Unwanted body hair is a constant issue for women. Well, most of them. And waxing is considered the best way to get rid of unwanted body hair. And trust us there are many options to get the job done.

Depending on the rate of hair growth, the average time for waxing your body is 3-8 weeks. In this article, we put a time frame for how long you should wait before waxing each body part. Let's begin!
