Why do I still have stubble after a leg wax?

I had a leg wax a month ago after 2 weeks of growth. I still had stubble but assumed it was the next cycle of growth. I had a leg wax 2 days ago after a MONTH of growth and I still have stubble. Is it the next growth cycle or are the hairs breaking? Should I leave it be until my next wax or not wait as long between waxes? I am SO tired of shaving....I really want leg waxing to work for me. But its a little disheartening when my legs still feel like sandpaper.....

Update:

Definitely not dry skin...I exfoliate and moisturize.

Everywhere I read says 4 to 6 weeks to even out growth cycles, Should I try every 2 weeks?

    Hmmmm.....maybe breakage. You know....some peoples hair grows at different rates...and that includes leg hair. I'm thinking it either broke or there wasnt enough there to grab for whatever reason (yes, even after that month). Try not waiting as long.

    it might not be stubble, it's probably dry skin making it feel that way. when you wax you rip off skin too leaving the next layer open to the air. try a good moisturizer and see if that helps any.
