Cold WaxingStrips For Quick Hair Removalhoose cold waxing as the best hair remover method to get rid of body hair, or say goodbye to a monobrow with eyebrow hair removal. Suitable for eyebrows, legs, forearms, chest hair and back hair removal. 
This type of wax is definitely NOT recommended for use on the pubic hair or armpit hair of either sex. Especially not on male clients. Rather use the hot type in that area. In South Africa both the hot and cold varieties are readily available as kits at most big pharmacies like Dis Chem, Clicks or Pick 'n Pay. As a plus the skin will also be exfoliated, because dead skin cells are removed along with the top skin layer during the waxing treatment. There is no lasting pigmentation changes, cuts or damage to the skin because of harmful chemicals. The skin might feel a little sensitive for a day or two, but recovers very quickly. What exactly is cold waxing?
The lubricators may be fat or oil to make removal of the wax easier. Other components which may be added to the wax could be fragrances, color or moisturizer. For instance pink colorant and rose fragrance produces a rose scented wax with a soft pink color. It can also be a mixture of rubber latex solutions and solvents or organic substances such as honey. The ingredients are totally different to the ingredients of that used for hot wax hair removal. Some mixtures need warming and other may be applied at room temperature or warmed in the hands. When warmed it changes to something akin to warmed syrup or honey. The most recent cold waxing machine comes in the form of a cartridge with a roller applicator head that attaches to a handle. It is also known as strip wax and is available in various colors and fragrances, eg chamomile, rose, honey, etc. Can sensitive skins be waxed?Yes, definitely. Special waxes for sensitive skins, as well as for people with allergies, are available. It is the client's responsibility to inform the cosmetologist beforehand, so she can use the correct wax.100% Natural sugaring would be a very sensible option to use for people who are allergic to bees as well as for those with very sensitive skins.

Why is cold waxing heated?It is heated because in its cold state some mixtures are difficult to spread thinly on the skin. After heating it, the consistency changes to a thin, easily spreadable liquid.Why is it called cold when it is heated? What a good question! And I really would like to know the answer myself. I think it should rather be called "strip wax, "warm wax", "lukewarm wax" or "sticky wax". Or something like that, don't you agree? Care must be taken to only heat it to a comfortable temperature. It must be warm, but not hot. Test the temperature on the inside of your own and the client's wrist before application. How is the heated wax applied?
Never, ever use a metal utencil. Because metal retains heat for a long time, you might be burned. Most salons make use of the pistol roller system to save time. All parts are disposable, making this a totally hygienic treatment. How is the wax heated?
How is it removed from the skin?A waxing strip is placed over the wax, rubbed vigorously with the hair growth direction, and ripped of against the growth direction.Directly afterwards you should press quite hard on the waxed area with your free hand. That really helps to ease the pain. Would you like to get more information about the waxing technique? Is sugaring also a cold waxing?Strickly speaking no, because sugaring doesn't contain any wax.It is prepared by boiling water, sugar and either lemon or lime juice together until it browns and thickens. Honey can also be used in the place of sugar. However, strip wax is the chemical equivalent of the 100% natural sugar gel method. Both these waxes are applied extremely thinly and removed with paper, cloth or cellophane. The same application and removal methods are used for both of them. Sugaring can very quickly, easily, and cheaply be prepared in your own kitchen at home. It can also be bought ready made in kit form. Manufacturers have developed products that are very similar, but far safer, than boiling sugar. This product may be reapplied over areas already treated.
