Hundreds of thousands of people have been getting their bodies waxed free of hair for hundreds of years (yes, hundreds! It has long been a common practice in many cultures and regions of the world including France, the Middle East, and other parts of Asia.) Women and men have been getting these treatments for a long time. It’s not as scary as one might think to go in and get a wax done. And the best part is that once you start, your hair will grow back less frequently and it will be thinner and softer when it does grow back. So to help you along, especially if you are new to waxing, here are the top three reasons to go get a wax right away.

Convenience
Most waxing sessions are not very long at all. If this is the first time you will be getting a wax, then it may take a little longer. But on average, a waxing appointment is less than an hour, depending on what areas you are getting waxed. It can take as little as 20 minutes, or up to about an hour. Either way, sixty minutes once every six to eight weeks is much easier than having to shave every single day. Getting a one time wax won’t immediately lead to other long-term benefits but it can have a nice short term effect, especially on your skin. The process also acts like an exfoliator and helps to get rid of dead skin cells.

Short Term Effects
As mentioned previously, a great short-term effect of waxing, apart from the obvious hair removal, is the removal of dead skin cells. Additionally, waxing works to pull hair out at the root, and completely eliminates the entire hair. With shaving, you will get a “five o’clock shadow” much like your gentlemen friends do. By the end of the day, or even midday, depending on your razor, chances are that you will have some uncomfortable stubble growing back. On your legs, bikini line, and/or underarms or anywhere else that you may routinely shave. When you shave, this acts much like trimming split ends from your head hair: the hair will grow back healthier, but also thicker and most likely longer, than before.

Long-Term Effects
Waxing also has some great long-term effects. When you wax for long enough, your hair will start to grow back softer and smoother. It will no longer be as thick or coarse; this is great news for ladies with thicker leg, bikini, and facial hair! Some women even claim that their hair stops trying to grow back altogether when they’ve been waxing for years.
