Waxing provides smoother and longer-lasting results by removing the hair from the root, regrowth turnaround is a good 3 to 4 weeks. Waxing regularly over an extended period of time causes the hair to grow back thinner and finer because the hair is pulled from the root. Shaving cuts the hair right below the skin’s surface, the regrowth turnaround is about 1 week. Shaving causes a prickly feel days after shaving. Waxing is also healthier because it provides a physical exfoliation, removing lifeless surface cells.
