Shaving is an easy and
painless way of hair removal, however, the results are uncertain and the skin
is often damaged due to slight razor burns or small cuts. Waxing, on the other
hand, yields better results for as long as a month, depending on how hairy you
are.
Before you wax…
You need to have a certain volume
and length of hair before you hit the wax center. Underarm waxing requires a
certain hair length to enable the wax to hold on to the hair strands, making
the stripping easier. You need to have about ¼ of an inch or longer to make
sure you strip out more hair from the roots. When the hair is too long,
trimming will be done first.
Wax on, wax off.
You can choose from different
types of wax for underarm waxing. The best method to go about underarm waxing
is the use of hot wax, involves heat (Don’t worry. It won’t burn), which makes
application easier and will open the pores to make the whole process almost
pain-free. Preparations such as soaking your armpits with a hot towel before underarm
waxing can help by softening the hair and making hair easier to pull. Make sure
to dry off well before underarm waxing.
Soothing the skin after waxing…
People’s thresholds differ
from one another so your level of comfort depends on your affinity with pain. For
first timers, underarm waxing can be a great experience with the right waxing
center. If you have a very low threshold for pain, two doses of ibuprofen 30
minutes before underarm waxing will lessen any discomfort but professional
waxing centers have their way of soothing the skin immediately after stripping
off the wax.
The process…
The proper way of hair
removal is important as the results rely on it. Your underarms are embedded
with lymph nodes and sensitive nerve endings as well. The first step in underarm
waxing is to apply the wax to the direction of your hair growth and ripping
them off in the opposite direction. The more you wax, the lesser you’ll feel
since hair will eventually grow finer.
Post waxing to-dos…
Application of astringents, lotions,
oils, etc. is a big no-no after waxing. A cooling moisturizer is the
recommended regimen for the pain and the redness after the waxing process. Make
sure to exfoliate after underarm waxing to avoid ingrown hairs.
