subject: Undergoing Wax Hair Removal [print this page] Getting a wax hair removal is one of the best ways to achieve long-lasting hair-free results. Although wax hair removal does not permanently eliminate unwanted body hairs, people find it best because it completely pulls off the hair from its roots leaving your skin feeling and looking clean, smooth and soft. Warm wax hair removal does this perfectly because, as it open the skin pores, it enters the follicle allowing the hair to be removed from the root.
If you are to undergo wax hair removal for the first time, you should expect that hair will grow back after three to six weeks. But before proceeding for another wax hair removal procedure, take note that the hair must be at least one-quarter of an inch.
Initially, it is recommended that a conditioning lotion is applied before carrying on to wax hair removal. Then hot wax is spread over into the skin (preferably in small areas) then covered with cloth strips. If wax is already hard around each hair strand, quickly pull off the cloth in the opposite direction of hair growth.
A lot of beauty practitioners said that whenever a patient is tense during the wax hair removal treatment, hair follicle closes disabling the wax to reach the root of the hair. So they highly suggest that you relax yourself prior and during the wax hair removal process. After the said process, it is also advised to apply gentle pressure to the waxed area with your hands or you may also apply ice to relieve the pain.
Getting a regular wax hair removal treatment will help you become accustomed to the process.
