Waxing

Should I shave or should I wax?

Although the results are fairly similar, there’s one key difference: how long they last. On average, waxing lasts around 3 or 4 weeks because the hair is removed at the root. Hair grows back much faster with shaving, though — within 3 days to a week. This is because shaving only removes the top layer of the hair.

How often should you wax?

What is the main purpose of waxing?

The best known benefit of waxing is that the hair doesn’t grow back very quickly. Waxing removes the hairs from the root. With shaving, the hairs are cut off close to skin level. Even with a very close shave, this still leaves a considerable amount of the hair just below the surface ready to appear in a day or two.
