What do you mean by waxing when removing armpit hair?

I don’t get it really. As you can see, here in our place, plucking and shaving are more common.

What does waxing do?

And could someone also tell me the advantages and disadvantages between these three: shaving, plucking, waxing

Please and thank you.

Waxing is a technique used to remove hair. A warm wax is applied to the unwanted hair. A piece of cloth is placed over the wax, adhering to the wax and hair. Then in one quick motion they pull off the fabric removing the hair. It is painful and can irritate sensitive skin.
With all three methods; shaving, plucking and waxing they are all temporary hair removal methods. With shaving the hair is removed right at the surface of the skin, and grows back really fast. With plucking as well as waxing the hair is pulled out from the root, and takes longer to grow back.
With all methods hair may grow back darker and courser.

    waxing is just like waxing eyebrows. using warm wax applying a paper and ripping it off to pull the hairs out of root.
    plucking- hurts. takes long .
    shaving-quicker but causes hair to come back thicker. must do constantly.
    waxing- hurts on good time. takes hairs from roots and not as often.

  2. Waxing is best because it takes the longest to grow back and it won’t grow back thick and dark.

  3. Hi:

    Shaving your hair grows back in a week
    Plucking is the same and it really hurts
    Waxing comes back in 3-4 weeks but as you keep on waxing your hair gets less and less.
