Waxing Q&A: Stubble after a body wax

I have been waxing for several years. I usually do my own underarm and bikini wax. When I came in to do the hair removal "works” — which I did twice before a recent trip — I still came out with stubble everywhere, despite the fact that my bikini line and underarms are usually smooth when I do them at home. What could cause this and how can I prepare my skin so that I don’t get left with stubble?

Yours is a tough question because there are so many variables. Without more detail, it’s difficult to assess what might be causing the problem. When I hear about your situation, three questions come to mind:
1. Were you shaving or waxing prior to your appointments?
2. How long did you wait in between waxes before coming in?
3. The two times you waxed before your trip, were either of those waxes successful or was there stubble after each of your visits?

In general, stubble can happen for several reasons:

• First, some or all of the hair may not be long enough for the wax to adhere to. When this occurs, the hair that is long enough to stick to the wax gets removed, but the shorter hairs still remain.

• Second, if someone has coarse hair, multiple waxes are needed to soften the hair enough for it to lift out of the skin and leave a smooth feeling. Prior to this “conditioning,” or softening of the hair through multiple waxings, the hair can break off and create stubble.

• Third, a good exfoliation is needed before waxing to make sure there is no dry skin trapping the hairs. Dry skin can prevent the wax from properly adhering to the hair.

I hope you found this information helpful. As I said before, there are variables that I’d like to know more about. Please feel free to contact me directly at our Denver location (303.592.2929); we can discuss it in more detail and hopefully pinpoint the cause.

Thanks,

This is a major reason why many people have starting using laser hair removal. Although it is more expensive then waxing, it last forever. In the end it will save you money because you will only have to do it once. You will not have to worry about stubble ever again. Waxing can be painful, and many people don't like to have to go back over and over again to get it done. This information is good for people who don't mind going through the waxing process. However, if you still have a lot of problems with waxing, you may want to think about laser hair removal.

hmm... maybe you were allergic to the wax that they used? did you exfoliate before and after your brazilian waxing? moisturizing helps your skin to cope up with the stubble hair. geeeez, I hate it when that happens to me. tsk
