Body waxing is a technique that will remove hairs from every area of your body directly from the roots.
Body waxing is done by spreading a thin layer of wax on the area of skin you are looking to wax. The hot wax covers the follicles and helps with pulling the hair out from the roots. Then a strip is pressed and pulled quickly against the direction of the hair growth (this stops it from being so painful).
