Everyone's hairs grow in different cycles so it's possible that hairs below the skin's surface are just now sprouting after your wax service. Daily moisturizing between services is key, since dry or brittle hair can easily break during a bikini or Brazilian wax service.
This is normal (well, not the wax lady being rude) for your first time. Chances are those left over hairs are on a different growth cycle than the hair that was waxed away. Wait it out. It takes a few appointments for your lady bits to have the results you're looking for.
I am seeing more and more that after a first wax, shaved hair will still appear days after the wax. This is typically because the client didn't wait long enough for ALL of the hair to grow out. You will, however, notice that after a few Brazilian Waxes your hair will start to grow in much slower and finer.
This could be a result of several things: the wax was not hot enough; the hairs were too short to imbed in the wax; the angle at which the strip was pulled was wrong (always pull in the opposite direction of the hair growth); or the strip was not pulled off quickly enough. Hair must be about 1/2 inch long for waxing.
Yes hair regrow after waxing because waxing only removes your hair but the root of the hair are still present which helps it to regrow.
But your hair grows in cycles, so if you are seeing short hairs pop up a few days after your wax, don't worry. That is normal. Leave it and we will get those at your next appointment.

If the wax is not pulling out hair, the main factor is usually a lack of pressure. If you do not apply enough pressure, the hairs cannot fully adhere to the wax strip. Learning how to apply wax to the skin with the appropriate amount of pressure usually eliminates the problem of the wax not pulling out hair.
Typical Duration of Brazilian Waxing
For first-time waxers, the results may not last as long as for regular waxers. This is because the hair follicles are still strong, and it takes longer for the hair to grow back weaker. For regular waxers, the duration of Brazilian waxing can be anywhere from two to six weeks.
Keep your waxing appointments consistent, ditch the razors, find a good moisturizer and exfoliate once per week. If you stick to these tips you'll find yourself hair free and happy between your appointments.
Yes, a Brazilian wax does include the inner lips. After doing a Brazilian wax ourselves, we can confirm that a true Brazilian wax aims to remove all hair from the front, back, and everything in between. This includes the more delicate areas like the inner lips.
Stubborn, short hairs left behind after waxing aren't much of a problem on areas like the eyebrows, upper lip and face. By giving hair a quick tweeze, any stragglers will be removed from the root of the skin ready to grow out for the next session.
A Brazilian wax can be painful. It should get less uncomfortable the more often you do it. You might want to take an ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) about 30 minutes before your appointment to reduce discomfort. You may have some redness and sensitive skin in the area for at least a day afterward.
After waxing, it is not recommended to shave missed hairs as this can cause irritation and lead to an uneven finish.
It may take up to three waxing treatments to achieve smooth skin due to the fact that hair grows in stages and all of your hair is never at the same stage. It is very important to avoid shaving between waxing appointments, as this will interrupt the process and stimulate the hair growth again.
Each person is different, which means that it will take longer for some clients to regulate their hair regrowth cycle. In the meantime, it's normal to get mild stubble or new hairs growing days after a wax, but leaving these hairs alone until the next wax appointment is always the best choice.
Some people may notice a significant reduction in hair growth after six months to a year of regular waxing, while others may take longer. Patience and consistency are key when it comes to seeing the long-term benefits of waxing.
And since your hair is at various phases in the growth cycle, your initial wax may not remove some hairs that are in the anagen stage. These hairs will make their presence known when they're good and ready, aka, maybe a day or so after your wax.
Reason #3 of Why You Shouldn't Shave in Between Wax Appointments: It Can Cause Irritation. Finally, shaving between your waxing appointments also increases your chances of getting ingrown hairs, razor burn and irritation, explains Holmes.
Sugar waxing is known to be less painful and more tolerable—especially for those with dry and sensitive skin. Terry explains that sugar and water are humectants and bind moisture to the skin.
As for whether Brazilian waxing makes you wet, there is no definitive answer. Some women say that the sensation of having their pubic hair removed is arousing, while others find it to be uncomfortable. If you're considering getting a Brazilian wax, we suggest you do some research to see if it's right for you.
If your hair seems to be growing back faster than it's supposed to, it may be because it's breaking during the wax, instead of actually being pulled out by the root.
