You may have heard a lot about waxing services, including how effective they are at removing unwanted body hair. However, if you’ve never tried it before, you may be nervous and full of questions. To help you get informed, use this guide to learn about the process and what to expect.

A Beginner’s Guide to Waxing

Why should I get my hair waxed?

Though shaving is the most common method, it isn’t that effective because it only trims the hair. Laser and electrolysis treatments are expensive, and not all skin types respond well to them. Waxing works immediately and efficiently for all types of bodies, and it consistently makes the hair grow back slower, smaller, softer, and sparser.

Is it painful?

This is because your hair is at its thickest and coarsest, so it takes more time and effort to remove. With consistent waxing services every four weeks, your body will become accustomed to the sensation, and the hair will be easier to address. If you’re still apprehensive, take ibuprofen or aspirin before the appointment.

What can I expect after getting waxed?

If you have sensitive skin, you may experience some irritation around the treated area. Breakouts are also a common side effect, especially on the back, chest, and upper lip. Avoid tanning, using deodorant, or sweating for at least 12 to 24 hours after your appointment—this will give your skin a chance to recover. To maintain the results, don’t shave or tweeze your hair before the next service, and continue applying your everyday moisturizer.

How long does it last?

After your first wax, you should be free of unwanted body hair for at least one or two weeks. While the hair will regrow, it’ll return thinner and more discreet, especially if you continually wax the area.
