Why should I wax my underarms?

Why You Should Wax Your Underarms Instead of Shaving

A question I get asked all the time: what's the point of waxing your underarms?

Your underarms are such a small area on your body, but they can cause so much grief. We're about to enter summer season, which means sleeveless tops and bikinis. Which means your armpits are going to be on full display.

The last thing you want is for anyone to see stubble or, even worse, an ingrown hair.

Why Waxing Is Better Than Shaving

When you wax, the hair is removed from the bulb. That's a game changer.

Here's why:

No More Five O'Clock Shadow

When you shave, you're only cutting the hair at the surface. That means you still have hair underneath the skin that you can't quite shave off. That's what causes the dark undertone or shadow you see even after shaving.

When you wax, you remove the hair from the bulb deep in the follicle. That means no more dark undertone. Your underarms actually look lighter because the hair is completely gone.

It Grows Back Slower

Shaving cuts the hair at the surface, so it grows back quickly. You're shaving every day or every other day just to keep up.

Waxing removes the hair from the root, so it takes weeks to grow back. You're not constantly worrying about stubble or scheduling your life around shaving.

No More Ingrown Hairs

When you shave, the hair grows back with a blunt edge, which makes it more likely to get trapped under the skin and become an ingrown hair.

When you wax, the hair grows back with a tapered edge, which is softer and less likely to cause ingrowns.

Is It Worth It?

Totally.

When you factor in the time, the razors, the shaving cream, the constant maintenance, and the frustration of stubble and ingrowns, waxing is absolutely worth the price.

Your underarms are small. The service is quick. And the results last weeks, not hours.
