Waxing 

Waxing is a semi-permanent method of hair removal that works by pulling the hair out from the root.

When you go for a professional waxing treatment the therapist will usually begin by heating up the wax, then using a spatula to spread it across the desired area for removal. Next, they will either leave the wax to cool before peeling it off or press a fabric strip down on top of the wax (depending on the area). At this point, the wax sticks to the hairs and is ripped away from the follicles in the opposite direction to hair growth. This usually prevents the hair from growing back for around 2-8 weeks, though it can be sooner than this depending on your individual hair growth cycle.
