What is the basic outcome of waxing hair removal?

• A. Hair is physically removed from the follicle.
• B. Hair is cut at the surface.
• C. Hair remains attached to the skin.
• D. Wax leaves the skin covered with resin.

Answer: (A)

Waxing removes hair by extraction from the follicle. The wax grabs onto the hair and, when the strip is pulled away, it pulls the hair out by the root, leaving the skin smooth. This is different from shaving, which cuts hair at the surface, and it’s not simply leaving hair attached or coating the skin with resin. The result is hair-free skin for a period, since regrowth comes from the follicle after the root has been removed.
