Help after a bad wax?

r/

It’s kind of a silly question, but I’m wondering if anyone has gone through something similar and has advice. I got a bikini wax 7 weeks ago for vacation. Not my first time, but she was the roughest technician I’ve ever been to and I ended up having a reaction that went away after a day or so. I like to have a bit of a bush and I had asked her to leave x amount, but she ended up taking off way more than I wanted. I figured it was fine because it would just grow back. It’s been 7 weeks and while a little has grown back there are some places that are still just completely bald and totally ruin the previous shape I had. Like the old shape which I loved will not grow back and I’m stuck with this much uglier shape (it sounds odd I’m sure but it does matter to me lol). The hair does grow back already in all the sensitive areas/folds, but literally just not in the spaces on the pubic mound that I want it to. I’m wondering if anyone has had something similar with advice or tips on a way to stimulate growth there? Prior to this I had not been waxed in probably over 6 months, maybe longer, only shaving here and there to clean the area up.

    It’s common that it will grow back patchy. For some it’s a good thing (I get the whole thing waxed and have for a little over a year and there are parts that just never grow anymore.) maybe look into things people have used for hair growth on other areas? Rosemary oil I think was one of them o-o I’m sorry you had a bad experience. I will only suggest don’t go to the European wax center next time I’ve heard horror stories.

    There are three stages of hair growth; growth, transition, and resting. It’s possible that the spots that are still without hair may be in the transition or resting phase which can last weeks to months. Before adding chemicals to a sensitive area I’d give it more time and there’s a fairly good chance that it will grow back.
