Pre- and post treatment for the best waxing results

Pre waxing treatment:

Prepare for your wax by improving your skin's surface                                          

Use a soft-bristle brush and liquid cleanser in a circular motion to dislodge the tips of ingrown hairs, eliminate dead skin cells and clear follicles to allow hairs to surface unimpeded.  Don’t use oils on the skin.  Book waxes 3 weeks apart.

Post waxing treatment:

Treat with active ingredients

Exfoliating (removing the upper layers of dead skin) is indispensable to   manage ingrown hairs. Daily use of an exfoliator with glycolic and salicylic acid is particularly effective.

There are several products that claim to help treat ingrown hairs, but the reality is that Salicylic acid is the one active substance that can visibly improve bumps. It is a dermatological-grade ingredient that exfoliates, moisturizes, clears pores and can help prevent infection. Use Folisan with Salicylic acid so it remains on your skin the whole day   

Do not use any product that contains alcohol

Folisan lotion produces a skin surface exfoliation which helps eliminate ingrown    

hairs by opening pores and allowing ingrown hair to break through skin without   

obstruction.

Reduces redness and the bumps that can occur after waxing

Specially mixed wax for sensitive skins

Specially mixed wax for sensitive skins

At Fast and Furious Waxing Specialists, the hot wax formula is mixed to perfection by the owner herself. The wax is of the highest quality in the industry and contains fast drying ingredients as well as soothing ingredients to obtain the perfect wax consistency. 

The formula does not cling to the skin and lifts off the skin surface on drying, so when it is removed, no skin can be pulled in the process. There is no flicking or picking of the wax as it is removed by sticking another piece of wax on the piece to be removed in one clean, almost-pain free, super fast pulling technique. The wax melts over a very low temperature and there is no danger of burning or sensitizing the skin by over-heating it.

Hot wax is used for sensitive areas like bikinis, brazilians, eyebrows and underarms. The wax can remove extremely short hair, so waxing can be done as often as possible. Some clients prefer to wax underarms in summer every two weeks to stay hair-free.

Why do I have to wax every three weeks for best results?

Why do I have to wax every three weeks for best results?

Hair grows in three stages, and the time we need to wax is best done at stage 2, as explained below:

Stage 1:

A hair root and follicle forms and produces a new hair in the hair shaft, new hair is still under the skin and not visible.

Sage 2:

Hair appears above skin and enters a resting phase for approximately 2 weeks, the hair is still attached to the root, and when waxed at this stage, we disrupt the resting phase and confuse the stages all together, as a whole new hair root and follicle with a new hair needs to be produced again.

This in itself takes another couple of weeks. When waxing is done every three weeks, we continuously remove hair that are actively growing from stage 1, and over prolonged times will reduce hair growth, hair will become finer and patchiness can start to be seen.

Stage 3:

After 2-3 weeks of resting the hair will detach itself from the root to start falling out, and stage 1 will start again.

If waxing is done at this stage, we are only removing hairs that have no roots and new hair will be seen in a couple days after waxing. This is why a client may feel that waxing is not a long lasting solution to hair removal, but if waxing was done on actively growing short hairs, in Stage 2, the results will be long lasting.
