The wax is heated and applied to a pre-cleaned and degreased area, leave for a few minutes. The molten composition partially penetrates the skin. After the time the wax hardens, tightly enveloping the hairs. Then it is removed with a sharp movement or folded into an envelope, due to which the hair is removed from the root, allowing you to save a long-lasting effect.The result depends on the individual characteristics and the rate of follicle formation. As a rule, waxing lasts from 2 to 5 weeks.

Types of wax

1. Cold wax The most painful and ineffective composition. It is used to remove excess vegetation in the area of ​​the armpits, bikini, face and abdomen in women. Hair removal on a cold cycle takes more time, because the hairs are not removed the first time. We have to repeat the procedure several times, thereby irritating the skin. A plus technique can be considered hair removal from 1 to 3 mm.
2. Warm wax. The most optimal method of hair removal at home. The composition of a quarter consists of moisturizing ingredients that soothe the skin. The tool is made from cosmetic beeswax, softener and pine resin. The price of warm wax is slightly higher, it comes in the form of a roller or in a can, due to which it gently removes all hairs. The product is suitable for absolutely all zones, ranging from deep bikini and ending with the face. Epilation is practically painless, the hairs after the procedure do not grow into the skin. Warm wax is hygienic and easy to use.
3. Hot wax. The tool is used in the cabin and requires a certain skill. Hot wax is removed by hand and only in the form of an envelope. The procedure is slow and painful, because there is an extraction of each hair follicle. For waxing with hot wax, you need a special device that keeps the temperature at the same level. The cost of equipment is high, so the technique is rarely used at home. If elementary rules are not followed, you can get a serious burn. The method is not suitable for people with high edema and varicose veins.
