What are the pros and cons of shaving and waxing? Which is for you? I hope this list helps you decide.
Waxing
- It takes longer for hair to grow back.
- When it does grow back, it tends to be finer and thinner.
- Hair has to be a certain length to be waxed, about 1/4 of an inch
- It can get messy, painful, and expensive
- You run the risk of ingrown hairs
- If you don’t know how to do it yourself, you have to find somebody who does
Shaving
- Quick – you can do it at your own pace
- The only supplies you need are a razor and some type of shaving gel
- Hair grows back faster than with waxing
- It’s very easy to cut yourself, depending on where you are waxing
- Discreet – you can do it private
- Hair comes back stubbled
