Life is not perfect, but your wax can be. Waxing has always been perceived as a luxury but in fact, it is a necessity.
In today’s world, we live in a time where we would like to wave with our arms high and to show off beautiful, smooth legs at the beach or around the pool.
The evolution of the waxing treatment dates back from 1150BC and originates from Egypt. During the Roman Empire, the lack of body hair was considered a sign of the classes. Wealthy women and men used razors made from flints, tweezers, creams, and stones to remove excess hair. In fact, even pubic hair was considered uncivilized which is why many famous statues and paintings of Grecian women are depicted hairless. Waxing then became popular in the 1960s. The debut of the use of wax strips to remove hair was launched. This quickly became the most popular method of leg and underarm hair removal due to its efficiency and effectiveness. It then became the new fashion trend which involved showing more skin.
We would all assume Brazilian wax was established in Brazil, isn’t it? Guess what … it originates from New York says Jonice Padilha, of the J sisters Salon in Manhattan. Perhaps the Brazilians made that look popular which is what lent the name to that region.
One would argue that we were born with hair on our legs. Yes, that is true, but imagine your legs with no hair. The amazing benefits of waxing include smooth and even skin. This is because waxing removes the whole hair right down to the root and when it grows back, it is thinner and tapered.
“But I shave and that works for me”. Oh yes, it does, but how often do you have to do it? And let us not talk about all the ingrown hairs and possible cuts that come with shaving. When you shave, the hair is cut in the middle of the follicle, therefore it grows back with a blunt feel, potentially causing ingrown hairs.
