Both men and women shave and in either case it’s not ideal.
When you shave each hair is cut off flush with the skin and as it grows out, which is very quickly, the end of each hair is like a chisel point. This is why stubble develops and why it causes irritation and even damage to clothes.
With waxing, the hair is extracted from the root, so it takes much longer to grow again. Equally important, the new hair grows with a rounded tip, so the regrowth is not sharp and the new hair is weaker too.
Good reasons to get waxed, ladies and gentlemen!
