Waxing
Waxing removes the hair follicle root and all, below the skin surface. It is probably the most painful of all hair removal methods, but because the follicle starts growing from fresh , as it passes through the skin surface it feels much finer as the tapered tip of the hair comes out first. Waxing is quite long lasting, but is definitely not as permanent as laser hair removal or electrolysis. Waxing legs for example can be done in intervals of 2 weeks or more at least. From waxing to full length hair growth again can be several months though, and for hairy men who want to do areas such as chest or back or even arms and legs, this can be a good thing, as there is much more time between waxing procedures than if you chose to shave these areas.
Waxing can be carried out in the privacy of your own home using over the counter products that come in various forms. Pre-impregnated wax strips can be bought that are simply heated in the hand prior to applying and then firmed against the skin before pulling off. Blank wax strips that are used in conjunction with either rolled on heated wax or spread on wax from a jar. Pre-impregnated wax strips are simple to use and largely mess free which makes them a good alterative to the old jar waxes, which need to be heated up separately then smoothed onto the skin before applying the separate cloth strips.
