Steps You Need To follow While Waxing
Follow these steps for a successful waxing session:
-
Cleanse Skin: First, use a pre-wax cleanser to help eliminate any deb, oil, as well as makeup on the skin. This makes sure the wax gains the right stickiness to the hair or sometimes the hair becomes sticky enough to help the wax stick to it.
Apply Talcum Powder: Sprinkle a little amount of talcum powder on the area. This allows the wax to better stick to the hair shaft and also helps to absorb any remaining moisture that is on the skin. - Heat Wax: In order to soften the Halawa wax, melt the wax in a wax warmer until it has a honey consistency. Put a small portion of your wrist in contact with the item to check the temperature not to be hot.
- Apply Wax: After the waxing, in order to remove the wax, the spatula is swept in the direction of the hair growth. Spread it smoothly to an extent that it is thinly coated.
- Place Wax Strip: When using soft wax try to presses a wax strip up onto the wax. It is then advisable to wash gently so as to make the solution stick to the fabric.
- Remove Wax: It is conveniently pulled off in the opposite direction of the hair on the strip. If using hard wax, one has to let it cool, and when it becomes hard it is then peeled off.
- Apply Post-Wax Oil or Lotion: Apply post-wax oil or lotion in order to relieve the skin. This is of help in cutting down the level of irritation and also helps in the moisturizing of the area.
Be Careful While Implementation
- Test Wax Temperature: One has to always ensure that the wax is at correct temperature by putting it on a small patch of the skin.
- Avoid Waxing Over Wounds or Moles: Waxing on any parts of skin that has cuts or on moles may cause redness or harming of the skin.
- Use Caution on Sensitive Areas: Some of the parts of the skin like the bikini zone and the armpits for example are more sensitive. Avoid using strips or liquid wax on these areas but rather use hard wax or sugar wax since they don’t hurt.

The Time It Takes To Clean Areas
