Waxing is an ideal way to remove unwanted hair. It’s a quick, effective, and sanitary process. But how long should you wait between waxes? Here, we’ll discuss how long you should wait between visits.
What Do I Need to Know?
Each person is different, and what works for your best friend may not be the case for you. What you were doing, such as shaving, before your first waxing services appointment impacts the results you receive. It also affects how long you should wait between visits. The area you are having waxed makes a difference too. The hair on each area of your body is different. It has different textures and grows at different rates. These factors impact what your waxing schedule should be. When waxing, you must have some hair growth to facilitate effective removal. The rule of thumb is you should have a quarter inch of hair growth before visiting your waxing technician.
How Long Should I Wait?
The length of time you should wait between waxing appointments is going to depend on the number of visits you have had. There will be less time between your first and second visit than there will between your third and fourth visit. In general, you can expect your wax to last anywhere from three to six weeks. Typically, it’s recommended that there are about three to four weeks between visits one and two. Then you can have four to five weeks between visits two and three.
Consistency
Once you start the waxing services process, you are beginning a treatment plan. It is critical that you maintain this plan. You want to only wax. You should not shave or pluck between visits. If you do this, you are essentially going to have to start all over again. You should expect it to take about two to three visits before the hair growth is removed. Stick to the plan and you’ll have smooth skin in no time!
Once you start waxing sessions, it is best to stick with it. You can help the process along by keeping these tips in mind. Consistency and not shaving are critical to your waxing success. If you’re unsure when to book your next appointment, don’t hesitate to contact us today.
