Waxing is a temporary method of hair removal which removes the hair at the root. New hairs do not grow back in the waxed area for up to three to eight weeks. Almost any area of the body can be waxed, including eyebrows, face, bikini area, legs, arms, back, abdomen and feet.
Waxing is accomplished by spreading a wax combination thinly over the skin. A cloth or paper strip is pressed on the top and then pulled off with a quick movement against the direction of hair growth. This removes the wax along with the hair and dead skin cells leaving the skin smooth.
New hair growth in waxed areas is soft and fine, not sharp and coarse like shaved hair.
