Is it normal to have some hair left after waxing?
Stubborn, short hairs left behind after waxing aren’t much of a problem on areas like the eyebrows, upper lip and face. By giving your hair a quick tweeze, any stragglers will be removed from the root of your skin ready to grow out for the next session.
Why do I keep missing hairs when waxing?
You also might have waxed the wrong way. Wax has to be applied in the direction of hair growth, and removed swiftly in the opposite direction. If it’s not removed fast enough (which can be hard to do by yourself), then there won’t be enough force to pull the hair out. Additionally, the hair can break in the process.

How soon does hair grow back after waxing?
While it depends on many factors, results from waxing can last up to 6 weeks. However, this doesn’t mean you’re hair-free for this long. You’ll probably start to see new hair growth around 3 to 4 weeks.

Can You shave after waxing your hair?
This is totally fine—you can shave after a wax. However, this might put you back at square one because shaving leaves the hair with a blunt end, making it appear thicker and darker when it grows back. Waxing removes the entire hair from the follicle, so when it grows it comes back in its natural state (with a tapered edge).
Is it worth waiting for hair to grow back after waxing?
Weathering the growth period is definitely worth it—you might notice a difference in the texture and the amount of hair over time, so you could end up needing fewer waxing appointments in the future. If you find it impossible to wait for hair to grow, try sugaring paste; it can remove hair that’s a bit shorter than a quarter-inch.
