Debunking the 5 common misconceptions about waxing



When summer comes calling we all turn to our trusted wax strips to flaunt the perfect legs in that cute summer midi dress. But if the waxing horror stories and myths you hear from your circle of friends stops you from getting the perfect legs, read on as the waxing misconceptions are debunked.

Myth #1 Waxing makes your new hair grow thicker

It's high time this common misconception is busted, in fact waxing has the opposite effect on your skin. Unlike shaving, regular waxing makes your hair grow softer and sparse as waxing works like exfoliation at the root level. It pulls your hair with its roots thus weakening your hair follicles and reducing hair regrowth.

Myth #2 Waxing prevents ingrown hairs

This is only partly true because waxing cannot directly prevent ingrown hairs. However, exfoliating your skin before a wax can help reduce ingrown hairs. Add Hair Puller Ingrown Hair Treatment Spray by Starpil to your waxing regimen to prevent ingrown hairs. Sensitive skin is more prone to ingrown hairs caused by shaving. Waxing with Starpil’s blue wax is the best hair removal method for those with sensitive and dry skin.

Myth #3 Waxing leads to wrinkles and sagging skin

This is the major waxing myth that keeps a lot of women from waxing facial hair, but now you can take a sigh of relief as it is found to be untrue. While waxing the skin is held taut by the technician to keep it from tugging at the skin. It is important to invest in a good facial waxing kit as your facial skin is more sensitive than the rest of your body.

Myth #4 You have to grow out your hair to wax it

Not necessarily. Hair that is the length of a grain of rice is enough to get a smooth wax in just one go. But even hair that is as short as 1mm can be removed with Starpil's range of hard wax.

Myth #5 Pregnant women can't wax

You can go unperturbed with your waxing routine even if you're expecting, as waxing is safe at all stages of pregnancy. But you will thank yourself for getting your waxing done in the first two trimesters. Come third trimester you will hardly be able to get a good look waist down with your growing belly obstructing the view, let alone waxing.

Make sure you always use the best wax quality for rash and irritation-free waxing.
