Are my hairs long enough for waxing?

We often get asked: “Can I body wax if my hairs are short?” The answer: it depends on their length – this is key for perfect results. In this video, we’ll show you an easy visual trick: use a grain of rice to check if you’re ready for waxing.

What you’ll need:

• The hairs in the area you want to wax
• One regular grain of rice (uncooked)

How to check if the length is right

Step 1: Take a grain of rice and place it next to the hairs.

Step 2: Compare:

If the hairs are shorter than the grain of rice → wait a few more days. They’re still not long enough for effective removal.

If they’re longer than the grain of rice → you haven’t waited too long, but you’ll just need to take a little more care when applying.

If they’re approximately the same length as the grain → perfect! You’re ready for waxing.

Tips from the WaXx Me team:

• If you try to wax too early, you risk the body wax not gripping the hair properly.
• If you wait too long, waxing will be more painful and may require reapplication, which can irritate the skin.
