Hair removal using wax extracts hair from the root. This method disrupts the hair growth cycle, resulting in a period of time before regrowth is visible. The duration of this period varies depending on individual factors. For example, hair on the legs may take longer to reappear than hair on the upper lip.
The extended period between hair removal treatments is a primary benefit of waxing. It offers a smoother skin surface for a longer duration compared to methods that only remove hair at the surface. Waxing has been practiced for centuries, with evidence suggesting its use in ancient civilizations for aesthetic and hygiene purposes, demonstrating its enduring appeal as a hair removal technique.
