Brazilian Wax Misconceptions #4 - The Second Wax Wasn't As Good

Did you know that every hair on your body goes through a cycle? The hair grows, rest, and then falls out. Like a baby tooth, when that hair falls out, there’s another hair ready to come through behind it.

At your first wax appointment, most of that hair has been in the growing cycle. What that means is when we remove it, this wax will be exceptional (especially because we do those touch up strips.) It’ll take awhile for the next hairs to pop through.

Unlike shaving, these hairs will come through the surface of the skin one at a time and at different rates. One hair on the right, one on the left a day later, etc. You get the point. These hairs are at a finer point and much easier to deal with.

So, you’ve had a first great wax appointment and you’ve come back in at 4 weeks (which is the ideal point to come back.) Your wax is going to be half as painful as the first for a few reasons, one of which is that not all of the hair has grown back yet. Half the hair means half the pain, right?

So fast forward in a couple days. You will probably see a hair here and a hair there start popping through. Why? Well, because we weren’t able to wax those off when you were in at your last appointment. Your wax was just as thorough as the first, but you simply can’t wax hairs that are under the skin.

The key is to be very consistent (especially the first 3 waxes) so that we can try and fake out these hairs to all puff through right before your wax appointment, creating a smoother, longer lasting wax for you!

Let’s get started in helping you reduce irritation and ingrowns that shaving often causes. Today is the day to make that appointment with a Brazilian Wax expert. I can’t wait to meet you!
