Hot wax is a totally different process to strip waxing, because the wax goes on in much smaller sections and has a different consistency. This means that it is capable of taking much shorter hair than strip wax. because the wax works in such a way that is shrink wraps around the hair when it’s removed, it only takes the hair, leaving the top layer of skin in place.
When the hair is removed it only takes the hair leaving the top layer of the skin in place. Therefore, it is a slightly slower but less painful option and less likely to cause in growing hair.
Hot wax is also the best wax to use for people who react to strip wax or who are having waxing on more intimate areas.
After care remains the same. Wipe the waxed area over with witch hazel morning and evening for three days to keep the empty follicle clean. Avoid perfumed products, sun bed, sunbathing, hot baths/showers, and tight-fitting clothes for twenty-four areas following waxing. Exfoliating the area after the first seven days will also help prevent in growing hairs.
