It may be the last thing on our minds just now when our legs are mostly covered up but now is a great time time to grow out that leg hair to start on a waxing regime and you will reap the benefits in the summer months when the sun makes an appearance.
The feedback I have from clients that start to get waxed during the summer only is that its the growing out to have a length of hair that can be waxed is the most difficult part and then they resort to the razor or trousers! Having to wear a skirt while growing out leg hair for 4 weeks is pretty tough!
I had a few clients last year that started to be waxed in the winter in anticipation of the summer and also so they could go swimming without worrying about the leg hair! I'm pleased to report that these clients have seen a dramatic decrease in the speed of the hair growth and with some follicles without a hair.
I've probably advised a lot of clients on the following but its probably worth mentioning again so you know there is a positive payback for being waxed regularly.
Hair has three stages of growth when you come into the salon - there is the visible growth which we can see, feel! and wax with ease. The second stage of growth is that sitting just under the skin and not visible - this growth is the next batch of hairs you see a few days/weeks later (depending on your hair growth) and this batch of hair will be the next to be waxed. The third stage of hair growth is within the root and its still to make an appearance.
Any clients who advise they wish to start up a waxing regime are asked to return every 4 weeks and then after 3 sessions we should have all the hairs at the same level so the wax will then before even more effective.
If I feel a client can lengthen their next visit to 5 or 6 weeks I will let them know :)
By then the client will start to see their leg hair are not only finer but also slower to grow in and may even notice bald patches on areas where the follicle no longer grows.
I always recommend that clients don't shave in between waxes because it takes them two steps back. Shaving promotes hair follicles growth rather than decrease it so you can find yourself back to square one.
The keys to slowing down hair growth is to be waxed on a regular basis and be able to flash those legs this summer!
