What You Should NEVER Attempt to Wax and Why.
Now that you have an idea about just what hair waxing is and how to
go about having it done, it’s time to move on to those parts of the body
that you would NEVER wax, and why.
ALL Parts of the Body - If you are Allergic to the Wax!
Some people have a HORRIBLE reaction to the wax used in hair waxing.
Either one or all of the ingredients will be very bad for his or her
skin, and it is not unheard of for blisters and peeling to occur, if not
worse. You could be so allergic to it that your eyes can become swollen,
too. The best thing to do, in order to see whether or not you have an
allergy to wax, is to have a test spot done on the area you plan to have
the waxing done. Salons will do this for you if you have never been
waxed before. You come back for an appointment only if you have not
incurred an allergic reaction. At home, you can do a 24 hour allergy
test as well, much like what some women and men do with hair coloring
products. Allergic reactions can be fatal, so please ensure you are NOT
allergic before you attempt any waxing or get it done at a salon.
The Inside of the Ears
While many people, men and women alike, suffer from a lot of hair
inside the ear, this is definitely not a place you can wax, since you
can go deaf from doing so, damaging the inner ear. There are waxes
designed to remove ear wax and other obstructions, but that is totally
different from the hot wax used to remove hair. Never wax the insides of
your ears! The hair was given to you there for a reason: to help combat
wind and protect the inner ear from dirt and debris. Be thankful for
your ear hair! Trimming it is okay, and certainly enough to do, without
harming yourself.
The Inside of the Nose
With the nose as Grand Central to your sinuses and sense of smell,
you certainly don’t want to mess about with it by doing something as
foolish as putting hot hair wax up it! For one thing, how are you going
to really remove that hair without the strength needed to do so? You
cannot apply a strip, anyway, so it doesn’t make sense! Not to mention,
you can completely ruin your olfactory sense (sense of smell) with
putting something up your nose that doesn’t belong. In addition, you
could choke or suffocate from hot wax dripping from your nose to the
back of your throat! Yuck, that doesn’t sound like fun now, does it?
Besides, there are plenty of wonderful nose hair trimmers available on
the market for everyone and they are very inexpensive, too.
Eyelashes
Okay, this is just WRONG on so many levels! Who on Earth would want
to wax his or her eyelashes? No one even plucks them, let alone waxes
them! Perhaps aliens on other planets do this as a beauty regimen, but
don’t take it from us and certainly, don’t do it! You could have severe
damage occur to your eyes and surrounding area that is irreparable, too.
On a very serious note: do NOT do this!
The Eyelids
Okay, the eyelashes were totally bad to even think about. Eyelids?
Are you joking? Who would do it? We know people have sometimes extra
hairs on the outside of the eyelashes and surrounding area, but this is
another thing that is just too awful to even consider.
The Palms of the Hands
Palm hair is most common in men, though it also occurs with women
too; it’s genetic. Yes, it’s a hassle, but you don’t want to wax the
palms of your hand. Why? Mostly because they are super-sensitive, and
your personal hand and finger prints can be burned beyond recognition,
not to mention you’ll incur pain of which you have never been familiar,
nor ever want to be.
The Soles of the Feet
Just like the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet need to be
left alone. Far too sensitive, you can literally peel your skin off and
become a mess, like something out of a Type-B Horror movie.
