Have you ever wondered where waxing the body came from?
Who started the now super popular beauty treatment that is a firm favourite among women and men around the globe?
This is a short article to give you some more information about the history of waxing.
This form of hair removal method is not a new form of hair removal as it is known that the Egyptians used to use a very sticky ingredient that was made from honey and oil mixed together. The smooth and hairless body for women in Egyptian times was the standard of beauty and it also stood for innocence and beauty so waxing all their bodily hair was started.
The Greeks then followed with the trend especially for the women as it was thought of to be unattractive. The men used to wax their bodies too but did not remove the hair in the pubic area as you can see on the sculptures and statues of men at that time.
Turkish women have been using waxing in their more sensitive areas for centuries as have the Arabs and Mediterranean women. This is mainly because of their cultures or religious reasons as having any form of body hair was a socially unacceptable trait.
Nowadays, waxing the genital area is used as a cosmetic look because of the invention of the bikini. It is much more fashionable to have smooth and silky looking skin instead of hairs.
In the late 1990’s, waxing the pubic areas of people in the USA became common and the Brazilian became one of the most talked about shapes to have!
Models and athletes opt for waxing to show more definition of their bodies and this is especially true of bodybuilders where showing their defined muscles are the key to their success in that industry.
Most women have some part of their bodies waxed today and it is also becoming more acceptable for men to have different forms of waxing treatments as men now take more care in the way they look.
