Waxing is the course of hair removal from the root by using a layer of a sticky substance, such as wax, to stick to body hair, and then eliminating this covering and pulling out the hair from the base. New hair will not grow back in the formerly waxed area for four to six weeks, although some people will start to see regrowth in only a week due to some of their hair being on a dissimilar human hair growth cycle.

Types of Waxing

Strip waxing (soft wax) is done by spreading a layer of wax thinly over the skin. A cloth or paper strip is attached and pressed firmly, adhering the strip to the wax and the wax to the skin. The strip is then quickly ripped against the direction of hair growth, as parallel as possible to the skin to avoid pain to the skin. This removes the wax along with the hair. There are many forms of strip waxing or soft waxing: heated, cold or pre-made strips. Unlike cold waxing, heated wax is spread easily over the skin. Cold waxing is denser, which makes it more difficult to spread smoothly over the skin. Pre-made strips come with the wax on them, and they come in different sizes for different area uses.

Strip less wax also referred to as hard wax, is smeared somewhat thickly and with no cloth or paper strips. The wax then roughens when it cools. This waxing technique is very beneficial to people who have sensitive skin. Strip less wax does not stick to the skin as much as strip wax does, thus making it a good option for sensitive skin as finer hairs are more easily removed because the hard wax encapsulates the hair as it cools. The strip less waxing technique can also be less painful.

Benefits

There are many benefits to waxing versus other forms of hair removal. It is an operative method to remove large amounts of hair at one time. It is a long-lasting process, as hair in waxed areas will not grow back for two to eight weeks. When hair is shaved or detached by depilatory cream, the hair is removed at the surface rather than the hair root. Within a few days, the hair can reemerge back at the surface. With these methods, hair tends to grow back in a rough stubble. Areas that are repeatedly waxed over long periods often exhibit regrowth that is softer. Smooth and even skin. One of the best benefits of waxing is that your skin will feel smooth and even. When waxing, you not only remove undesirable hair—you also wax away any dry and dead skin cells in the course.

Waxing can be painful when the strip is removed from the skin if the person removing the strip is not careful. Although the pain is not long lasting, it can be intense, particularly in sensitive areas. The cost for waxing can be medium-high, depending on the area waxed and the number of sittings required. There are do-it-yourself waxing supplies, but they may be difficult to use on oneself on some areas on the body.
