Does Hair Grow Back Thicker After Waxing?
The fact is that hair removal has no influence on hair growing back thicker. Especially, waxing for the first time, it technically doesn’t become more coarse but still, it depends on our body and how your hair follicles work. Hair growth may be more sparse after waxing as all the follicles take different times to grow the hairs back.
Is Waxing Better Than Shaving?
Unless pain is the only counting factor, waxing is a better option than shaving. ‘Cause waxing pulls out the hair from the root and takes 2-4 weeks to regrow. Whereas shaving helps to remove hair just from the surface of the skin. So they regrow within a week or 10 days.
What Does a Brazilian Wax Include?
A brazilian wax removes nearly all of the hairs from the pubic area. It includes the whole front part, lady bits, buttocks and bum line.
Can You Get Waxed During Your Period?
Yes, you can have a bikini wax during your periods (though brazilain may not be a good idea). However, skin tends to be more sensitive during periods, then it’s better to avoid bikini waxing at least during the first two days of your period. Technically, even getting a brazilian wax is possible during your period. However, it may be difficult for your aesthetician and very unhygienic, so avoid.
So this is all about the bikini wax or brazilian wax. Which one you’re planning to get it done for yourself? And what are your brazilian waxing experiences that we can learn from (or laugh with)? Let us know by tweeting @shilpa1ahuja!
