Male Waxing

It is often said that women are fast conquering the areas which were earlier considered the domain of a man. When it comes to paying attention to one's physical beauty, the vice versa is also true. Earlier it were women who used to spend hours in front of the mirror and beauty salons to get that perfect look so that she looks appealing to her man. Now with women becoming economically independent, and men no longer being able to act as their providers and care takers, the only thing left for them to seek the attention of a modern woman is to beautify themselves. And the first step in this process of making oneself attractive is hair removal.

There are various methods to remove one's body hair such as waxing, electrolysis, shaving and laser hair removal. But the most popular and cheapest out of these is waxing. You can get yourself waxed at a salon or you may try it at home too. Here is a step wise guide to remove body hair using this technique.

Male Waxing Procedure

For doing waxing at home, you will need a waxing kit, a pair of scissors and cotton strips. Once you are ready with these, you may start the procedure.

Step 1: The first step is to take a shower or clean the area that needs to be waxed. Once you have cleaned the skin, do not use any cream or moisturizer over the skin area that needs to be waxed as waxing dry skin is easier than waxing a moisturized skin.

Step 2: Start with selecting one skin area at a time. I would recommend either of male chest waxing or male stomach waxing as these skin areas are in the front and hence, easier to wax. For male back waxing, you will need the help of your partner or a friend as you will not be able to reach those skin areas.

Step 3: Waxing is easier when the length of the body hair is not more than one-fourth of an inch. Since majority of hair on a man's body are quite long, they have to be trimmed to this size. You may use scissors for trimming the body hair. Though it is going to take a lot of time, but it will make waxing easy and slightly pain free.

Step 4: With trimmed hair, you are now ready for male hair removal. Wax needs to be made hot prior to its application on the skin. For this, keep a bowl full of water on the stove. Let it reach the boiling point, now place the wax bottle inside the bowl. Make sure that the water does not enter the wax.

Step 5: Once the wax is hot, remove it from the stove top. Now take a knife and apply the wax on the skin area from where hair has to be removed. Apply the wax in the direction of the hair. Place the cotton strips on the wax and make it stick on the skin area by applying pressure with hands.

Step 6: When the cloth has stuck to the skin properly, hold the end of the cloth which is in the opposite direction of the hair and with one stroke, pull it forcefully. Such an action ensures that hair is pulled from the root.

Step 7: As waxing can be quite painful, so to soothe the skin and to avoid bumps appearing on the skin, apply ice packs on the freshly waxed area, once the hair have been removed. Afterward pat dry and apply a moisturizer. Repeat the same process in other skin areas too for complete body waxing.

Although waxing can remove most of the hair, from all skin areas, waxing ingrown hair is not possible. Also, when waxing, avoid the genital areas, and get them waxed only by a professional at a salon. Waxing will give you a clean look as the hair will not come back for at least three weeks. Post waxing, you can flaunt your sexy body at a beach or a pool and make the women swoon over you.
