Prior to March 2020, most of us had never worn PJs to work or tried to break a sweat in our living room. Now, working from home and virtual workouts are a regular part of our routine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another massive shift has been this: the return of body hair. Between lockdowns and #iso, many of us have decided to ditch the razor and embrace our natural body hair instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But just because we\u2019re going for a more natural look doesn\u2019t mean we need to give up grooming entirely. So, we\u2019ve pulled together a handy guide to grooming body hair, what to expect from an in-home waxing treatment and our top waxing tips.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"default\"><div style=\"height: 7px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap center\" data-max-width=\"75%\" data-border-radius=\"none\"><div class=\"inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com.au\/pin\/535787686929131592\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-shadow-direction=\"middle\" class=\"img-with-animation skip-lazy \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"1337\" width=\"2376\" style=\"margin-top: 50px;

The likes of Miley Cyrus, Sophia Loren, Emily Ratajkowski and even Madonna have been spotted with au naturel armpits on social media and on the red carpet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019re not alone: a recent study by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mic.com\/articles\/177779\/nearly-one-in-four-young-women-have-stopped-shaving-their-armpits-new-report-says\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mintel reveals one in four women have stopped sharing their armpits <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">over the past few years. It\u2019s only been accelerated by the long stretches of stay-at-home orders brought on by the pandemic. With social events off the cards, we\u2019ve all reconsidered the level of body hair maintenance we need to do on a daily basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not just our armpits that are having a moment: pubic grooming is taking a more relaxed approach, too. More of us are opting for full, natural growth or getting creative with how we style and groom our pubic region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, there\u2019s been a shift in the way we groom our body hair, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While laser hair removal has been the method of choice for the last decade, many are returning to an OG wax. Along with the pain and discomfort of laser removal, research has shown that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK507861\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">laser hair removal is rarely a permanent solution<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (meaning you\u2019ll need to keep going back again and again for painful treatments).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the flip side, an OG wax is a faster, more efficient way to groom your body hair. That\u2019s because waxing removes the root of the hair, meaning it takes longer for the hair to regrow (and your hair will become finer and easier to remove over time).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, you have more choice and control over the shape of your groom and can experiment with how much (or little) hair you want. Plus, there\u2019s no need to worry about hiding from the sun either, which is what makes waxing an easier solution to keep your body hair in shape.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"default\"><div style=\"height: 7px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap center\" data-max-width=\"75%\" data-border-radius=\"none\"><div class=\"inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com.au\/pin\/535787686929131592\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-shadow-direction=\"middle\" class=\"img-with-animation skip-lazy \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"853\" width=\"1280\" style=\"margin-top: 50px; margin-bottom: 50px; \" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-cottonbro-4156336.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-cottonbro-4156336.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-cottonbro-4156336-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-cottonbro-4156336-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-cottonbro-4156336-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-cottonbro-4156336-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" alt=\"woman shaving legs in the bath tub\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_different_types_of_hair_grooming\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The different types of hair grooming<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Waxing and laser treatments aren\u2019t your only hair removal options. Let\u2019s run you through the different types of grooming available and the pros and cons of each hair taming method.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tweezing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: also known as plucking, this hair removal method is best for small areas (like eyebrows or facial hair). It involves using a set of tweezers to remove each hair follicle and should last anywhere from two to six weeks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Shaving<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: this removal method uses a razor (either manual or electric) to cut off the top of the hair follicle at the skin\u2019s surface. While it is usually a pain-free approach and can easily be done at home, you\u2019ll need to maintain it on a daily basis, as the hair can begin to regrow within a matter of hours.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Laser<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: laser hair removal uses light that converts to heat to damage the hair follicles and prevent hair growth and thickness. Over time, your hair can become lighter and thinner. However, many people need multiple sessions to see results and each session can be extremely painful. Plus, you\u2019ll need to avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks after your session.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Waxing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: this popular hair removal option can be done at home or in a salon and uses either a hard or soft wax to remove the hair follicles and even exfoliate the skin. Waxing should leave your body hair-free for up to six weeks (although you may notice hair growth after four weeks).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sugaring<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: a similar hair removal method to waxing is sugaring, which uses a paste (containing sugar, lemon and water) to remove the hair follicles. This process can remove short and long hairs, and usually lasts for around six weeks.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Threading<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: using cotton or polyester string, threading plucks hair directly out of its follicle. It\u2019s a super-precise way to groom facial and body hair and is typically used to keep eyebrows in shape (with results lasting for up to six weeks).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Depilatory creams<\/b>: hair removal creams use a strong alkaline solution to slowly break down the hair until it can be wiped off. While it can be a simple and easy way to remove hair at home, it doesn\u2019t remove the actual follicle of the hair. That means you\u2019ll only see smooth, hair-free skin for a couple of days.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Big_news_book_an_in-home_waxing_service_with_Blys\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Big news: book an in-home waxing service with Blys!\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you heard?

Our experienced beauty therapists can come directly to you and deliver your wax in the comfort and privacy of your own space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you opt for a\u00a0 full or half waxing package, you\u2019ll be able to groom your hair into shape. From full leg waxing to arm and underarm waxing, our experienced therapists will use the highest quality soft and hard waxes to get you looking fresh and feeling your best.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best bit?

By leaving at least four weeks between sessions, you\u2019ll give your hair the chance to grow and be removed from the root of the follicle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_waxing_hurt\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does waxing hurt?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While waxing is significantly less painful than more invasive treatments like laser hair removal, there is still a low level of discomfort. That\u2019s because manually removing hair from the follicles does cause a level of shock and sensitivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, waxing will feel like having a tough bandage ripped off a hairy part of your body. You might notice more pain if you\u2019re getting waxed in more sensitive areas (such as your pubic region or under your arms).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the pain and discomfort are quick and temporary (although you might notice some redness, tenderness or irritation immediately after your waxing treatment).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_tips_for_preparing_ahead_of_a_waxing_appointment\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Top tips for preparing ahead of a waxing appointment<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To get the most out of your wax, it\u2019s important to prepare your skin and yourself ahead of time. Here are a few practical steps you can take to prepare ahead of your waxing session:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let your hair grow out for at least four weeks to ensure your therapist can properly remove the hair from the follicle.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gently exfoliate your skin a day or two before your appointment to flush away any dead skin cells.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay hydrated, avoid too much caffeine and alcohol in the days prior to your appointment and moisture your skin with non-clogging products that are lightweight and non-greasy.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay out of the sun and avoid getting sunburn in the days prior to your appointment.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid using products with retinol on your skin the week prior to your appointment (as this can increase the sensitivity of your skin).<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear lightweight, flowy clothing to your appointment that is easy to take on and off.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During your waxing session, your therapist will explain what kind of wax they\u2019re using and will ask about your preferences for styling and grooming length.

Keep your skin clean and avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing for at least 48 hours (like yoga pants or tights) that may cause irritation and friction on the skin. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"default\"><div style=\"height: 7px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#faf1eb&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;3%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;3%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ready_to_skip_the_scary_salon_queue_and_get_a_professional_waxing_treatment_from_the_comfort_of_your_home\"><\/span><em><strong>Ready to skip the scary salon queue and get a professional waxing treatment from the comfort of your home?
