After your first wax, your hair will be finer and more sparse than shaving regrowth, as well as easier to tolerate. Because the hair grows back finer and more sparse, you are less likely to get ingrown hairs. With shaving you cut the hair off bluntly at the thickest part, the base. This results in very coarse and uncomfortable regrowth. With waxing, because your hair has to completely regrow, it comes out fine and feathery. This is much less irritating to your skin and to the touch. In addition, with each waxing session, we will shut down a few hair follicles. Over time, fewer and fewer follicles will produce hair and the results can be permanent. YAY for less hair!!!
