A popular hair remover among women is waxing. The wax is heated and while warm is spread across the area where hair is to be removed. This is used on unwanted facial hair and hair on legs and arms, and the bikini area. Waxing gives better results. The skin surface feels smooth to the touch and hair re-growth is observed after three days to a week. There are several variations when using wax hair remover. If hard wax is used, there is no need to use strips to peel off the wax. Softer wax, which is commonly as facial hair removal are stripped off with waxing strips just as it is done in beauty salons. However, most individuals shy away from this procedure because it is excruciatingly painful and the result is not permanent though it takes a little longer for hair to grow back. The torturous procedure has to be repeated when hair is long enough to be waxed and that would entail waxing every other week, depending on how fast hair grows back.
