(Probably more than we\u2019d like to know). It might not come as a surprise that some of us may even know our fair share of information about methods like laser hair removal. But there\u2019s an air of mystery when it comes to&nbsp;waxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like other hair removal methods, <strong>the goal of waxing is to remove unwanted body hair<\/strong>. This method is considered to be semi-permanent, removing the hair by its root. This is done through the use of a sticky wax. So, whether you\u2019re choosing to smooth out your legs, or target smaller areas like the armpits or even the brows, the waxing process will look the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that we know a little bit more about what waxing is about, let\u2019s talk about the big question. In other words, the \u201couch\u201d factor.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30092843\/depilation1-1.jpg\" alt=\"What removal wax looks like.\" class=\"wp-image-44274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30092843\/depilation1-1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30092843\/depilation1-1-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-waxing-hurt\"><\/span>Does waxing hurt?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the golden question. But unfortunately, this one doesn\u2019t actually have that straightforward of an answer. Here\u2019s why: Although waxing will surely cause more discomfort than shaving, it\u2019s hard to say <strong>how much a wax will actually hurt<\/strong>. There\u2019s a pain factor, so like tattoos, there\u2019s no telling how one will affect you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone\u2019s pain tolerance is different, so what hurts for one person may not even affect the next. What we can say is to expect a sting. Anyone who has gotten a wax can tell you, the sensation subsides quickly. Additionally, if you decide to go routinely, future sessions typically become less painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-does-waxing-hurt-the-most\"><\/span>Where does waxing hurt the most?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like we\u2019ve mentioned before, pain is relative. But that doesn\u2019t mean that certain areas of the body won\u2019t make you wince a little more than others. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect the most sensitive areas of the body to also be the most painful ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zones such as the underarms, bikini line, and pubic area usually tend to invoke more pain than say, the upper lip or the stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30092958\/depilation2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Woman getting her underarms waxed.\" class=\"wp-image-44279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30092958\/depilation2-1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30092958\/depilation2-1-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"whats-the-appropriate-hair-length-for-waxing\"><\/span>What\u2019s the appropriate hair length for waxing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the most optimal results, you\u2019ll want to keep your hair between 1\/4 an inch to 1\/2 an inch for your&nbsp;waxing&nbsp;appointment. To help you remember, keep in mind that a grain of rice measures roughly around 1\/4 an inch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s the reason why it\u2019s important to keep your hair between this range when going for a wax? It\u2019s not because it hurts less, unfortunately. The real answer has a bit more to do with science. A short length helps guarantee complete removal of the hair. At the same time, it ensures that the wax gets a good grip on the hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-normal-to-have-irritation-after-waxing\"><\/span>Is it normal to have irritation after waxing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Experiencing irritation, redness, or a mild&nbsp;rash after waxing&nbsp;is nothing to fear<\/strong>. These types of side effects are not uncommon when hair is removed by its root. Irritation most commonly occurs directly after a wax, especially if you have particularly sensitive skin. But, this will usually subside within a day. If you want to reduce irritation and skin sensitivity, here\u2019s what you can do: Apply a cold compress to the affected area following your wax. Additionally, wear loose-fitting clothing to avoid unnecessary friction and rubbing.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30093016\/depilation3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30093016\/depilation3-1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/30093016\/depilation3-1-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"will-i-get-ingrown-hair-after-waxing\"><\/span>Will I get ingrown hair after waxing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it is possible to get&nbsp;ingrown hair after waxing, there are certainly a few tips that can help prevent this. The key trick is regular&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/blog\/us\/four-skincare-musts-summer-2021\/\">exfoliation<\/a>. This will not only eliminate dead skin cells, but help prevent ingrown hairs. (Clogged pores too)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just keep this in mind when you exfoliate. You\u2019ll want to wait at least 24 to 48 hours after your wax before doing so. This gives skin time to heal properly. Other things you\u2019ll also want to steer clear of in the two days after your wax appointment is direct sun exposure, excessive heat, products with fragrances, exercise, and tight clothing. Again, your skin has to heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, <strong>now we know about waxing, and what aftercare is going to look like<\/strong>. Now let\u2019s talk about what to think about going into the wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-should-i-prepare-for-a-wax\"><\/span>How should I prepare for a wax?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart from growing your hair out to the proper length for waxing, there are a few more things you\u2019ll want to do before hitting up your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/en-us\/s\/waxing\">local&nbsp;waxing salon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A day or two before your wax, gently exfoliate your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Forgo taking a bath or shower immediately before your treatment. This is because wet skin is difficult to wax, therefore increasing the \u201couch\u201d factor. But make sure the area you\u2019re waxing is clean when you arrive for your wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013&nbsp;&nbsp;Check-in with your doctor about any current medications. Certain medications may cause hypersensitivity during a wax. This can leave your skin prone to injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, are your fears about getting a wax dissipated? Or will you just stick to shaving? Whatever you choose, we know you\u2019ll look great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-long-does-waxing-last\"><\/span>How long does waxing last?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First things first, to get smooth, hair-free skin you\u2019ll want to consider getting waxed systematically. By doing so, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy the effects for even up to 3 weeks. This will also reduce the number and thickness of hairs that regrow, making them less visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-kind-of-wax-should-you-choose\"><\/span>What kind of wax should you choose?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, there is more than one type of wax! If you\u2019re planning on waxing your bikini area (like a Brazilian wax) or your armpits, you\u2019re going to want to use hard wax. This type of wax is specially dedicated to the sensitive parts of our body. Its biggest advantage is that it sticks only to the hair. This means less pain during the session and less irritation of the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re going to wax larger parts of your body, legs, arms, or the abdomen, you should opt for soft wax. Here you use special strips, which are different from the ones you\u2019ve probably seen in one-time kits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"when-getting-waxed-isnt-recommended\"><\/span>When getting waxed isn\u2019t recommended<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are some contraindications for getting a wax, among them are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>diabetes,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>psoriasis,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>viral hepatitis,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>poor blood clotting,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>inflammation on the skin,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>varicose veins,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>epilepsy,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>having a fresh tan,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>if you\u2019re using creams with acids<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"your-beauticians-recommendations-after-getting-waxed\"><\/span>Your beauticians recommendations after getting waxed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The day after the treatment, wash the waxed parts of your body with lukewarm water. Don\u2019t use shower gel or lotion, only moisturize the body with olive or coconut oil. For two to three days after the appointment don\u2019t go to the pool or jacuzzi, and don\u2019t bathe in salt water. Avoiding excessive physical activities is also a good idea. Finally, remember to protect the waxed areas of your body from sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-make-waxing-last-longer\"><\/span>How to make waxing last longer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, it\u2019s best if you give up other methods of hair removal, like shaving intimate places with a razor or using depilatory creams. These methods actually work to your disadvantage, as they cut the regrowing hair at the root, and therefore deprive it of the thinnest part. This results in the stronger and thicker part of the hair coming out above the skin surface, which strengthens the hair again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also important to regularly moisturize and exfoliate your skin. This will help prevent excessive skin irritation in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>One final way you can prepare for a waxing session at a beauty salon is finding the best beauty salon near you!<\/strong>&nbsp;Visit Booksy to find a beauty salon offering waxing services and easily book an appointment!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hair removal methods are abundant these days and one of the most popular treatment types is&nbsp;wax&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":44289,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":"","_ppma_block_editor_authors":""},"categories":[26,25],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[191],"class_list":["post-44273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hair-removal","category-skin"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Waxing 101: What You\u2019ve Wanted to Know About Waxing - Booksy.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Thinking about getting a wax, but unsure about all the fine details?
