TYPES OF WAXES

Waxing is a form of a semi-permanent hair removal system, though different to shaving in which wax pulls the hairs directly from the root. As shaving only eliminates the hairs that can be seen on the surface of the leg, instead of removing the hair from its root bulb; like waxing does.
In today’s society, almost any part of the body can be waxed; for example eyebrows, face, feet, bikini area, legs, arms, back, abdomen and feet.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF WAX

Strip Wax
This form of wax is quite a sticky wax, and is best used when it is heated to an extremely thin consistency. Strip wax is best used for larger areas of the body, with thicker hair growth.
The areas of the body that use strip wax are usually:
– legs
– arms
– back
– chest
How to apply strip wax:
– It is to be spread extremely thinly over the leg, in the direction of the hair growth.
–  The wax is then removed by either using a cloth or wax strip that is pressed on top of the wax and then ripped off in the direction of the hair growth.
