'''Waxing''' is the process of [[hair removal]] from the root by using a covering of a sticky substance, such as wax, to adhere to body hair, and then removing this covering and pulling out the hair from the follicle. New hair will not grow back in the previously waxed area for four to six weeks, although some people will start to see regrowth in only a week due to some of their hair being on a different [[human hair growth]] cycle. Almost any area of the body can be waxed, including [[Eyebrow|eyebrows]], face, [[pubic hair]] (called [[bikini waxing]] or intimate waxing), legs, arms, back, abdomen, chest, knuckles, and feet. There are many types of waxing suitable for removing unwanted hair.
