Advantages: Regrowth is slower than with other methods of hair removal

Disadvantages: Painful

Waxing is a popular way for men and women to remove unwanted areas of hair from their body. It has been used for years and popular areas to wax include eyebrows, face, upper lip, underarms, bikini line, legs, arms and anywhere you want a smooth finish. Having had a few areas waxed i would say the most painful is actually the upper lip!

I've had my bikini line done a few times and as ling as you have a professional therapist it's really not embarassing at all - in fact i know a brilliant therapist who says she actually loves doing Hollywood bikini waxes!

It always hurts a bit but does give a really smooth finish. Unfortunately for me i just don't have the patience to wait for the hair to grow to a length that is suitable to wax - with the exception of my forearms - i can usually wait for these to grown back and contrary to what some people say my hairs actually seem to grow back lighter and less dense than before (I'm blonde anyway so this probably helps!)

I do think this is a great option for people who have never shaved before - perhaps young teenagers as a first hair removal idea but after that waiting for leg hairs to grow long enough to wax and having an unkempt bikini line is enough to drive you to your razor within days!

Summary: Good idea for some but not those who like to be hair free 24/7, 365 days a year
