Do You Really Need Some Arm Waxing?

When you read about services like arm waxing and hand waxing in a salon, you’d immediately wonder “who’d get this done?” It’s not like women can have extremely hairy arms that would be enough for them to remove them all. And for the men, they seem like they don’t care if their arms and hands look like that of an orangutan. So, why do people need these types of waxing services anyway?

Facts about Arm Hair

The arm has two types of hair: vellus and terminal. The vellus hair is thinner, shorter and often, without color. The terminal hair is coarse, long and has color. Younger girls and boys have predominantly vellus hair. But as we all grow older, most of the hair turns to terminal hair, which is brought about by hormonal changes.

Why Go Waxing?

For women, the increase of terminal hair can make them look manly or unfeminine. For men, they’d look untidy, unhygienic and unkempt. Unfortunately, even men can feel embarrassed about their thick arm hair especially when wearing T-shirts or short sleeve polos. Men and women need not hide behind cardigans, sweaters and long sleeves anymore. The best solution is to remove the hair through arm waxing or hand waxing.

But aside from the sheer embarrassment, there are other reasons why you should consider arm waxing or hand waxing. Here they are:

• It’s not sexy. Hairy arms and hands are no longer considered sexy unless you look like Brad Pitt, then the whole world won’t care how hairy you are. Women would prefer some chest hair and would accept natural hair growths in the legs and arms but that’s about it. If you believe that your arm and hand hair is too much, get them waxed. Don’t look like a werewolf in the city!

• Show your muscles. And by muscles we mean, forearm muscles. Show how toned your muscles are by removing the hair that’s getting in the way of your sexiness. Models and weight lifters get their hair waxed to reveal their perfectly toned bodies.

• Look fresh. Not to be biased but seeing a man filled with arm hair can cause a slightly negative impression. Of course, women always prefer seeing men clean and tidy. This also goes for women who are hairy. Men would like to see women more fresh and clean-looking too.

Arm waxing and hand waxing in Tampa is such a common procedure. Although first-timers will experience pain, this will go away with every waxing session you have. The best part of it all, hair won’t grow back in weeks and once the hair grows, it’s finer and thinner.
