Shaving Is Just a Quick Fix

Shaving will get the job done, and it will get it done quick.  But you have to be very careful to get a smooth shave. If you want your skin smooth and hair free, you need to soak it, use the correct shaving gel for your skin, and shave slowly against the hair with a sharp razor.

Many people do not have time for this everyday, and that is where the problems occur. Patches are missed, (don't you hate that? When I used to shave I would always miss my ankle, and not notice it until I was out), skin is gashed and left with a scab, or the shave just isn't close enough and your left with sharp stubbles. So much for smooth skin.

 

Speaking of stubble, shaving cuts hairs at it's thickest part, so when it grows back it is coarser and rougher than before. And it will look darker, too, because the thick pinpoints of hair growing back are more noticeable.

Waxing, however, will pull your hair out at it's root, therefore the hair that grows back will be thinner and finer, and much less noticeable. It begins growing back at the follicle, so when the hair emerges, weeks later, it is tapered and less obvious, finer and softer.

The two different methods provide two very different results. With shaving hair grows back faster and the hair is coarse and thick. With waxing the hair grows back weeks later than shaving, and it grows back finer and softer.

Waxing will get you silky smooth with no bleeding, and no thick, sharp, ugly regrowth the next day. If you've been an avid shaver and you want something that lasts, consider letting your hair grow out about a ¼ of an inch, and book a wax at  Studio Urban Wax with one of our highly qualified estheticians.
