How do I use hard wax?

Published in Waxing Guide 1 min read

Using hard wax effectively involves proper heating, application, and removal techniques. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Preparing the Hard Wax

  • Heating: Heat the hard wax using a wax warmer or microwave. Stir it occasionally to ensure even heating and to allow it to cool down slightly.

Applying the Hard Wax

  • Application:
    • Using an applicator stick, apply the wax in a thick, even layer.
    • Apply in the same direction of hair growth. This helps prevent hair breakage.
    • Apply firm pressure when applying the wax with the stick.

Creating a Lip

  • Creating a Lip: When applying the wax, use lighter pressure at the end to create a lip. This lip provides something to grip when you remove the wax.

Removing the Hard Wax

  • Flick off: Once the wax has hardened, hold the skin taut and firmly flick the edge that you created in the opposite direction of hair growth.
  • Clean: Clean the waxed area.

By following these steps, you can effectively use hard wax for hair removal.
