Stop Shaving Pubic Area and Start Waxing?

Question: Stop Shaving Pubic Area and Start Waxing?

Answer: Since you are only taking hair even with the skin with shaving, it comes back above the surface very quickly. Waxing, however removes the entire hair follicle from the root. Since you are looking for longer lasting results, waxing is the better method. Exactly how long the hair stays away will vary.

Waxing Lasts Longer than Shaving Pubic Area

Hair grows in cycles: growing, resting and shedding. When you first start waxing, it will last about two weeks. But if you continue to wax every two weeks and get the hair in the same cycles, it will be gone for up to six weeks. This isn’t the case for everyone, as some people just have faster growing hair than others. Waxing an area frequently over time can also damage the hair follicle, and cause it to stop growing hair.

You can wax your bikini area at home, if you are just taking the hair outside your bikini line. Keep in mind by waxing your own bikini carefully following instructions is a must for the longest lasting results. You could end up breaking hairs above or below the surface, and they will "grow" back much quicker than if the entire hair follicle was removed.

If you want most or all of your hair removed, that’s called a Brazilian wax, and you should have that done professionally. There are many bikini waxing styles, from a little to a lot off.
