5 Expert Waxing Tips for Smooth, Long-Lasting Results

Waxing is one of the best ways to achieve smooth, hair-free skin that lasts for weeks. Whether you're new to waxing or a regular client, following the right tips can make all the difference in your results. Here are five essential waxing tips to help you get the most out of your next session at Ogden Lash and Wax!

1. Let Your Hair Grow to the Right Length
For waxing to be effective, your hair needs to be the correct length—about 1/4 inch, or the size of a grain of rice. If your hair is too short, the wax may not grip it properly; if it’s too long, the process can be more uncomfortable. If you're unsure, consult your waxing professional.

2. Exfoliate Gently Before Your Appointment
Exfoliating 24–48 hours before waxing helps remove dead skin cells, allowing the wax to adhere better to the hair. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or a loofah to prep the skin. Avoid harsh scrubbing, as overly irritated skin can be more sensitive during waxing.

3. Avoid Moisturizers on the Day of Waxing
Skip applying lotions, oils, or other products to the area being waxed on the day of your appointment. These can create a barrier that prevents the wax from sticking to the hair properly, leading to less effective results.

4. Practice Proper Aftercare
Caring for your skin post-waxing is crucial to maintaining smooth results and preventing irritation. Follow these aftercare tips:

• Avoid hot showers, saunas, and workouts for 24 hours to let your skin calm down.
• Wear loose, breathable clothing to reduce friction and irritation.
• Apply a soothing, fragrance-free moisturizer to hydrate your skin and promote healing.
• Exfoliate gently after a few days to prevent ingrown hairs.

5. Stay Consistent
Waxing regularly—every 4 to 6 weeks—helps ensure smoother, less painful results over time. With consistent waxing, hair tends to grow back finer and thinner, making the process easier and more comfortable.
