Why do my legs feel stubbly after a wax?

Have you ever felt a little leftover stubble after getting waxed?

That’s because some of the hairs left behind were still in the early growth stage and not long enough to be removed by waxing.

With regular waxing every 3 to 4 weeks, you are more likely to get your hair on the same growing cycle - it can take up to 4 waxing treatments before all of the hair is on the same growth cycle, and all the hairs come out together. Your first wax may not remove all the hair, it may last only one week, it may last up to three – it just depends on your own genetics, how recently and often you’ve shaved, and how well you do at preparing the skin before the wax and taking care of the skin between your treatments.


Don’t be discouraged if your hair doesn’t stay gone too long the first few times. The more you wax the longer it will last.
