Hair removal is a pain in the…! Shaving can cause all those unwanted things such as major razor bumps, faster hair growth, and prick-lies! Waxing is an amazing alternative! Check out these 3 major reasons on why waxing is better than shaving!

1. Waxing, unlike shaving, removes the hair follicle which makes it take longer for the hair to grow back. Shaving only gets the hair on top of the skin and not the root. The hair, from waxing, grows back thinner and slower since the root was taken out,  while when shaving it seems like in a blink of an eye, its back! Over time waxing can also reduce your hair growth meaning less and less will grow back as you continue to wax.

2. Waxing takes away all dead skin cells. This results in smoother and more even skin (No Razor Bumps)!

3. Saves time! Many believe that waxing takes a long time, WRONG! Your first waxing experience may take a little longer since your waxer will go at the pace you feel comfortable with, but your next few times will be quick, short, and sort of sweet. Brazilians only take about 20-30 minutes! So once a month, for only 30 minutes you have to remove your hair, sounds good to me! Also as a tip, be very aware of the waxing center you choose. Make sure they are clean, never reuse any waxing strips, and are professionals!

Overall Waxing leaves your skin looking and feeling better. It beats shaving by a long shot! Try it out!
