Are you thinking about making the switch from shaving to waxing? Put this into perspective: nearly seven million Americans paid for professional waxing services at least four times within six months in 2019. With so many people jumping on this form of hair removal, you’re not alone in wanting to give it a try.

Here are some facts that waxing professionals wish you understood about your hair, so take this information into consideration before your first waxing appointment.

Waxing Causes Your Hair to Grow Back Finer

The reason so many people make the switch from shaving to waxing is that the latter option causes your hair to grow back much finer. So, if you despise stubble, waxing is the way to go. Over time, the hair will come back even finer, making each waxing session faster and easier.

Let Your Hair Grow Before Your Initial Appointment

Many people think they need to shave before their initial waxing appointment. However, this isn’t the case because you’ll cut it too short, making it more difficult for the waxing studio to do their job. Instead, leave every aspect of hair removal to the professionals. They are ready to make you feel comfortable during your appointment, so there’s no need to prepare ahead of time.

Ingrown Hairs From Waxing Are Preventable

Ingrown hairs are caused by incorrect follicle growth, hairs grow back into the skin and cause irritation. While they commonly pop up, they’re also preventable. To help prevent ingrown hairs after hair removal, you should:

• Wear loose clothing for the days leading up to your waxing appointment
• Avoid perfumes and hot showers for the days following your waxing session
• Gently exfoliate the areas that were waxed a few days after the appointment
• Remain hydrated
• Avoid scratching, picking, and plucking the waxed area(s)
