The Boom In Male Waxing Popularity

It's becoming more and more common for men to wax their bodies. There are quite a few women out there today that aren't really into hairy guys, and guys are taking notice. When you see a fashion magazine or even a sports magazine, the photos of guys with their shirts off are almost entirely of guys who don't have any chest hair. Companies recognize the fact that women are more attracted to men without body hair so they use this in their marketing. And guys have a tendency to look at these ads are want to look like these guys that are in amazing shape.

Going to the spa isn't just for women anymore. As a matter of fact, spas are offering more treatments for men. These treatments include eyebrow waxing, chest and back waxing, as well as *ahem* genital waxing. This trend is increasing with men.

There are other ways for men to get rid on unwanted body hair. However, quite a few men resort to either shaving or waxing. Waxing is definitely the better option of the two because it keeps the hair away for longer. Shaving only gets rid of the hat the surface of the skin. Waxing removes hair from the follicle root, which winds up preventing the hair from growing back quickly.

Waxing is a very simple process that quite a few guys think is really painful. It can be at first, however the more often it's done the less painful it becomes. Common side effects are bumps, which are caused from ingrown hairs, as well as redness caused by irritation. You can prevent these side effects with proper care afterwards though. It's important to keep the waxed area clean, as well as exfoliated for several days after treatment. You also want to try an avoid any sun for a few days afterwards, the skin is quite sensitive after treatment and sun can cause irritation.

Waxing is basically done by spreading the wax over the area wishing to be treated. Then a cloth strip is placed over the wax in which the wax adheres to. Then the strip is quickly pulled away, and the hair sticks to the strip and is removed from the body. Again, this is the part that a lot of guys think is painful. But the reason it gets less painful is because the follicle becomes weaker and the hair is removed with more ease.
