Body Waxing: How to be your Smoothest Next Summer

With the temperature changes, you are probably beginning to wear more jeans,

sweaters, tights and boots rather than skirts and tank tops. The fall

is one of the best times of the year to develop a steady body waxing

routine to include legs, arms and underarms.

First off, since you will be covering up more, you are able to grow

out that hair on your legs and underarms until your appointment and

not worry about exposing it to the world. By beginning in the fall,

you can normalize your waxing route, which helps hair on your legs,

arms and underarms become thinner and lighter over time. By the time

next summer hits, you will be waxing less, have thinner hair and have

less hair in that area.

Why it is Great to Wax Your Underarms

Besides that razor burn hurts when it rubs on your favorite shirts,

there are other benefits to waxing your arms and underarms. For one,

you are able to stay smoother longer. Then, you know that "5 o'clock

shadow" darkeness you can get under your arms from shaving? Well wave

good-bye! That darkness will disappear with waxing because the hair

comes out at the root.

Why it is Great to Wax Your Legs

Shaving only keeps you smooth a few days (if that). And it can create

razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Waxing every three to four weeks

during the fall and winter months will have you seeing silky, smooth

results during the winter, but also leave the hair thinner and

lighter for waxing during the summer.

Other Reasons to Body Wax

Professional body builders swear by waxing. One of their secrets is

that waxing helps you look more toned. Other athletes like

professional swimmers and cyclists wax their legs to help perform

better, but waxing also helps chafing during races.

Waxing Q&A: How to Overcome the "Hairy Look"

I love how smooth my legs feel after getting them waxed, but I find the growing out process difficult to bear. It’s summer time and I’d like to wear shorts but find it hard when I’m growing my leg hair out for my next appointment. Can you offer any tips to make the “hairy look” painless, and I’m not talking “ouch” pain, but self-confidence pain. What do you suggest?

You’re not alone, a lot of people ask our cerologists this same question!

When you get on a routine schedule of waxing every month the hair does start to thin out making it less obvious to you and to others. Truthfully, though, there's not much you can do to hide the grow-out in that last four or five days before a wax (maybe that’s where wearing longer pants and not sitting in direct sunlight comes in!). If you’re new to waxing I suggest you start in the fall/winter. The colder seasons provide a bit of “camouflage” – pants, boots, long skits – so it's easier in the beginning to hide your grow-out stage. By springtime your hair should be light enough to wear a skirt right up to your next waxing without anyone noticing.

It’s all about timing (when you start your waxing regime) and patience…and a little creative wardrobe adjustments! And, remember these two important things: one, the longer and more regularly you wax, the softer, lighter and thinner your hair grows back (so it’s less and less noticeable), and two, YOU probably notice the “unsightly” grow-out more than anyone else!!

Unfortunately the hardest part of waxing, especially in the summer, is letting your hair grow and the waiting in between appointments.  I wax my legs and I just try to plan my wardrobe accordingly. Skirts and shorts for the first 3 weeks then it's capris and lightweight pants the last week. Sometimes I don't care and wear shorts the whole way through :) of course my hair is blonde and I have been waxing for a while.
