Why Wax?

First Stage - Anagen

This is the active, growing phase of hair and is by far the best time to get a wax. When Anagen hair is removed the waxed area remains hair free for longer because the hair was removed at the earliest stage of development. Waxing anagen hair should also eventually lead to a reduction in regrowth. 

Second Stage - Catagen

The Catagen phase signifies the end of the active growth of a hair. During this short transitional phase, the lower part is cut off from its blood supply and from the cells that produce new hair, and what is called a club hair starts to be reformed.

Third Stage - Telogen

The hair follicle enters its third and final phase, called Telogen, as the club hair is completely formed. This is the resting phase, during which the old hair falls out in preparation for the development of a new anagen hair. This is the worst time to get waxed because during this stage, brand new anagen hair may already be developing below the existing visible surface hair. It will not be picked up by wax and the result of your wax wont last as long because even though all the old hair was removed, new hair could start to break through your skin soon after treatment.
