Have you ever waxed your legs?

Question

I have never done it. How long until the hair grows back if you wax your legs? I shave my legs every other day and its just annoying. Would waxing be worth it?

Answer 1

I've waxed them and it didn't grow back for a couple of weeks. I think it's totally worth it. You're going to need to exfoliate and moisturize everyday because if you don't you'll get ingrown hairs and you don't want that. And I recommend getting it professionally done because it's going to hurt.

Answer 2

I have.  I am not sure how long it takes to grow back.  Not all hair grows at the same rate so it won't all grow back at once.  Yes waxing is better than shaving as it takes longer for the hair to grow back.  I suggest buying an epilator though.  It does the same job as waxing but has many advantages.  The first being that you don't have to wait for the hair to grow 5mm before removing it like waxing.  It only has to be 1mm if you buy a good one.  I don't understand what you are expected to do in between waxing if you want to wear a dress or skirt.  This way you shouldn't have that problem.  Also waxing is messy.  You can't wash off the wax, it has to be removed with baby oil which then leaves your legs oily.  Also, waxing can get expensive.  Although an epilator may cost you about $100 it will last years.  Another thing is, having a hot shower makes hair removal less painfull as it softens the skin.  Unfortuantely with waxing you can't use this method as the wax also sticks to the skin and can cause you to rip off skin as well as hair.  With a epilator it will be okay as it only grabs onto the hair, not the skin.  Also, as I mentioned before about hair growing at different rates - only the first time will be very painful.  Afer that, you won't have as much hair growing back at one time so it will be less painful as you have less hair.  I strongly recommend an epilator.

Answer 3

Don't do it, the pain is excruciating. And if it isn't done properly, you could get ingrown hairs. stick to shaving, or maybe even Nair. My friend waxed her legs and they were completely raw. Here's what she had to say for it "It hurt like a motherf**ker".

Answer 8

It takes about 2 weeks to grow back and looks smoother than after a shave

It also really doesn't hurt that much (personally, I think it hurts a bit more around the knees though)
