Male waxing is more common than you think and on the rise, especially in this day and age. From unibrow waxing to a boyzilian wax, there is nothing we haven’t seen. Male waxing and grooming is not only getting more common but we personally feel like it is a necessity.

So when looking for places to visit for waxing in Pretoria, make sure you contact Glo for all your manscaping needs. So yes, do guys wax? Indeed they do! Waxing for men is on the rise.

First time waxing? We get it, it can be somewhat technical when it comes to the actual length of your hair. On average you need to grow your hair for about 3-4 weeks to achieve the optimal length for waxing. Hair growth is different on leg waxing than it is with intimate waxing.

Hair growth in your bikini area may take a bit longer than any other area so we suggest an average of half a centimetre in hair length.

No, it’s not a stupid question. We have 6 different bikini styles so let’s explain then the best way we can… visually.

We hope that this visual representation helps you understand our different bikini styles. We get asked a lot “What does a Brazilian wax include?”, well Brazilian extended is the same as the Brazilian strip illustrated above, however, it includes the bum area.

Hollywood Extended is everything off as illustrated but also includes the bum area.

The honest answer, you might. Some people are more prone to ingrown hairs and itchy bumps after waxing. So the question here is, how do we prevent these pesky little things from happening and how to treat ingrown hairs from waxing. There are definitely a few things you can do to avoid this some of which include the following:

Exfoliate. Ingrown hair after waxing is caused by hair trapped inside the follicle and grows to the inside or backwards and is often accompanied by an infection. Exfoliating will help you to keep the pores and follicles open and clean and will most likely solve your ingrown problems.

Avoid tight clothing. At least for a while try not to wear clothes that are too tight as this may cause the hair to grow out normally.

Coconut oil. Coconut oil is a natural anti-inflammatory remedy. So try to remember to apply coconut oil to the area.

The short answer: No.

Waxing is a method that has been around for many many years. We can disclose to you that in the long run waxing may be harmful to tissue cells. However, not to the extent that it poses any form of permanent damage or harm to your skin.

As for the stretching rumor, we believe this one to be false. The only thing that will cause your skin to stretch is weight gain. Our skin is thick enough to withstand a lot and believe us when we say waxing does not compromise the elasticity of your skin in any way.

Better? Not necessarily. Different? Absolutely. In this case, it is just a matter of preference.

Threading and waxing facial hair has pretty much the same effect. The only difference is how they feel.

Both methods pull the hair our from the follicle, so if we were to answer this question truthfully we’d say visit your nearest skin clinic in Pretoria and give them both a try.

Same results, just a different experience
