Am I waxing my arms and legs wrong ?
I've been waxing for a couple years now, and recently after I wax my arms or my legs, the hair will grow back with in a week. When I first waxed it would be 8 weeks but all the sudden its like the next week. And it's becoming expensive and annoying to wax every week ... Am I doing something wrong or is my body hair just becoming more tolerant !!

No one looks forward to their hair removal routine, regardless of what it is. Each option comes attached to its unique drawbacks. Shaving is terribly time-consuming and has to be repeated daily in order to achieve best results. Waxing is painful while hair removal creams can be smelly and irritating to the skin. Electrolysis is effective and near-permanent… but it's also expensive to the point of being outside of the average person's budget.There is NOTHING PERMANENT, not even laser. Once you stopped? They will grow back like before, it's permanent FOR YOU, because you have to keep at it. . . . for EVER & EVER.
BTW: you don't wax or remove hair on your arms, unless you've got hair like a baboon. Are you taking hair growth supplements? How about hormone supplements?
THREE MOST COMMON MYTHS:
1. The rate of hair regrowth will not change because of hair removal.
2. Hair coverage will not change in density; your body has a set number of hair follicles.
3. Ingrown hairs are common but not impossible to avoid; everyone has different susceptibility to ingrown hairs.
EXAMPLE OF ONE FROM YA Poster, who've tried everything. . .
-WAXING: the wax usually irritates my sensitive skin. I used an organic wax once and it worked out much better than the regular one I used but it still didn't stop my skin from getting red & irritated.
-THREADING: this is an option that isn't as bad as the other things I have used. But I prefer not to do it unless it really is the only other option I have.
-SMOOTHAWAY: this is the little pink hair removing applicator. If you're not familiar with it, look it up on Google and you might get an idea as to what it is. I use Smoothaway when I don't have another option. But more often than not it irritates my skin and my skin turns red on the sides of my upper lip. And it makes it worse when I try to put my face lotion on.
-HAIR REMOVING CREAM: I used this a few times but this irritates my skin more than anything else I have ever used. My skin turns red and all that....
