Hot wax hair removal treatments
All hot wax hair removal treatments involve some pain! Not from the heating of the wax, but from the hair being removed by its roots! Let's see what may work best for you. There are three basic types of hot wax hair removal kits. Take a look.Roll On:
This type of hot wax hair removal kit comes in a deodorant shaped container, with a roller attached to the top. Heat by placing
in hot water. This sounds convenient, but the wax to tends to lose heat more quickly than with other methods. This hot wax hair removal
method can result in a mess of cold pasty wax on the leg, making for a difficult cleanup.
This hot wax hair removal kit is a one-step application, ready to use between two sheets of waxing strips. Rub strips of the desired length between your palms to warm. Peel the strips apart. Place the strip, waxed side down, always in the direction of hair growth. Smooth down. The wax will be stiff. Rub again to warm. Leave for a minute or two, then strip off.
Avoid showering and making the hair wet prior to waxing. Hair absorbs the water making it soft and less likely to adhere well to the wax. Tough hair is easier to pull off.
Avoid wearing tight clothing over freshly waxed areas to minimize the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs.
Although these are the most difficult and messy of hot wax hair removal treatments, the conventional hot wax hair removal kit produces the best results. This type of hot wax hair removal is available in jars, tubs, tubes and pouches. Prior to beginning the conventional hot wax hair removal, warm your skin and protect the work area.
Heat your container in the microwave until the wax is in a semi-liquid state. Not too hot! Apply the wax with the supplied spatula in a width slightly smaller than the strip. You may need to exercise special care in areas around knees or ankles, where your hair grows in a contradictory direction. Get every last stubborn hair!
We women are vain, no doubt about it! Now you know what you're doing! Follow these tips and you'll find success!
