According to the search results, hair needs to be at least 1/4 inch long, or around the size of a grain of rice, before it can be waxed. If hair is too short, the wax wont be able to adhere to the surface of the hair and pull it out completely, which can lead to repeat pulls in an effort to get more hair out, causing irritation to the skin. On the other hand, if hair is longer than 1/2 inch long, it might be too long to wax, and areas of hair might get left behind. Therefore, it is recommended to grow hair out to at least 1/4 inch long, but no longer than 1/2 inch long before waxing.
Positive aspects of waxing include that it is an effective way to remove unwanted hair growth and work towards getting rid of it for good at an affordable price. Waxing can also leave legs smoother and ensure that all hairs are removed on the same cycle, so theyll grow back at the same time.
Negative aspects of waxing include that waxing long body hair can cause missed hair, breakage, and ingrown hair. Leaving the wax on for too long can cause it to lose malleability and go dry and brittle, snapping hair instead of removing it. If hair is too long, it might be too painful to wax, and if it is too short, it might not be successfully pulled out, leading to irritation.
