming your bikini area to a quarter inch in length prior to your waxing treatment.
Chest waxing quickly removes unwanted hair with minimal pain and allows clients to gain the confidence they need. It is a popular choice among athletes to enhance their performance or highlight muscle appearance as well as non-athletes to enhance their overall body appearance. Back waxing removes hair from the back and is commonly performed for similar reasons as chest waxing.
