There is a common misconception that waxing is only for women – however, that is far from the truth. In reality, men can benefit from the same health advantages by getting regular Brazilian waxes just as women can.
Should Men Wax? It's completely up to you. If it's something that you really want to try, go for it, but if you're not interested you don't have too. Wax only if YOU want to wax, there is nothing wrong with a bit of body hair.
Men should consider body waxing as an integral part of a healthy lifestyle and regular body care routine. Waxing these areas will also have a significant impact on your appearance outward and your self-esteem. Let's look at a few of the areas you should book for your first, or next, wax!
Waxing makes hair grow back lighter and softer. Lots of men prefer this experience over shaving daily. Waxing also doesn't cause razor burn, nicks, cuts, and any other irritation experienced with shaving. Back waxing is one of the most common waxing services for men.
When it comes to pubic hair, people groom it using a variety of methods including shaving, waxing, trimming, and laser removal. These methods can lead to ingrown hairs and infections though, so most gynecologists warn against them and recommend trimming or letting it be instead.
With waxing, a sticky wax is spread on the area of skin where the unwanted hair is growing. A cloth strip is then applied and quickly pulled off, taking the hair root with it. Waxing can sting a bit while it's being done, but the results last longer than with shaving or depilatories.
How long will the results last? After a client's first waxing, the results can last 3 to 6 weeks depending on the individual's hair re-growth rate. In most cases, hair growth is minimal during the first week or two and noticeably increases in the third and fourth week.
Waxing cons
Because the hair is removed at the root, some people say waxing is more painful than shaving. The hot wax can also burn your skin if you're not careful. Waxing can cause inflamed hair follicles, pain, redness, ingrown hairs and skin irritation.
The Pros Of Shaving "Down There"
Improved Hygiene: Without all that hair down there, keeping the area clean and free of sweat and bacteria is easier, which helps prevent unpleasant odors.
A male Hollywood wax will leave you 100% hair free with all hair removed from front, underneath & back (all the hair from the scrotum and anus); a male Brazilian will leave you almost bare! It's like a Hollywood, but leaving a small landing strip or triangle of hair at the front.
For the same reasons women choose to wax their intimate areas, many men do the same. It feels sexier and smoother, is much kinder to skin and more hygienic than shaving, and the results last much longer!
Pubic hair is removed with hot wax, also called hard wax. This type of wax is solid but malleable at room temperature and does not require a strip. Hard wax is applied in a similar fashion to strip wax, given a few seconds to harden and then pulled off.
The short answer is “yes”. The long answer is that it has its painful moments but not nearly as painful as you think. It's a quick pain and generally does not linger. The first wax is the most uncomfortable because you are a “newbie”, your hair and skin is not used to the procedure.
A fully executed male Brazilian also includes removing all hair from the scrotum, perineum, and anal region. The results typically last for about four to six weeks, so that gives you an idea of what your return on investment is. Waxing removes hair at the room, so prepare for a little redness afterwards.
They find it ultra-hot when you go hairless for their pleasure. Whether you got waxed to give your S.O. a sexy surprise or just to make sure no stray hairs peek out from your bikini while you're in Bora, it's a welcome sight in the sack, which Poks, 31, says “makes me want to get a test drive as soon as possible.”
Some guys only have to shave once a month. Very few guys will need to shave multiple times a week (we have a different recommendation for them in the next section). Most guys will end up shaving three to four times a month for the best results.
Male pubic hair is currently less "full bush" and more "clean-cut," which is the current trend. As a result, not all men should completely shave off their pubic hair because doing so can cause excruciating discomfort and even unpleasant skin conditions like razor burn or ingrown hairs.
It is not more hygienic to shave pubic hair. Some girls decide to remove it (as a personal preference) but there are no health benefits. In fact, there are risks associated with shaving your pubic hair including: razor burn (rash), redness, itching (from hair growing back), and infection in the hair root.
It's understandable that there will be a little embarrassment, especially for a first-timer as you may feel slightly uncomfortable being so exposed. Rest assured, our therapists have seen it all and, like a doctor or nurse, it's their job.
Erections can and do happen during intimate waxing and 99% of the time are absolutely nothing to worry about.
An ingrown hair may appear about a week after waxing. Ingrown hairs occur when the hair grows and reinserts itself into the hair follicle. Ingrown hairs can cause itchy and sometimes painful bumps that often look like pimples on the skin. Without treatment, ingrown hairs can become infected.
Simply, trim down your hair beforehand if it's slightly long to make the waxing experience more comfortable. Your therapist will take care of the rest. Also, remember that with regular waxing your hair will soon begin to feel thinner and sparser unlike shaving, which can leave the hair feeling stubbly, thick and itchy.
