We are constantly seeing video tutorials and reviews of people applying hard wax completely wrong. Talk about frustrating! If you apply a wax strip incorrectly, the hair will not come out. Applying a hard wax strip the right way is the most important factor for hair removal. So, after being tired of seeing so many videos using incorrect application, we will show you how to do it the right way! We will also explain the other important factors that will effect the wax as well. We only use hard wax at HK Wax Center. If you are looking for soft wax then this will not apply to you. The first step is making sure you are using a high quality hard wax. We use Starpil wax which is very elastic and pliable. The second step is getting the wax to the correct consistency/temperature. Check out our other video/blog here for more details on how to properly heat up hard wax. Another factor is making sure the area is prepped properly. The skin needs to be cleansed of all dirt, make up, sweat and lotions so that wax can adhere to the area. Next, make sure all your wax is on one side of your stick and then dispense all wax onto the skin. Using pressure, push down and in the direction of the hair growth. Not using enough pressure won’t allow the wax to get suction cup base of the hair follicle. When you get to the top of your wax strip, create a “lip”. Follow link for more!
