So the other day I was working out with my cousin at Rep 1 fitness. We were talking about waxing (this is very common in my group of friends) and the more we talked the more I realized that people aren't educating their clients as much as they should.
So here's some things you need to know about waxing.
1) Upper Lip and Back are the most sensitive and reactive on the whole body
2) Hair should be about 1/4 of an inch to pull it out by the root, the more you wax, the smaller the root so you don't need to let the re-growth grow as much
3) The more you wax, the less the hair grows back. For example waxing your lip will not make it grow in more, darker or faster! I get asked this ALL THE TIME
4) Waxing regularly, every 4-6 weeks will make it less painful. Longer hair, means bigger root, which means more pain!
5) Exfoliating regularly will lessen your ingrown hairs. Sometimes for the bikini area, the tighter and lacier the underwear the more ingrown hairs you may be susceptible too. Use PFB Vanish everyday to prevent and diminish them. Don't pick if it is blind, you'll make a bigger mess of it. If you can see the hair just below the surface, after your shower gently squeeze. If it doesn't come out leave it to the professionals.
6) Shaving in between is a waste of your money on waxing. Book your next appointments ahead of time to avoid the last minute razor incidents
7) First time waxers will have 3 different hair growths. It is going to take 3-5 times to get everything on the same cycle.
Be patient it will come good I promise!
Remember not to have really hot showers, steams or hot tubs right after and if you have any more questions ask your Esthetician!
