The secret history of the past

If you are thinking that the art of waxing or getting body hair removed is a contemporary thing then you will have to rethink again. Our ancestors were secretly removing unwanted hair from their body parts and private parts but we were completely unaware of this fact. Many historical records reveal that a hair removal technique is known as ‘sugaring' was prevalent in ancient Egypt as well!

Have you ever noticed the Greek statues or the idols carved on the walls on ancient Indian temples? Have you ever seen them flaunting pubic or body hair? Obviously not! This evidence is enough to prove that people were used to seeing their lovers and friends without any body hair even in the ancient times.

In the process of sugaring, sugar was boiled with water and after cooling the thick solution was applied on the hairy patches. After that, a copper or iron blade was used to safely shave the hairs from their roots.

The first shaving razor for women was invented in 1915 and women didn't have facial hair even back then! Therefore, you can agree that women have been shaving unwanted hair from their armpits, legs, arms, and private body parts from a long time ago.

As women started wearing bikinis and short dresses, they got conscious of showing their body hair. Even men started modeling and the trend of men flaunting their clean shaved legs and waxed chests became common. The Brazilian waxing techniques got popular in the 1980s and today we can see that numerous hair removing techniques and methods are popular around the world. Now, let us look at a new-age solution for removing unwanted body hair.
