5. You’ll save money
I remember during college, some of my friends would be so broke, barely buying groceries, yet they always found money to have their woo-hoo’s waxed. After surveying American women, researchers found that they spend more than $10,000 on hair removal products and services over the course of their lifetime.
Yes, that’s right — thousands of dollars to remove something that’s supposed to be there. Considering these women removed unwanted body hair for an average of 53.6 years, over one’s lifetime, a woman will spend more than 58.4 days removing hair from her body.
While focusing specifically on waxing, the lifetime price tag skyrockets to $23,000 — ouch. Sure, shaving is cheaper, but when addressing the hairs in this area, you’ll want to pass on the cheap, low-quality razors. Also, just because you choose the cheaper option, shaving will still remove this natural defense system and increase your risk of injury.
