Waxing is one of the most commonly received salon treatments. Though many consider it to be one of the most trustworthy hair removal treatments, there are various myths surrounding it. We, at Kurves, provide treatments that are safe and efficient, and hence, we are on a mission today to pull off myths about waxing.

  1. Waxing really hurts — This is the most feared and widely held myth about waxing. Of course, there is pain because your hair is being pulled off, but it is very minimal and it gets over before you even register it! Professionals have tricks to ensure that the pain is minimal.
  2. Hair grows back thicker — We all know someone who believes that waxing makes the hair grow back thicker and darker. On the contrary, the hair grows back finer and sparse. The more you get waxed, slower the rate of hair growth is! After a point, you will not require waxing appointments at frequent intervals.
  3. Waxing harms the skin — There are minor side-effects like itching and redness of skin, but all of this disappears within hours. In fact, waxing exfoliates your skin, removes dead cells, and doesn’t cause any long-term or permanent damage to the skin.
  4. Exfoliation is not required — Prepping your skin before the appointments really helps. All you need to do is scrub and exfoliate your skin. This is all the more necessary for people who have ingrown hair.
  5. Waxing causes dark underarms — Underarms turn dark due to shaving and hair removal creams. Waxing, on the other hand, removes hair from the root and cleans the area hence making the area look fairer.
  6. Waxing causes skin to wrinkle — Many clients are sceptical that pulling and tugging on the skin during waxing can cause wrinkles and sagging.In reality, pulling out hair doesn’t cause any long-term issues as the skin is held taut during the procedure.
  7. Waxing is only for the young — Waxing has no age, gender, or skin tone restrictions.It is for everyone. More than a grooming service, waxing is important for hygiene purposes too. So, don’t hold back. Get your waxing appointment with Kurves and enjoy smooth, soft skin at any age!
  8. It’s an expensive hair removal method — How do we compare the cost? If you look at the price of the new razors, you will know how expensive they are. Also, when you remove hair with a razor, it requires daily maintenance. While it might look like waxing is expensive, it is definitely not in the long run. You only need to go for appointments every few weeks. Moreover, waxing weakens the hair follicles as time goes on and may even stop hair growth!

Pulling off months of hair growth is easier than pulling off myths about waxing. Waxing is one of the safest and easiest methods of hair removal. If you are still not sure, try it for yourself! Book a waxing appointment at Kurves and get rid of unwanted hair and myths!
