WAXING Meaning and
Definition
-
Waxing is a term used to describe a process of hair removal that involves the application of a thin layer of wax onto the skin, followed by the removal of the wax, along with the unwanted hair, using either paper strips or cloth strips. This technique is commonly used to remove hair from various parts of the body, including the legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, and face.
The wax used for waxing can be made from different materials, such as beeswax, resin, and oils, and is typically heated before being applied to the skin. The warm wax adheres to the hair and, when removed, pulls the hairs out at the root, resulting in a longer-lasting smoothness than other temporary hair removal methods like shaving or depilatory creams.
Waxing is a popular method of hair removal due to its effectiveness and long-lasting results. It is often preferred over alternatives because it promotes slower hair regrowth, allowing individuals to enjoy hair-free skin for several weeks before needing to repeat the process. Moreover, regular waxing can lead to a reduction in hair growth over time, making the hair finer and softer.
Waxing can be done professionally at beauty salons or spas, or at home using DIY waxing kits. However, it is important to follow proper techniques and instructions to minimize the risk of skin irritation, burns, or injuries. It is advisable to exfoliate the skin before waxing and keep the area clean and moisturized afterward to prevent ingrown hairs and maintain healthy, smooth skin.

Etymology of WAXING
The word "waxing" has its etymology rooted in the Old English verb "wacan", meaning "to grow, to increase". It is also related to the Old High German word "wahsan" and Old Norse word "vaxa". Over time, the term evolved and came to be associated specifically with the process of the moon increasing in apparent size as it moves from a new moon to a full moon. This lunar sense later extended metaphorically to other things increasing or growing, resulting in the use of "waxing" to describe the process of anything enlarging or becoming more pronounced.
