Hard wax is an increasingly popular way of managing problematic hair. You can choose an at-home or professional treatment. Read on to get an insight into the nature of this wax, how to use it at home, and what to expect at a professional salon.
What Is Hard Waxing?
Hard wax is a beauty treatment designed to be harsh enough to eliminate tough and coarse hair from a person's body. Unlike other forms of wax, it gets hard very quickly on the skin. However, it is also very easy to remove. It is designed to be easy for just about anybody to use, including people who prefer waxing at home.
There is a variety of kits that you can purchase and use at home. Before discussing some of the best of these kits, we are going to show you how to use this beauty treatment, so you will be prepared to use it when you get home and won't have to mess around learning all of the various steps involved in the waxing process.
Using It at Home
If you have decided you want to try out hard waxing, it is important to understand how to do it at home. First of all, you need to warm up your wax in a proper wax heater. These come with most waxing kits and are simple to use. Put your wax in the heater, set it to the temperature indicated on the instructions, and let it warm thoroughly.
Once it is done warming, use the wand to spread the wax across the surface of your skin where you'd like to remove unwanted hair. As you spread the wax, make sure to move it evenly across the skin. After applying it, press firmly against the hair being removed. Let the wax sit for about 5-10 minutes to let it fully stick to the hairs in the area. Then, pull it off with one quick motion.
Hard Wax Products to Try at Home
We suggest Brazilian Body by GiGi, $38, and the Moom - Organic Hair Remover with Lavender for Extra Sensitive Skin Kit, $19.95. These products are perfect for hair removal and are fairly inexpensive.
What to Expect at Professional Treatment
Professionals take the extra step in the hard wax process by cleaning and disinfecting the area before waxing. While you can do this too, it will be easier for a professional to reach all areas of your body. Then, they will add wax, let it sit, and remove it in a safe manner much like you would at home. Yes, there will be some pain to this process but less than you might expect.
Professional waxing minimizes possible pain because trained specialists will know how to remove the wax by pulling it out by the roots. Doing it in this way will decrease the level of pain and stunt hair growth longer.
