To properly wax, hair needs to be at least 1/4 inch long, or around the size of a grain of rice, before waxing. This helps ensure that hair is completely removed from the root. For areas of thicker hair, you might have to grow it out longer than 1/4 inch, so that the wax can adhere to the heavier hairs and pull them out. If the hair is less than 1/4 inch long, the wax won’t be able to adhere to the surface of the hair and pull it out completely. Some people say that with more consistent waxing sessions their hair grows back slower and thinner.
Sugar wax is a paste that consists of sugar, water, and lemon juice. It can be a good alternative to synthetic waxes for hair removal. Sugar wax works best at room temperature, which can be both more convenient and safer as there is less chance of a person burning themselves. People can use room-temperature sugar wax on any part of the body where hair typically grows. Most waxing kits and products involve using synthetic wax, which can contain ingredients that some people may be sensitive to, such as colors or fragrances. Because people make sugar wax from little more than sugar and water, it can be a better option for these individuals.
Hairstory Wax is a product that can be used for both men and women, and it is made with natural ingredients. However, it is not a waxing product, but rather a styling product for hair.
When waxing at home, regardless of the type of wax used, it is important to apply the product in the direction the hair is growing, place the strip that comes with the kit on top of the applied wax, press down firmly on the strip in the direction of hair growth for about three seconds, hold the skin taut, and then quickly pull the strip in the opposite direction of hair growth, parallel to the skin. The hair should be about 1/4 inch long before waxing.
