Creating a "lip" with hard wax refers to shaping the edge of the wax application for easier gripping and removal, essentially creating a small, thicker edge that you can grab. Here's how to do it:
-
Apply Pressure: When spreading the hard wax, especially as you reach the edge of the area you're waxing, apply pressure in the direction you want the wax to go.
-
Turn the Stick: As you approach the end of your application, turn your applicator stick.
-
Push Down: Use the front of the stick to push down on the wax at the edge, creating a slightly thicker and more defined edge – this is the "lip." This thicker edge will provide a better grip when you remove the wax.
In essence, the key is to manipulate the wax with the applicator to create a thicker edge at the end of the strip for easy grabbing during removal.
