With shaving you remove the\u00a0hair\u00a0close to the skin\u2019s surface. Unfortunately, the hair usually makes a speedy comeback as the roots stay put.\u00a0The\u00a0time it\u00a0takes to\u00a0grow back\u00a0depends on which body part you shaved,\u00a0as well as your unique\u00a0hormonal balance, but expect to see it popping up no later than 2 days after the shave!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .wrc-column-grid --><\/p>\n<h3>Chemical Depilatories<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Veet and Nair are popular examples of chemical depilatories that melt the hair away. And, just like with shaving, the roots aren&#8217;t removed, meaning that new hair will quickly resurface.\u00a0Please remember that these lotions can irritate your skin\u00a0because\u00a0hair-removal\u00a0chemicals frequently\u00a0penetrate the skin.<\/p>\n<h3>Tweezing<\/h3>\n<p>Another staple of our your beauty routine, tweezing is most commonly used for shaping eyebrows or removing those annoying stray hairs. Tweezing is really great for the latter, such as keeping things tidy between waxes. However, it&#8217;s extremely time-consuming and completely unrealistic for the removal of a large amount of hair.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>Sugaring<\/h3>\n<p>Sugaring (or Persian waxing) is a very old hair removal technique that is often considered\u00a0to be a more natural\u00a0alternative. A sugar paste made with water, lemon juice and sugar as the main ingredients is\u00a0applied with a spatula and removed with a strip of cloth or paper. Some claim it&#8217;s less painful than waxing, but the results vary wildly, depending on the composition of the paste and the skill level of beauty practitioners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Threading<\/h3>\n<p>Threading is an ancient technique that uses a strand of knotted cotton thread that tie around individual hairs and pull them out. Threading doesn&#8217;t usually traumatise your skin, but it can irritate those with\u00a0sensitive skin. It&#8217;s regarded as a safe method for those\u00a0who can&#8217;t or don&#8217;t want to wax.<\/p>\n<h3>Waxing<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Arguably the most durable and efficient method, waxing usually means applying different\u00a0types of warm wax to remove hair from the body with precise, quick movements. The most popular types of wax are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hard wax<\/strong>, which is allowed to cool and harden after application. If you&#8217;re planning on a bikini wax, this should be your go-to choice. Good\u00a0quality hard wax doesn&#8217;t stick to your skin, but only to the unwanted hair. Great news for those of you with sensitive skin!\u00a0We highly recommend Lycon wax, which we use at ASPA Den Haag. We have several Lycon options available,\u00a0depending on the area that needs to be tidied up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soft wax<\/strong>, also known as strip wax, is mostly used for waxing large areas (such as legs, arms and backs), where hair removal with hard wax would take forever.\u00a0This wax\u00a0has\u00a0a honey-like consistency when\u00a0hot\u00a0and is spread thinly across the skin before being covered with a muslin or non-woven strip. However, ingrown hairs can be a problem with soft wax, so consult with your beautician\u00a0on how to avoid this problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>An ASPA special tip<\/strong>: If you are using retinoids or alpha-hydroxy acids on your face, please mention this to your beautysalon. We generally\u00a0recommend that your stop using these products in the area getting waxed for at least 3\u00a0days before your appointment, and a minimum of 3-4 days post-waxing.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Brazilian waxing<\/h3>\n<p>Ok, so this is not a separate method, but a very popular treatment we feel deserves attention. Most beauty\u00a0therapists perform bikini waxes, but not everyone offers Brazilian waxing. The reason is that\u00a0during a Brazilian beauticians work with sensitive skin tissue, which increases the risk\u00a0of\u00a0tears and burns.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that your\u00a0beautysalon of choice\u00a0is using Lycon wax for delicate treatments, such Brazilian waxing or face hair removal. And read client\u00a0reviews on multiple websites to confirm\u00a0a\u00a0salon&#8217;s excellent track record.<\/p>\n<div>If you have any\u00a0questions about <a href=\"https:\/\/aspadirect.nl\/treatments-den-haag\/brazilian-wax-lycon-den-haag\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">waxing at ASPA Den Haag<\/a>, please contact us on <a href=\"tel:070%20345%200215\" target=\"_blank\">070 345 0215<\/a> and\u00a0check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/aspadirect.nl\/treatments-den-haag\/brazilian-wax-lycon-den-haag\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">treatment list<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n<ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waxing, shaving or another method?
