Before full application, do a patch test. Apply a small amount of the prepared wax to a small area of your skin and wait 24 hours to check for any allergic reactions or irritation.
Typically, 2-3 tablespoons of wax powder is mixed with warm water. Follow the specific instructions on the product packaging for exact proportions.
In a clean bowl, add the herbal wax powder and gradually mix in warm water until you achieve a smooth, thick paste. The consistency should be similar to that of traditional wax—thick enough to spread but not too runny.
Make sure the area where you’ll apply the wax is clean and completely dry. Exfoliate lightly if needed to remove dead skin cells, which can help the wax adhere better.
Using a spatula or a wooden applicator, spread the wax evenly over the area in the direction of hair growth. Apply a thin, even layer for best results.
Ensure the layer is thick enough to cover the hair but not so thick that it becomes difficult to remove.
Removal Technique: If the product comes with cloth strips, press them onto the wax and quickly pull them off against the direction of hair growth. If the product does not require strips, gently peel the wax off with your fingers.
Pulling: Pull the wax off swiftly and close to the skin to minimize discomfort and effectively remove hair.
