has been around for a long time and is one of the few temporary methods
still commonly performed professionally. Hot wax is applied to the skin, and
a strip of cloth or paper is pressed into the preparation. The strip is then
quickly pulled away, taking hairs with it.

opposite direction of the hair growth to avoid unnecassary pain.The
procedure can be performed at home and is fast and inexpensive.

Comments |
- A similar way to remove hair is called
sugaring
- To avoid
inflamed skin,
check the waxing product on a small patch of skin, even if you
have
used the product before.
This should be done in
the beauty salon as well.
-
Before waxing the hair
should be at least 1 cm long
-
You should never
wax
when
you have
a sunburn and
avoid
expose
the waxed areas
to sun
for at least
two days
after
waxing.
Baby
oil is the best moisturizer after waxing. After-sun creme or ice
takes
away
the
burning sensation after waxing.
Aspirin can also
remove the pain.
-
Do
not
apply
moisturizer
or drink a lot of
caffeine
the day
of waxing.
- Eyebrow
hairs are the slowest-growing hairs on the
human body,
so be careful when waxing them. If removing too much, they will come back,
but it takes around two months.
- Avoid to remove hair
if you are under medication
or having the period, since it could
make your
skin more sensitive.
