How often should you get waxing done?

There are several methods of hair removal and waxing is the most popular method. Large areas of unwanted hair can be removed easily in one go. Waxing removes the hair by roots. It is a bit painful but definitely worth it for me. Not only the hair is removed but also, skin becomes soft and smooth.

Beauty expert Shahnaz Husain says, “over a period of time, the hair starts to become soft. Along with this, hair growth gradually lessens, eventually increasing the time interval between wax sessions.”

How Often Should You Wax?

A question that arises in the minds of many people is how often one should get waxed? Beauty expert Shahnaz Husain is here to answer your queries.

She tells us that the hair should be one-fourth of an inch before it needs to be waxed again. Your hair should be long enough before you go for waxing. Usually, it takes 3 to 8 weeks for hair to grow this long. So, this is the appropriate time frame to go for your next waxing session.

Things To Remember

• It is advised to not expose your skin to the sun immediately after waxing as it might lead to sun burns.
• If you are getting waxing done on sensitive areas like under arms, then you should take greater care of your skin.
• Once the wax strip is pulled off, you should wipe the area with a wet cotton cloth and then, apply ice on the area as it will close the pores.
• Apply astringent lotion if your skin is prone to rashes.
• Use a pumice stone to rub gently on the waxed area during bathing or use a scrub if there can be in-grown hair on the legs. This will help you to avoid in-grown hair and even pull them out.
