How often should I wax my legs?
Waxing can often be a welcome alternative to the daily task of shaving your legs. Waxing hurts, but considering the fact that you’re ripping off mass quantities of hair, it’s no surprise there’s pain involved. But one of the benefits of waxing is that it can last for weeks — much longer than many other hair removal techniques. Shaving removes hair at the surface of the skin, and hair removal creams remove hair just below the skin’s surface. Waxing, on the other hand, removes hair completely from the hair follicle, which is why it takes hair a while to grow back. In fact, many people can wait weeks before heading back to the salon to get their legs waxed [source: Roberts-Grey]. Most salons offer half-leg waxes — for hair above or below the knee — and full-leg waxes. A half-leg wax takes about 30 minutes
