Many people often sight television as the reason why they are nervous about trying to wax their hair for the first time. Often times television ads and movies show scenes of people getting hurt do to hair waxing. Pine Island residents should be aware that although waxing hair can be a little discomforting, it is not meant to be a painful experience or something that is excruciating. The amount of pain someone feels from hair waxing depends on where the body hair is being pulled from, and also how many areas they are going to be waxing. Here are some common question individuals have about waxing hair and the pain associated with it.
Can I Get Burns from the Hot Wax?
In order to get a hair waxing, Pine Island residents are going to have warm wax applied to the area and let it cool down a moment before it can be removed. Many people who are trying hair waxing for the first time often ask if they can receive burns from the hot wax that is applied to their skin. The hot wax used for hair removal is often heated up into a container similar to a fondue pot. The wax is heated to just the right temperature in order to keep the wax in an easy to handle state. The temperature of the wax in this container is no warmer than a hot bath or a hot shower.
Does Pulling Hairs Out Hurt?
Removing the hair is actually pain that people worry about when they are getting a hair waxing. Pine Island residents should be aware that having wax remove from their skin is a lot like using tweezers to pluck the hairs from your body. The only difference between these two methods is that waxing removes many more hairs at once, leading people to believe that it is more painful than having their hairs plucked from their skin.
