6 Pros of Waxing Facial Hair

Perfect for women who suffer from a lot of facial hair. Women with considerable facial hair tend to bleach it, often with disastrous results. Golden facial hair is never a golden sight.
While shaving facial hair makes the hair that grows back hard, waxing uproots the shaft of the hair. So, the hair that grows back is smooth. And smooth is sexy.
The effects of waxing last for about two or more weeks, which is pretty good in comparison to shaving. The last thing you want is anything that resembles a beard growing on your face. Shaving your face or using a depilatory only lasts up to five days.
Waxing is quite precise however, threading is much more precise than waxing. While shaving cannot guarantee all facial hair will be evenly removed, bleaching can turn out patchy with abnormal golden gradients of hair.
Waxing damages your hair follicles; this is not a bad thing because it reduces the growth of hair and over time your face will be completely hair-free. After all, isn’t being hair-free the real pursuit of happiness here?
Waxing is economical and shaving is also equally economical but it isn’t as effective. Plus women, unlike men, aren’t that adept at it. Bleaching is just outright expensive!
