Which areas should you wax?

All areas of the body can be waxed to remove unwanted hair. Legs, arms, underarms, chest, back, bikini and face are the most common waxed areas.

What hair removal method is best for legs and arms?

Strip wax is the best waxing method for legs and arms. Strip Wax is a sticky, honey-like substance used on larger areas e.g. legs, arms and backs. It is applied very thinly (about the thickness of plastic wrap) in the direction of hair growth, using a metal spatula. A fabric strip is then placed over the area; the strip is then firmly rubbed onto the wax then quickly pulled off at about a 45 degree angle in the reverse direction of the hair growth.

Which wax can you use to wax your armpits?

Cold waxing is ideal for small areas. It comes in the form of ready-to-use strips and can be cut to fit the various body parts needing waxing. The wax is already spread on the strips; it remains only to apply them to the area to be depilated, after having warmed them for a few moments in your hands. Then smooth the tape over the area and remove with a quick, sharp swipe.

What is the correct length of hair for waxing?

Waxing cannot pick up hair that is too short, we recommend hair length be 2 -3 cm or at least the length of a grain of rice. Hair length is very important as if it is too long the hair will break and too short the hair will be difficult to remove.

We recommend you allow two weeks of growth in between waxing sessions to ensure perfect hair length. If trimming the area use safety scissors or hair clippers.

If the skin in the area to be treated is not completely dry, sprinkle it with a light dusting of talcum powder before waxing.
