To wax your ears at home, you'll apply the wax to the outer part of your ear, being careful not to go inside the ear canal. Hold the applicator for about 10 seconds while the wax dries.
Step-by-Step Guide to Ear Waxing at Home
Here’s a more detailed look at how to wax your ears at home:
- Preparation: Make sure the area around your ear is clean. You may want to trim any longer hairs.
- Wax Application:
- Take the wax applicator and apply the wax on the inside of the outer part of your ear.
- The goal is to wax the outer ear areas, not inside the ear canal.
- As the YouTube video indicates, you want to put the wax “on the inside of this part right here."
- Drying Time: Hold the applicator with the wax in place for about 10 seconds. This will allow the wax to dry and adhere properly to the hair.
- Removal: Quickly pull off the applicator. The wax will remove the unwanted hairs.
- Aftercare: Clean the waxed area with a suitable after-wax product to remove any residue.
Important Considerations
- Do not insert the wax applicator into your ear canal. Focus only on the outside visible parts of the ear.
- Be careful: Skin around the ear is sensitive. Be gentle to avoid irritation.
- Patch test: Before applying wax to the entire ear, test a small area first to ensure that you do not have an allergic reaction.
