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.
