how waxing is done?
So I finally found the courage to himself and decided to go for waxing. And now what to expect? First, if the hair is too long a technician will trim it. Then the wax is heated to allow it to spread easily and evenly over the skin in the direction of hair growth, a warm wax is applied to the area of waxing with a wooden stick. hair becomes embedded in wax, which cools and firms to hold hair. Further, the cotton strips are placed over the wax. wax is then quickly pulled off in the opposite direction of hair growth, plucking hairs from the follicle with dead skin cells. New hair growth in waxed areas is soft and fine. After repeated waxing, hair re-growth is less and less.
Typically, the process is more to be pretty quick - within 5 to 20 minutes (depending on the region waxed). As for the pain, it is very individual and depends on your personal threshold of sensitivity. You should, however, know that the reports range from uncomfortable to very painful. The good news is that you get some soothing cream or lotion after, which should help.
