It’s summer! If you’re wondering how to get the absolute best results from your wax, the answer is simple: maintenance. Keeping up with your waxing routine is the fastest way to get the best results possible. While a single appointment can leave your skin feeling smooth and refreshed, maintaining a regular waxing schedule is what truly delivers the long-term results most clients are looking for. Follow along in this guide as we explain what maintenance looks like and what to avoid.
What Does Maintenance Look Like?
An established waxing schedule can look different for everyone, depending on your hair type and hair growth cycle, but there are a few key things to do to maximize your waxing results.
Staying Consistent
Waxing consistently, every 4-6 weeks, ensures the hair is the right length to be waxed. Additionally, when you wax for the first time, not every hair is long enough to be removed. Many clients schedule an appointment before vacations, weddings, beach days, or special events, and, although a singular appointment can certainly help you prepare for an important occasion, results will vary depending on where you are in your hair growth cycle.
Because your hair grows in cycles, some hairs are actively growing while others are hidden beneath the skin’s surface. This is why you may notice some regrowth or smaller hairs sooner than expected after your first appointment. When you consistently wax, your waxing specialist catches more hairs in the same cycle, leading to more even regrowth and better results over time.
Touch-Ups
Look, we get it; it’s summer, you’re practically living in a bikini, and you don’t want hair peeking through when you hit the beach. This makes shaving between appointments seem like a good choice, but in reality, you’re setting yourself up for failure. This is why many clients opt for a bikini wax in between Brazilian waxes. The bikini wax is just a clean-up in the visible areas outside your bikini line, not a full Brazilian. This means you can head to the beach confident, hair-free, and without ruining your schedule.
Aftercare
Aftercare, aftercare, aftercare! It may seem tedious, but one of the key parts of maintaining your wax is a good aftercare routine. Exfoliate, moisturize, and use your Glow & Go kit regularly. If you’re unsure which products to use, our aftercare lineup has everything you need for a solid routine: a healing salve, soothing oil, bath salt soak, and a pair of exfoliating gloves. We also recommend our Ingrown RX, which is an all-natural solution that helps reduce ingrown hairs.
Things To Avoid
Caring for smooth skin doesn’t end after your appointment, and if you want to maximize your results, there are a few things to avoid for the first 24-48 hours after.
- Tanning
- Swimming
- Sweating
- Hot water and steam
- Physical intimacy
- Exercise
- Deodorant
