Hi everyone! 💖
Let’s talk about something a lot of folks don’t realize when it comes to waxing, especially brows. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror two weeks after a wax and thought, “Why are these tiny little hairs already back?” you’re not alone. That’s not your waxer doing a bad job. That’s your hair growth cycle doing exactly what it’s meant to do.
If you want baby-smooth skin and brows that stay clean and crisp, consistency is everything. I’m talkin’ every 4 weeks on the dot. Here’s why:
🌱 The 3 Stages of Hair Growth (aka why not all your hairs grow at once)
Your hair isn't lazy, it’s just doing its thing, and it does it in cycles. Every single hair on your body is in a different phase of growth at any given time. That’s why waxing once and expecting weeks of smooth skin doesn’t always work out. Here’s a quick breakdown:
1. Anagen – The Growth Stage
This is when new hairs are actively growing from the follicle. Waxing during this stage = chef’s kiss because it removes the whole hair from the root. Over time, that can lead to finer, softer regrowth.
2. Catagen – The Transition Stage
This one’s short and sweet. The hair stops growing, and the follicle starts to shrink. It’s not the best time to wax, but those hairs still gotta go!
3. Telogen – The Resting Stage
The hair is just chillin’ in the follicle, not really doing anything. It’s about to fall out naturally and make room for new growth. These are the stubborn little suckers that like to show up a few days after your wax and make you question everything 😅
⏰ Why Every 4 Weeks is the Sweet Spot
Here’s the tea: if you skip your regular wax or go too long between appointments, you’re always chasing hairs in different stages. That’s how you end up with uneven results, patchy regrowth, or worse, reaching for the tweezers (and y’all know I see that damage during your next appointment 😬).
When you wax every 4 weeks, you start to catch more hairs in the anagen stage. That means:
-
More hair removed from the root 💪
-
Less stubble in between appointments ✨
-
Softer, finer regrowth over time 🙌
And yes, that’s how you get that baby-smooth, I-woke-up-like-this kind of skin.
🙅♀️ The Downside of Inconsistency
Listen, I get it. Life gets busy. But if you wanna keep your brows on point, random appointments just won’t cut it. Letting your wax schedule slip too far can:
-
Throw your whole growth cycle outta whack
-
Make your wax more painful (because the roots are stronger again)
-
Lead to more breakouts, irritation, and that dreaded urge to DIY at home (please don’t!)
💡 Carley’s Tip of the Week:
Want even smoother results next time? Exfoliate gently 1–2 days before your wax. This helps bring those baby hairs to the surface and clears away dead skin, so your wax can grip better.
So next time you’re thinkin’ about pushing your appointment, remember this: smooth brows don’t happen by accident. They happen on schedule. 😉 Grab your calendar, set that 4-week reminder, and let’s keep them brows snatched and sassy all year long.
