- Waxing removes the entire hair shaft from below the skin's surface, resulting in smooth, glowing soft skin. Only the hair that has wax on it is removed, making it an effective method for small areas of the face. A trained salon technician can ensure that only the unwanted hair has wax, thereby ensuring perfectly shaped eyebrows. Hair is removed only from the surface when utilizing other hair removal options.
- Waxing facial hair leaves your face smooth for three to eight weeks because the hair needs to reform a root before it can appear again. The time it takes for new hair growth varies from person to person. Other forms of hair removal only last up to a week and hair can be seen at the surface within a couple of days. After each waxing the new hair growth is finer and lighter. People have reported becoming totally hair-free in areas they have waxed consistently for years.
- Wax contains no harmful chemicals. There are two types of facial hair wax, cold and hot. Thinly apply both hot and cold wax on the face. Place a strip of cloth over the cold wax and quickly rip off in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Hot wax is allowed to harden and cool, which allows easy removal without the aid of cloth. The most common side effect is redness of the skin. Some doctors do not recommend waxing for people with diabetes, varicose veins or poor circulation. To be safe, ask your doctor before heading to the salon.
- At first glance, waxing may appear costly. However, when compared to the cost of other hair removal methods it is relatively inexpensive. Waxing produces long-lasting results, therefore time between salon visits are longer and over time can cost less than repeatedly purchasing razors, shaving cream and hair removal lotions.
