Why Should I do the Waxing?

Waxing is the most effective method for temporary hair removal, since hair is removed from it's roots.At FTWS, we use home made wax. Home made wax does not contain any chemicals or preservatives. Thus unlike commercial wax, one should not be prone to redness or itchiness. Hot wax contains sugar so it is easier to remove and better results are obtained compared to cold wax.

Do let the consultant know if you have used a moisturiser or deodorant on the area to be waxed. A thin layer of wax is applied to the area with unwanted hair in the direction of hair growth. A cloth strip is applied over the wax strip and than ripped off quickly against the direction of hair growth. For best results, hair should be 6mm in length. An antibacterial lotion is applied after waxing.

Hair removal after waxing is effective for a period of 3 - 6 weeks. The new hair that grows after a few weeks is softer, lighter and sparser since some hair roots are permanently destroyed. Since the top layer of dead skin cells are removed, the skin is also smoother and softer.

Waxing is not encouraged on persons who have diabetes, since it may result in infection or on persons with a sensitive skin. It cannot be done on skin which is broken and irritated.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF WAXING

• Hair takes a longer time to grow back after waxing, because the hair is removed from the root.. It takes around 4 - 6 weeks to grow back and sometimes even longer.
• Waxing slowly reduces the growth of hair, so the more often you wax, the slower your hair growth.
• Gradually over an extended period of time, the hair may even stop growing in the waxed area.
• Wax is made from natural ingredients like sugar, lemon and water as opposed to depilatories (hair removal cream and lotions), which are made from harsh chemicals that burn the hair. Sugar and lemon are both beneficial for the skin.
• Dead skin is removed in the process of waxing. Waxing thus doubles as an effective exfoliator.
• The skin feels smooth after waxing.
• Compared to other saloons who offer waxing services, the cost of service at FTWS is kind to one's pocket.  :-)
