Let’s be real. We’ve all heard something wild about waxing.
“Waxing makes hair grow back thicker.”
“You can’t wax sensitive skin.”
“It hurts too much!”
At neuBuff, we’re here to clear up the confusion (and the myths) so you can wax confidently and glow longer. Here’s the truth behind the biggest waxing myths once and for all.
Myth #1: Waxing makes your hair grow back thicker
Truth: It actually grows back finer and softer!
When you wax, hair is removed from the root. Over time, the follicle weakens, meaning your hair grows back lighter, thinner, and less noticeable. That’s why long-time waxers often notice they need to wax less often.
neuBuff tip: Stick to a regular waxing routine, about every 3–4 weeks, and you’ll see smoother, finer regrowth in no time.
Myth #2: Waxing is only for professionals
Truth: At-home waxing has gone pro-level.
Thanks to modern formulas (like our neuBuff Blue Flex Beads) and user-friendly heaters, you can get salon-smooth results from the comfort of your own bathroom.
Our silicone wax heater melts wax evenly, holds steady heat, and makes clean-up a breeze, no sticky mess, no complicated setup, just pro results at home.
Myth #3: Waxing hurts too much
Truth: The right technique (and formula) makes all the difference.
Yes, waxing removes hair from the root, but that doesn’t mean it has to hurt. neuBuff’s gentle, low-temperature waxes grip hair (not skin) for a smoother, more comfortable pull.
Pro prep trick: Exfoliate 24 hours before you wax and apply a light pre-wax oil. It helps the wax grab the hair, not your skin.
Myth #4: You can’t wax sensitive skin
Truth: You can, with the right formula.
Our wax bead formulas are enriched with soothing ingredients designed for delicate areas like the face, underarms, or bikini line. They’re low-temp, flexible, and made to care for your skin while removing even the tiniest hairs.
If your skin tends to react easily, always do a patch test, but don’t assume waxing is off the table. With gentle waxes and proper prep, you’ll love how smooth (and calm) your skin feels.
Myth #5: Shaving is faster and easier
Truth: Maybe once, but waxing lasts way longer.
Shaving removes hair only from the surface, meaning stubble can return in a day or two. Waxing removes hair from the root, keeping your skin smooth for up to 3–4 weeks.
So yes, it might take a few extra minutes, but the glow lasts weeks longer. And your skin? Instantly smoother and exfoliated.
The Bottom Line
Waxing isn’t scary, it’s science (and skincare!). When you choose the right wax and learn the right technique, you’ll enjoy smooth, glowing skin that lasts for weeks.
At neuBuff, we’re here to help you feel confident, empowered, and in control of your beauty routine, one wax strip (or bead) at a time.
