What Is Waxing?

Waxing involves hair removal from the root of the follicles by applying and covering with a sticky wax to cling onto body hair. Results typically last four to six weeks, with variations based on individual hair growth cycles. The procedure can be applied to virtually any body area.

Types of Wax

Soft Wax

Applied warm with paper strips, soft wax is suitable for larger areas like arms and legs. It leaves fine, barely visible regrowth and is one of the most commonly used waxing methods.

Hard Wax

Applied directly to sensitive areas, hard wax hardens before removal. It adheres only to the hair, not the skin, causing less discomfort and allowing multiple applications on the same area.

Fruit Wax

Similar in application to hard wax, fruit wax is enriched with antioxidants and vitamins from natural fruit extracts, making it a nourishing option for the skin.

Sugar Wax

A natural formulation using sugar, lemon, and water. Sugar wax doesn't stick to the skin — only to the hair — making it a gentle choice for sensitive skin types.

Benefits of Waxing
