How Long Does Waxing Really Last?
Let’s be honest — no one loves the stubble that shows up just days after shaving. That’s why so many people are turning to waxing as a longer-lasting solution for smooth, touchable skin. But how long does waxing really last? And what can you do to make your results last even longer?
At neuBuff, we’re all about clean, effective waxing that fits into your skincare routine. Here’s what you need to know about waxing longevity and how to get the most out of every session.
Typical Waxing Timeline: What to Expect
On average, waxing results last 3 to 6 weeks — but that range depends on a few personal factors:
-
Your hair growth cycle (everyone’s is slightly different!)
-
The area of the body you’re waxing
-
How often you wax (first-timers may see faster regrowth)
-
Your at-home routine and skincare habits
Most people start to notice finer, slower regrowth after consistent waxing — meaning the more you wax, the better it gets.
By Area: How Long Does Waxing Last?
-
Legs – 4 to 6 weeks
-
Underarms – 2 to 4 weeks
-
Bikini Line – 3 to 5 weeks
-
Face (brows, upper lip, chin) – 2 to 3 weeks
-
Arms – 3 to 5 weeks
Your hair type and growth rate will influence this, but regular waxing helps you stay smoother longer with less upkeep over time.
Why Your First Wax Might Not Last as Long
If you’re new to waxing or switching from shaving, your first wax might only keep hair away for about 2 weeks. That’s because shaving cuts hair at the surface, while waxing pulls it from the root. It takes a couple of waxing cycles to "reset" your growth pattern and get all your hair on the same schedule.
Stick with it — smoother, slower regrowth is just around the corner.
How to Make Your Wax Last Longer
Want to stretch the time between waxes? Try these pro tips:
-
Exfoliate regularly – Gentle exfoliation helps prevent ingrown hairs and removes dead skin that can trap new hair growth. Also helps you to avoid ingrown hairs!
-
Moisturize daily – Hydrated skin supports healthy hair removal and less irritation.
-
Avoid shaving between waxes – Shaving resets your growth cycle and undoes the progress you’ve made.
-
Wax consistently – Every 3–4 weeks keeps hair finer, softer, and easier to remove.
