Converted yet? Before you call up your local sugar wax spa, be sure to follow a few prepping steps to ensure you have the most comfortable wax experience possible. Healthline recommended growing out or trimming hair in the waxing area to between a quarter and three-quarter inches (the size of a grain of rice). Noemi Grupenmager, founder and CEO of Uni K Wax Center explained, "This is the ideal length for hair that's getting waxed because it allows the wax to get a better hold on the hair and pull it directly from the root, preventing the hair from breaking," (via Byrdie).
You'll also want to gently exfoliate the waxing area. A few days prior to your appointment, rub an exfoliating mitt, dry brush, or textured washcloth over the waxing area to wipe away dead skin cells and prevent future ingrown hairs. Healthline warned against exfoliating within two to three days of your appointment to avoid the sugar wax causing over exfoliation.
