Hard wax cracks, why is that?

When hard waxes are removed incorrectly, they can break. Generally, this is due to two factors. Either the esthetician applied the wax in layers that were too thin or the wax was left on for too long. We recommend applying a thick layer of wax to your skin while using our waxing supplies in order to avoid complications. Create a lip at the end of the wax so that it can be removed with a groove. Depending on the density of your wax, you may be able to remove it easily. Please note that any wax that is still wet after 45 seconds should be allowed to dry for another 30 seconds.

When hard wax is applied, the hairs don't come out. Why?

When waxing, it is very important to master the process and understand proper waxing techniques. Fundamental mistakes can result in hairs being left behind during melting, applying, and removing the wax. While waxing, ensure that the warmer temperature is at its maximum setting until the wax reaches a point where it is low viscosity to prevent leaving hair behind. It is critical to lower the warmer once the wax is melted and is at a point of low viscosity. Once the wax is at a high viscosity point or a syrup-like consistency, wait 20 minutes before applying a thick layer of wax. We recommend applying a thick layer of wax to the skin once the wax has reached a high viscosity point. Create a lip at the end of the strip for grip so that the wax can be removed. It is critical that the wax is dense enough to be removed. The wax should rest on the skin for no more than 45 seconds. After 45 seconds, you should allow an additional 30 seconds for the wax to dry.

Why does hard wax have such a high degree of flexibility?

We must master the waxing process. We can make fundamental mistakes if we use the wrong temperature setting during the melting process with our waxing supplies. You should turn up your warming unit’s temperature notch until you reach a syrup-like consistency if the wax consistency is too flexible after the wax has rested.
In this case, your answer depends on the waxing supplies you are using. The soft waxes will melt at a much faster temperature than the hard waxes. If you’re using a professional salon warmer, we recommend letting your soft wax sit for 15-20 minutes at the highest temperature. We recommend letting our hard waxes sit for 20-30 minutes at the highest temperature. You must lower your warmer’s temperature to a low mid-level setting once your wax has reached a low viscosity point. Continue to wait 15-20 minutes until your wax reaches a syrup-like consistency.

Is the microwave or stove safe to use?

You must lower your warmer’s temperature to a low mid-level setting once your wax has reached a low viscosity point. Continue to wait 15-20 minutes until your wax reaches a syrup-like consistency.

Would it be possible for me to mix your hair removal wax?

Despite the fact that mixing our wax is possible, we do not recommend mixing any of our waxes due to the different ingredients that make up each formula. Therefore, although it is possible, we do not recommend combining any of our waxes.

What is the best pre-wax product to use for sensitive skin?

For sensitive skin, Wax Wax Aloe Comfort Pre-Wax Lotion is ideal. It gently cleanses and soothes the skin, preparing it for a smooth waxing experience without irritation.

Can I use talc before waxing, and what does it do?

Yes, applying Wax Wax SilkSoft Cosmetic Talc before waxing helps absorb moisture and allows the wax to grip better, reducing irritation and ensuring a smoother result.

How can I prevent ingrown hairs after waxing?

To prevent ingrown hairs, apply Wax Wax IngrownAway Concentrated Lotion regularly post-waxing. This product is specifically formulated to target and reduce ingrown hairs while keeping your skin smooth.

How soon after waxing should I apply a post-wax lotion?

You can apply a soothing post-wax lotion like Wax Wax Blue Silk After-Wax Lotion or Orchid Renewal After Wax immediately after waxing to calm the skin and reduce redness.

Can I use the same lotion for pre- and post-wax care?

No, pre-wax lotions like Wax Wax Aloe Comfort Pre-Wax Lotion are designed to cleanse and prepare the skin, while post-wax lotions such as Blue Silk After-Wax Lotion are formulated to soothe and hydrate after waxing. Using both ensures optimal results.

How often should I moisturize after waxing?

Moisturizing daily with a hydrating lotion like Wax Wax Almond Dream Lotion or Tropical Bliss Lotion is recommended to keep your skin soft and prevent dryness, which helps maintain smooth results longer.

What should I avoid doing after waxing?

After waxing, avoid sun exposure, saunas, or intense workouts for at least 24-48 hours. Applying a calming lotion like Wax Wax Orchid Renewal After Wax can help soothe any irritation during this recovery period.

Can I use any oil-based product to remove leftover wax?

Yes, you can use a gentle oil-based product or a dedicated after-wax lotion like Wax Wax Blue Silk After-Wax Lotion to remove any leftover wax residue from your skin effectively.

What’s the difference between Pre-Wax Lime Mousse and Aloe Comfort Pre-Wax Lotion?

The Pre-Wax Lime Mousse has a lighter texture that’s ideal for oily skin types or those who prefer a fast-absorbing formula, while the Aloe Comfort Pre-Wax Lotion provides more hydration and is better suited for dry or sensitive skin.

How do I choose between different post-wax lotions?

Choose based on your skin’s needs: if you need extra soothing after waxing, opt for Blue Silk After-Wax Lotion, which is formulated to calm irritated skin; if you’re looking for hydration and rejuvenation, try Orchid Renewal After Wax or Almond Dream Lotion.

How often should I moisturize my skin after waxing?

It’s important to moisturize daily with a hydrating lotion to keep your skin soft and supple, which also helps maintain the results of your wax.

Are there specific ingredients I should look for in pre and post-wax products?
