Waxing 101 For Men
We get it, Kings. You’ve heard of waxing before and maybe you want to dip your toes in the water and try it, but maybe you feel a little apprehensive about trying it. We get it, but there’s no need to worry. We’ve got your back here at The Kingdom (literally, we can wax it) and we’re here to work through any fears you have to ensure you’re ready for your first waxing appointment:
Why Choose Waxing?
You may be wondering: What’s so special about waxing? What is waxing going to do for me? Is it worth it? And these are completely valid questions. Here’s a few reasons why you should try waxing:
Long-Lasting
Have you ever shaved in the morning and already feel the hair growing back by the night? Yeah, that’s not going to happen with waxing. Basically, what waxing does is remove the hair from the root. This results in the hair not growing back for a few weeks. The hair growth rate varies from person to person, but typically ranges from 3 to 6 weeks. The less time spent on continuously shaving, the more time you have to do what you love and enjoy your life.
Better Hair Regrowth
If you stay consistent with your waxing routine, your hair will grow back finer, lighter, and softer over time. No more stubble. Waxing will become less painful and easier with each session due to the better hair regrowth.
See Ya, Skin Irritation
It’s the worst feeling when shaving leaves your skin feeling irritated from razor burn, ingrown hairs, or cuts. It depletes our confidence walking around with red and inflamed skin. Waxing is an alternative solution for this problem since there are no razor burns or cuts that come along with it. It’ll leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. No need to worry, happier skin is on the way.
Improved Hygiene
We all get smelly from time to time – it happens, especially after an intense workout or spending all day in the sun. Our hair traps the bacteria when we sweat, which may cause us to get a little extra stinky. A shower fixes all, but if you want to go the extra mile, waxing can help reduce body odor.
Show Off Your Muscles
If you’re spending hours working hard in the gym and building muscle, you might want to show off your dedication with a wax. With the removal of body hair, your muscles will be more visible and pronounced. Flex your back muscles, kings.
Tips for Aftercare
Apply a moisturizer to help soothe the skin after (aloe vera is a great option.) To reduce the risk of ingrown hairs, be sure to exfoliate your skin regularly.
Waxing helps many kings feel more confident in their appearance and satisfied with the easy maintenance it brings. Do what feels best for you and what makes you feel confident!
