Waxing is easiest and most
convenient way to remove hair from large areas. Waxing leaves
your skin smoother than shaving does because it eliminates stubble by
pulling the hair out from below the top layer of skin. You can
wax at home, and beauty supply stores sell all the equipment you
will need.
In hot waxing, a thin layer of heated wax is applied to
the skin in the direction of the hair growth. The hair becomes
embedded in the wax as it cools. The wax is then pulled off quickly in the opposite direction of the hair growth, taking the hair
with it. This will sting a bit, but not as much as portrayed in
movies to comic effect.
Cold waxes work the same way as hot waxes.
Strips are pre-coated with wax and pressed onto the skin in the
direction of the hair growth and pulled off in the opposite direction. This will sting a bit.
