How Waxing For Hair Removal Works

The strip wax is used for hair removal. Also referred to as soft wax it is accomplished by applying a thin layer of wax over the hairy skin. The therapist will use a cloth or a paper strip and it is pressed firmly on the skin. The strip is adhered to the wax and the wax s adhered to the hairy skin. While doing this, the therapist will study the direction of hair growth. Then, the strip is quickly ripped off against the direction of hair growth. To avoid trauma the therapist will ensure he/she does the stripping as parallel as possible to the skin. When the stripping is done, this removes the wax and takes off the hair as well.

Another form of waxing is what we refer to as Strip-less waxing which is the opposite of strip wax and also referred to as hard wax. This uses a thicker wax layer as compared to soft wax and there is no cloth or strip used. The wax will be left to harden so that the hair can be removed without using a cloth. This approach is beneficial for people with a sensitive skin. hard wax helps to remove the finer hair completely and it is also less painful.
Waxing can be done on any area of the body. This includes the eyebrows the face, the pubic area also referred to as bikini waxing, legs, armpits, and also the knuckles. So what are some of the advantages of waxing?
