It’s not easy to say how many waxes it takes for hair growth to stop, because everyone will have different levels of hair growth. Some people who are experiencing hormonal changes will have hair that grows back after a few weeks of waxing, whilst others who are blessed with fine hair might find that it doesn’t grow back until six weeks after waxing.
It’s all about consistency. It’s highly unlikely for your hair to stop growing after a couple of waxing sessions, as your hair follicles haven’t been trained to understand that there’s no point in hair regrowth. Instead, you will find that your hair is likely to grow back thinner within the first few months of waxing sessions.
As there’s no guarantee that hair will stop growing back from waxing for everyone, it is said that most people will experience permanent hair loss after around a year of consistent waxing.
If you want waxing to stop hair growth, you have to be strict with a schedule to teach your hair follicles to stop producing hair. This includes waiting for your hair to grow back to at least ¼ or ½ inches long plus sticking to a schedule, which is usually between 3-6 weeks between each session. You must also not introduce any other hair removal methods throughout this time, as this will disrupt your hair growth cycle.
