Grooming a hairy back can be a challenge, and you may opt for waxing as a way to address it. Though waxing can be painful, it can be a quick and easy way to remove hair from some skin surfaces, including your back, says Jacqui Stafford, director of style for Shape magazine, in Men's Fitness magazine.

Face waxing services are an easy and efficient way to manage facial hair. Before face waxing or removal of unwanted hair from your face, you need to know the potential side effects and how your skin may be affected.

Shaving is one of the quickest ways to nix body hair, but it's not quite as effective as waxing. Waxing yanks hair out of the root, so it takes longer to grow back. Chemical waxing products use an ingredient called calcium thioglycolate to strip hair. It can irritate skin, and it doesn't smell very nice, either.

Waxing is a procedure that, when done correctly, can leave your face smooth and free of hair for weeks. The Oklahoma State Board of Cosmetology notes that while waxing is convenient and effective, it can also leave you open to infection on the delicate skin of your face.

Before you schedule your next upper-lip, bikini or leg waxing appointment, you can remove your hair at home with a do-it-yourself treatment. In fact, when using a cold wax, you are removing hair directly from the root, instead of snipping it off at the surface with a razor or depilatory.
