Waxing is the primary hair removal method used by estheticians. Wax is a commonly used epilator, applied in either soft or hard form. These products are made primarily of resins and beeswax. Wax is applied evenly over the hair and then removed with fabric strips.
Correct waxing techniques, appropriate materials, and proper wax temperatures are key factors in obtaining positive results from waxing services. Wax is designed to adhere to the hair as close to the skin as possible. When the wax is removed, it should adhere to the hair and remove the hair and bulb from the follicle.
The benefit of waxing is that hair takes longer to grow back and the skin feels smoother without the hair or stubble. The recommended time between waxing appointments is generally 4 to 6 weeks.
