Best Hair Removal Wax

Cold wax strips are a quick and uncomplicated method to remove hair. They are simply applied to the skin and pressed on. The body heat melts the wax on the underside. The pressure causes the hair to stick to this wax layer. Now the strip is simply pulled off with a quick jerk against the direction of hair growth. This tears out all the hair that was under the strip. This procedure is repeated until all digits have been treated accordingly.

This method is for advanced students. Beginners should perhaps be treated the first time in a waxing studio. So you can watch the procedure with an experienced beautician. Hot wax is supplied in small beads. These are heated in a water bath, in the microwave or in a special device. Then the liquid wax cools down to a tolerable temperature. Be careful not to use the wax too hot: A temperature test with the back of the hand provides security.

The wax is now applied in a straight line in the direction of hair growth. Only a small area should be treated at a time, this makes the stripping easier. A strip of cloth is then placed on top of the wax to bond with wax and hair. As soon as the wax has cooled, the strip is pulled off with a quick jerk. This happens against the direction of hair growth. The wax residues are then completely removed from the skin with oil. A cooling care lotion helps to avoid skin irritations.

Who removes unwanted body hair with wax, tears out the hair including the hair root. It takes a correspondingly long time for the hair to grow back. The method is very skin-friendly, as the wax bonds with the hair and not with the skin. In addition, each part of the body only needs to be treated once. After shaving, hard stubble can be felt again after a short time. After waxing, it can take up to four weeks for the hair to regrow. The method is very thorough and removes the hair completely. In addition, only thin and sparse hair grows back over time. The period until the next application is therefore extended. A further advantage: The practical cold wax strips can be used easily and alone at home. No special skills or previous knowledge are required.

As practical and thorough as the method is, it has a decisive disadvantage – it cannot be done without pain. The individual perception of pain plays an important role here. For some, the treatment may be unpleasant, for others it is very painful. A consolation: With the time an habituation often occurs. In addition to targeted cooling of the skin area, pain-relieving creams can also help. In order for hair removal with wax to be successful, the hair should also have a minimum length of four millimetres. Otherwise the wax cannot cover all hairs and short hairs remain. If you have irritated skin or suffer from sunburn, you should not remove hair with wax. When working with hot wax, there is a risk of burning if the temperature is not carefully controlled. In the case of varicose veins, the hot wax method can also cause hematomas because the hot wax further dilates the veins. Therefore, the person concerned should better choose the cold wax method.
