Waxing is a temporary method of hair removal, which removes the hair from the root. New hair will not grow back in about three to eight weeks. When the hair grows back it comes soft and thin. Continuous waxing also slows down the re-growth of hair. Almost any area of the body can be waxed, including face, legs, arms, underarms, back, abdomen and feet.

Waxing is done by spreading a thin layer over the skin. A cloth or paper strip is then pressed on the top and ripped off with a quick movement against the direction of hair growth. This removes the wax along with the hair and dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth. A hot wax also known as a soft wax directly applied to the skin. This waxing method is very beneficial to people who have sensitive skin.

It does hurt, but anything would hurt pulling your hair, it is the best way to remove your hair. A moisturizer or ice can always be used to soothe your skin. Or to clear the red bumps that appears to some people after wax.
