With a plethora of hair removal products on the market some people may still be wondering why hot wax hair removal has lasted so well. It is not a perfect system however, but overall the benefits outweigh the failings. The greatest benefit which remains to this day is that wax removal is still inexpensive. Using a razor isn't the most pleasant of ways to remove unwanted hair and not very nice when you cut yourself!

This usually happens before a special engagement, too. Still, a guy has to worry about the dreaded 5 O'clock shadow, not something that concerns you if you have wax removal. The best part about using hot wax hair removal is what happens when the hair grows back; it gets progressively thinner over time. From my point of view, the more often I wax then the less the hair returns.

Unlike shaving which increases the hair's growth. I know many people say how painful the hot wax hair removal method is but it is nowhere near as bad as it is portrayed. As alternatives to wax removal go, one of the worst is the Epilady. My theory is that a man who enjoys torture invented this little gadget. A long time ago when they first came out I was foolish enough to try one but I threw it away within a few seconds of using it, it just wasn't worth the pain.

I only tried hot wax hair removal after one of my college friends suggested I try it as it was how she removed unwanted hair. I'm so pleased I did try because you wouldn't get me returning to the other less convenient ways. Ironically, wax removal approaches have a bad reputation for causing great discomfort. However, this approach to removing unwanted hair really doesn't, especially if you compare it to the alternatives.

I noticed that shaved hair comes back with a vengeance. No system is perfect and the downside to the hot wax hair removal system is there is a little discomfort but not as much as critics would have you believe. When compared to the Epilday hair removal device, you'll understand what I mean. The person who thought up this evil little device must enjoy inflicting pain on others. I got rid of mine after using it once, very, very briefly.

Another benefit of waxing is being able to go to your favorite salon for treatment. It’s a way to pamper yourself while getting the results you are looking for.
