There is a misconception that any hair removal causes re-growth to become more coarse
than before. Although vellus hair can be stimulated to become terminal hair,
this is usually not the case. The misconception came about from the use of
shaving to remove hair. Shaving cuts the hair at the skin's surface and since
hair grows from the bottom of the follicle, the cut hair is now thicker at the
top giving the impression that the hair is actually growing thicker. This is why
a man's stubble is very hard and rough while a beard is much softer. With other
depilatory methods where the hair is removed from the follicle, the new hair
will have the normal fine tip.
Further, with continued removal of new hair growth by waxing for example, there is a decline in the number of hairs that actually re-grow, so not only is re-growth finer, it is more sparse.
WAXING
Wax hair removal is popular among clients because it is quicker than other
methods of hair removal, especially where large areas of hair are to be removed.
The heated soft wax is applied quickly to the skin with a spatula (for eyebrows
etc. a wooden orange stick is used) and then a muslin strip is pressed over the
wax and then lifted in a single fast pull against the direction of the hair
growth to remove the hairs from the follicle. There is some momentary discomfort
as the strip is removed and there will be some reddening of the skin which may
last for a couple of hours. At Warren's, when the waxing is completed, we apply
our own Sofblend gel to calm the skin and reduces any redness. Hair re-growth
becomes finer and more sparse after regular treatments.
