Waxing was a thing for women and interesting enough, men have started getting in on it too. Whether you are using professional hard wax brands or just soft wax one’s, the point is to get the hair off your body. A lot of people prefer salon treatments while others want to DIY right at home and see just how good they are with their hands a couple of tools. Both methods are okay the way they are, but before you decide to go get yourself some wax or book your appointment with a specialist, there are a few things that you need to know about the art of waxing. Let’s get right into it:-
Types of Wax
Sugar wax is the simplest form of wax which attached to your hair follicles and when removed only takes out the hair leaving the skin exactly how it was.Hard wax, on the other hand, is applied straight on the skin and hair too. This wax is best used by specialist and it gets rid of the hair and also a layer of skin too. You have found a better way of removing dead skin to other parts of your body and not just the face.Soft wax is exactly that. It is commonly used in DIY videos and articles while it requires cotton and muslin during removal. It is also found in supply stores.
Your Choices in Waxing
Yes, you have options on the kind of wax you should get on different parts of your body. The Brazilian wax removes all the hair in your vagina from the front to the back, leaving a small triangle at the top. A French bikini is also another option which only removes hair from the front leaving a small triangle at the top. This type of waxing does not remove hair from the back. It also requires the use of professional hard wax brands to get the job done neatly. Next on the list is a full bikini wax which removes all the hair from the front to back leaving you spotless and hairless. All these types of wax are all focused on women specifically.
So, what is in the list for everyone? Well, there are facial waxing, legs waxing, armpits waxing and other parts depending on what you want. It is best to first go to a specialist for the first few times when you decide to start getting your body waxed. You can then begin doing it yourself after you understand how your body works and what not. You are also in capable hands with a specialist since they know exactly what they are doing and rarely can something go wrong. You will also get to feel how hard wax works before you decide to try other types of wax on your own.
How to Wax
You have decided to DIY your way into or rather out of waxing, how does it work since you should know that you are taking an insurmountable amount of risk on your part? You that hair is supposed to be removed according to the direction it grows to right? Knowing this, apply the wax and strip it off in the opposite direction that you applied it (opposite direction of the hair). The bikini and armpits are a delicate choice to wax at home, this is because you can rarely know clearly which direction the hair has grown. The skin in these parts of the body is also very thin which can lead to your hurting yourself which is not worth the risk. This is why you are advised to go for a professional waxing treatment for these areas whereas they will use professional hard wax brands that are neither harmful nor dangerous to your skin.
Why Should You Go For Waxing?
You might not be entirely sold on the idea of waxing which gets you thinking why you should abandon the methods of hair removal that you have been using in the past for something new? Well, here are a few reasons to go by:-Waxing is the best because you want hair gone and it will do just that. Waxing helps get rid of unwanted hair leaving you clean and smooth. It also keeps the hair off your body for 4-6weeks which is a plus on it. Unlike other methods, waxing can be done on almost all parts of the body without the worry of pimples or anything on those lines. Waxing helps in getting rid of ingrown hairs which aid in exfoliating the skin. Unlike other methods of hair removal, hard wax is special. This is why it is not recommended for all skin types since it could be more irritating to these skin types more than it can to normal skin types. It is best to discuss this with your esthetician when you go to book your appointment in which they can make recommendations on what else you can do.
