Can waxing cause ingrown hairs? I would like to get waxed but I've heard that it causes ingrown hairs that are supposed to be painful. Any advise...
Waxing can and does cause ingrown hairs. The following happends - waxing is one of the best and longest forms of temporary hair removal and the hairs will return in fewer numbers and softer or less course. Although waxing pulls most of the hair out from the root system, some of the hair is merely snapped off and often snapped off below the first couple of layers of skin. The skin starts to heal over within hours and the hair follicle that has been snapped off starts to grow back and hits the surface then starts to make it's way back down. This causes the red inflamed and sometimes infected bumps we see after certain treatments like waxing and shaving, for example. As others have mentioned I cannot stress enough the importance of exfoliation (I exfoliate my entire body including my face every couple of days it is just good practice regardless)
Exfoliation will remove any dead skin cells and keep the skin fresh and alive and allow for the hair follicles that have been snapped off during a waxing treatment to grow rather than attempt to push through the thin layer of skin that has grown over. It is wise to exfoliate before a waxing treatment also but not right before (up to 4 hours before a treatment should be fine) and the next day after a waxing treatment is is recommended to exfoliate also for all the above reasons.
If done correctly by a waxing specialist who knows what they are doing then having any area of your body waxed feels great, in particular our genital areas. It leaves this area feeling very smooth and for far longer than any other treatment such as shaving. It is normal for little red spots to appear after a waxing treatment so don't stress as within an hour or two (in some people only minutes) they will dissaprear and sometimes tiny blood spots can appear on the surface of the sking too and again don't stress you certainly won't bleed to death! Haha
There are two types of wax used when waxing the body and both have their merits and are better on certain areas of the body. Strip wax is the wax that is used either warm or cool (usually warm) depending on the brand and is the consistency of honey, spread very thinly with the correct instrument along the flow of the hair growth, then a thin sheet of special waxing cloth or material is place over the top and smoothed down firmly then ripped off against the grain of hair growth in a upward but very oblique angle and very quickly. A good waxing specialist will then quickly rub the area that has just been waxed to desensitise it to minimise any pain. Strip wax is great for areas of hair growth on the body that are more course such as chest, back, upper and lower legs, upper and lower arms etc.
Hot wax is also the consistency of honey when hot and when cooled it solidifies. Imagine hot candle wax but the consistency of honey. Unlike strip wax, hot wax is applied to the area of hair growth, then left to set. The hot wax sets on the body within couple of mins and the hair growth is 'stuck' in the wax. The set hot wax is then ripped off and voila! Again, a good waxing specialist will rub the surface of the area that has been stripped of the hair growth to desensitise it to minimise pain. Hot wax is better used on genitals, arm pits, face and eyebrows etc.
If you seek the services of a qualified waxing specialist that knows what he or she is doing then the waxing treatment will be quick and not as painful as you would think and the levels of pain felt during a waxing treatment is but a small discomfort to endure for a glowing result. It is also recommend to apply a good moisturising lotion after a waxing treatment to rehydrate the skin. I waxed my own pussy yesterday and it feels amazing!
