Talk:Waxing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This section:
Waxing is accomplished by spreading a wax combination thinly over the skin. A cloth or paper strip is then pressed on the top and ripped off with a quick movement against the direction of hair growth. This removes the wax along with the hair and dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth.
is a thinly veiled paraphrase of the first answer in the first FAQ link (www.about-hair-removal.com/waxing.htm):
How does waxing work?
A wax combination is spread thinly over the skin. A cloth strip is pressed on the top and then ripped off with a quick movement removing the wax along with the hair and dead skin cells leaving the skin smooth.
I'm just passing through, but someone should check this article for plagiarism.
How can you plagiarise from an acknowledged source???? If it is indeed a paraphrase, then all that is missing is an endnote. --JamesTheNumberless 16:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Urban myth?
Does anyone know if this is true: Hair which has been waxed will grow to be longer then the original hair, i.e. if you wax your arm, when the hair re-grows. if not waxed again, will grow to be longer then before the initial waxing. --Fabio 01:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- This is untrue. In fact, after repeated waxing, some hair refuses to grow back at all. After shaving, however, when hair grows back, it may seem longer and courser. The phenonemon here is that shaving gives the hair sharp edges, so it may seem longer or darker, though it is not. Hair that grows back after waxing, however, is normally soft and akin to the previous hair. HTH. — Frecklefoot | Talk 18:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Yes I agree with what Frecklefoot has said. Waxing , in fact allows the hair growth to be reduced. it actually helps to lighten your hair growth and when you regularly get waxing done you yourself will observe the thining of hair from that particular area which is being waxed. for more on waxing stuff you can see this link www.geoamaan.com/entry/4/41/ Recommended Methods OF Hair Removal Hair Removal Guide
[edit] About The External Link
The following link is placed under the heading external link about waxing, but amazingly this link has nothing to do with waxing, I wonder if people at wikipedia pay a little more attention to the content of what is being posted on their pages instead of removing THE relevent stuff and keeping in the irrelevent junk on the main pages and misleading people.following is the link you can see yourself. I have edited from the main page as it doesnt need to be there its NOT relevent.
- [www.howardstern.com/rundown.hs?d=1139817600 The Waxing of Richard Christy] [Howard Stern]] staffer [Richard Christy]] underwent waxing on the air. This portion of the radio show is best described as half an hour of screaming.
