With saloons and spas temporarily closed, many of us are taking to at home hair removal. Shaving hair might be easy but it only cuts hair off the skin surface.  While Waxing is consideredto be a semi-permanent hair removal method because it removes the hair from the root.

There are so many different waxes that it can sometimes be confusing even knowing which product to choose.Choosing the right wax can also help reduce discomfort and generally result in a smoother experience. We have made a list of waxes to help you choose the best wax suited for your skin.

1. Hot wax

Hot waxis designed to shrink-wrap around the hair follicle, removing it from the root without pulling at the skin. It is applied by being spread along the skin and once dried in a few seconds, it is easily removed by lifting the corner with your fingers and pulled against the hair grain.

Is hot wax or strip wax better?

Hot waxis spread thickly onto the skin and allowed to dry slightly before it's gently peeled away. The benefits include fewer in-grown hairs, less breakage and therefore longer re-growth periods.Strip waxis recommended for thicker/less sensitive skin, for example legs, arms, back , chest and shoulders.

What temperature is warm wax?

55-65 degrees
Both Hot & Strip Waxes are used at warm temperatures. As a guide, the recommended operating temperature of hot wax is 55-65 degrees, whilst strip wax is used at around 65-70 degrees. A wax pot is essential for correct application as it enables you to work with consistent, safe temperatures.

The important question is,

Which type of wax is best?

Soft wax adheres to skin more thanhard wax, exfoliating skin more. Soft wax grabs fine hairs perfectly, working better on large areas of the body thanhard wax. Unlikehard wax, soft wax cannot be applied to the same spot twice because it removes layers of dead skin. Hot wax traps hair tightly than coldwax strips, it is not only more effective, it is better at removing shorter hair.

If you are using cold wax to remove the hair of your arm pit, following are the steps;

Make the skin above the strip taut before pulling it off quickly in the opposite direction of hair growth. Repeat until all hair has been removed and clean off excesswaxwith a wipe, or waxing lotion/ oils.
