What should be the temperature of the wax before application?

The correct answer is that the wax should be warm, but not hot, before application. This temperature allows the wax to adhere properly to the hair without being uncomfortable or causing burns to the skin. Warm wax is effective at conforming to the hair’s structure, making it easier to remove the hair from the follicles while minimizing skin irritation.

If the wax is too cold, it will not apply smoothly and may not adhere effectively to the hair. On the other hand, if the wax is very hot, it poses a risk of burns to both the skin and the technician, which can lead to serious injuries and complications. Room temperature wax is also not ideal because it may lack the flexibility needed for effective application. Hence, warming the wax to just the right temperature strikes the balance between effectiveness and safety.
