What is the correct way to apply soft wax?

Applying soft wax correctly is essential for effective hair removal and minimizing discomfort for clients. The proper technique involves using a spatula to spread the wax in the direction of hair growth. This method ensures that the hair is coated effectively and helps to reduce the likelihood of breakage, which can result in ingrown hairs and ineffective waxing results.

When the wax is spread against the direction of hair growth, it can make it more difficult for the wax to grip the hair properly, leading to a less effective hair removal process and potential irritation to the skin. Using fingers to apply wax is also not advisable, as it may not allow for an even application and can lead to hygienic issues. Lastly, while cloth strips are often used to remove the wax after it has been applied, they are not a method of applying soft wax itself. Applying soft wax correctly sets the foundation for a successful waxing experience.
