When it comes to removing unwanted body hair, shaving seems to be a part of nearly everyone’s routine. We shave it off, but it grows right back. So when a longer-lasting result is needed, what do we do? Well, most of us go get a hot wax. It’s unpleasant – I can’t think of anyone who enjoys it – but it works. But what about sugaring? How does it work? Is it a good option? Let’s take a quick look at each one to determine which is best for you.
What is Waxing?
First things first: If you’re not familiar with waxing, it is the process used to remove areas of body hair by pulling them out from the root. A warm oil-based wax is spread across the skin and then covered with a strip of muslin cloth. When the wax is cooled, the strip is quickly separated from the skin, bringing the dried wax and unwanted hair follicles with it.
