Wax Myth: Waxing Causes Skin Tags

Wax Myth #5 – Hair Grows Back in Strange Patterns


The rumor that waxing will cause strange hair re-growth patterns stems from partial truth, but is considered false. Though it all grows at approximately the same rate (about half an inch per month) until it reaches its genetically predetermined length, all hair actually grows at an uneven rate. There are three stages of hair growth, [...]

Wax Myth #4 – Hair Won’t Grow Back


Many have heard the myth that your hair will stop growing back if you frequently schedule waxing reservations. But this myth is false.

Wax Myth #3 – Hair Will Grow Back Double


The myth that hair can grow in twice as much after you wax is incorrect.
