About Hair Removal

This stage is when your hair forms and grows. This means that it is above the skin surface and is ready to be removed. Removing the hair at this stage helps to promote more follicle damage, resulting in more permanent damage and less hair growth over time. This stage lasts about 30-45 days, making 4 weeks the perfect time to schedule your sugaring hair removal or waxing hair removal appointment. 

Often referred to as the transition stage, which lasts about 10 days. The hair shaft becomes weaker as it is preparing to shed in the Telegen stage. Due to it’s weaker structure the hair may be more prone to breakage and it is less likely to bring the follicle out with it, meaning less follicle damage. Also during this stage, it begins to create keratinization at the base that turns it into a “Club Hair”. This serves as a way to hold onto that hair and prevents it from falling out before it’s ready. This stage can be the most troubling to waxing hair removal and sugaring hair removal services.

During this stage, the hair goes dormant and stops actively growing. The hair becomes easier to remove, because it wants to shed to grow again. This stage is the least predictable and can last any amount of time. This stage may make sugaring hair removal and waxing hair removal less painful, but it doesn’t do much for follicle damage since it kind of just “falls out”. After this stage, your hair repeats the process and goes back to the Anagen stage.
