But - especially for first-time waxing clients - there can be a lot of questions that your customers are just too embarrassed to ask - and that can hold them back from booking. So, for therapists looking to capitalise on the growing popularity of hair removal treatments across both genders, it's incredibly important that you're answering those questions your customers have to put them at ease well before they arrive at the salon, either on your website,…. We know it, you know it: beauty is for everyone.
But, for some reason, some men still think that certain beauty treatments are not for them. Last year, it was the second most booked treatment for men on Treatwell behind haircuts. Men are officially choosing to sharpen up body hair from head to toe. But the silky-smooth results keep men coming back for more. The less they have to do it though, the better.
But how long does waxing chest hair last? Six weeks is the average amount of time you can expect a waxed chest to last. There are certain factors that may cause this figure to vary.
But in general, six weeks is a safe bet. But I wanted to dive a little deeper. Having a good understanding of this topic is important for managing expectations and being patient. But as with any grooming habit, results improve with experience and time. But many men will notice some fine regrowth before this. Here are some reasons why. The time it takes for you to see regrowth is partially influenced by how many chest hair follicles are in a dormant phase when you wax.
Let me explain. The hair on your chest will often be in different stages of the growth cycle. Because of this, a significant number of your chest hair is actually lying dormant underneath the chest skin. Any shorter than this and those wax strips will just slip right off them.
So, they have no chance of being able to grip onto the hairs that are too short, or actually underneath the skin. Those hairs will start to sprout a few days or a couple of weeks after your waxing efforts, and it may cause you to lose faith in the method. There are plenty of DIY pre-made wax strips available in drugstores. Many beginners rush into buying them thinking the instruction leaflet will be good enough.
Whatever your threshold, back waxing does indeed hurt. But this anticipated pain can get minimized if you get your waxing done by a professional. Meaning it becomes easier over time. Also, hair growth also decreases in the case of regular waxing. Eventually resulting in just maintenance waxing, which is comparatively easier and quicker. With a more familiar sensation.
Your hair growth, with regular waxing, is also bound to become thinner and softer. And with thinner and softer hair, the discomfort and pain often associated with hair removal minimize.
In short, the more your wax, the less it hurts. But why should you subject your skin to the painful process of waxing when you can just as easily shave your hair?
Simply because waxing gets rid of hair from your roots. And that implies a longer hair-free phase. In the case of waxing, this is more or less six weeks. Taking into account important factors like age, genetics, how often you wax, etc.
Plus, shaving the back on your own is a very challenging task. So you require help. Sometimes, when hair is being waxed, it can break off above or even below the skin's surface. The length of hair, the type of wax used, the quality of wax used, and skill of the technician all can affect whether the hair will break. Although professionals can break the hair, it's much more likely that you will do so yourself if you do your own at a home session.
Hair that is broken has not been removed from the follicle, so you'll likely see hair much sooner than you thought you would when this happens. If it broke above the skin, then the results will last comparably to shaving. If it broke below the skin, you might have a couple of days before you see it. Professional waxing will get you the best results.
There are three stages of hair: growing, resting, and transitional. At any given time, approximately 80 to 90 percent of hair follicles are in the growth phase. The rest are either in the transitional phase two to three percent or in the resting phase 10 to 15 percent. It can even be above the skin and not long enough to be grasped.
In this scenario, waxing isn't going to be able to grasp these hairs and remove them. In the next few days or weeks to come, these hairs will become noticeable, although how noticeable depending on their thickness and color.
Even if the hairs are the same length, dark and thick hair will start to show much sooner than light and fine hair. You also want to make sure you are using the right products on your skin. One of the most important parts of the growth cycle is ensuring hair does not become ingrown, as ingrown hairs can be painful, unsightly, and may even leave permanent marks or even scarring on the skin.
If these hairs become trapped as they are regrowing they may become ingrown," says Patek. One ingredient we use in particular is Narcissus Tazetta Bulb Extract, which aids in attacking the regrowth of hair at the root," says Patek.
It's important to try your hardest not to shave in-between appointments. Waxing encourages the hair follicles to become weaker, making it easier to remove hair.
This will help control the pain and inflammation," says Akram. Ultimately, you're at the mercy of your body when deciding to schedule your next wax.
