Follicle still there: Waxing does not remove the follicle it just pulls the hair out of the follicle

Vulvar waxing: Vulvar waxing only removes the surface hair shafts above the skin and does not eliminate the hair follicles that are under the skin and that is why the hairs regrow.

Outch: The was pulls the hairs out, but it does not kill the follicles, and that is why the hair grows back.
