Waxing or Shaving? Find out which hair removal technique suits you best

People often get torn between the two without knowing the pros and cons of both shaving and waxing. Some consider shaving to be more convenient because it is painless, easy and economical, while others consider waxing to be the best option because it removes hair from the roots. It is time for you to understand the benefits and drawbacks of two popular hair removal methods before deciding which option suits you better. Here are the pros and cons shared by dermatologist, Sarah Young.

Benefits of waxing:

1. It exfoliates the skin.
2. The results of waxing last for a longer period (3-4 weeks) than shaving.
3. With regular waxing, the skin may feel smoother, and the hair may eventually begin to thin.

Benefits of shaving:

1. This is more likely because razors and shaving cream are cheaper than wax.
2. It is not painful at all as it does not remove the hair from the roots.
3. It takes less time and effort. It can be easily done at home as a part of daily routine.

Disadvantages of Waxing:

1. Ingrown hairs, discomfort, redness, swollen hair follicles and skin irritation can all result from waxing.
2. To get wax you have to take care of the length of your hair.
3. Removing facial hair with the help of wax can lead to scarring and infection of the skin.
4. Waxing is painful and the hot wax is likely to burn their skin if a person is not careful.

disadvantages of shaving

1. Dull blades can cause burns and cuts.
2. Results last for less days (1-3 days) than waxing.
3. This can lead to ingrown hairs, razor burn, itching, and inflammation of the hair follicles.

According to Healthline, both types of hair removal methods have advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes side effects vary depending on the person acting on it and the sensitivity of the skin. Try both shaving and waxing to decide if you’re still not sure which technique will work best for you.
