This Is What Waxing In Slow Motion Looks Like

Waxing can be one of the most dreaded and painful grooming activities for anyone. And the Slow Mo Guys, a YouTube science and technology web series starring Gavin Free and Dan Gruchy, just released a video that magnifies the process so closely that it’s almost too difficult to watch.

The footage features Gruchy waxing a section of his leg hair, on his thigh, while Free documents the process using a Phantom V2511 slo-mo camera. This high-tech, incredibly expensive piece of equipment records the clip at 28,000 frames per second — so fast that you can even see individual hair follicles being ripped from the skin.

The jarring, extreme close-up shots of the waxing process will definitely make you dread your next waxing appointment (probably more than usual). Even Free was disturbed.
