A very popular procedure is wax depilation. It can be carried out not only in the salon, but also independently made at home. Thanks to this procedure, you can get rid of hair for a period of a week to three. Its regular conduct leads to thinning, and sometimes complete disappearance of the unwanted cover. For home use, you can buy a wax for waxing, which will greatly simplify the work.
Types of waxes
More recently, a “water bath” or microwave was used to heat home wax. These options are not only inconvenient, but also dangerous: it is quite difficult to choose the right mode and heating time to achieve the required temperature. In addition, such a wax will have to be heated as it cools. Voskoplav for depilation makes it possible not only to heat the substance to the desired temperature, but also to constantly maintain it throughout the procedure.
Before choosing a device, it is worth finding out what they are, what are the features of each. For home use, there are three types of devices: can, cassette and combined.
Cassette
Perhaps the most convenient option for the home is a cartridge wax. To use this device, wax is required in special cassettes. In the upper part of the device there is a roller that distributes the heated substance over the skin. Before you buy a cartridge wax, you should make sure that it makes it possible to use those cartridges of the brand you are used to wax.
Standard models must have the required elements: indicator light and wire. The wire is used to connect the device to the mains, the indicator indicates the readiness of the device for use. During waxing, the device should be turned off from the outlet. Some models are equipped with a window in which you can track the residual amount of the drug.
In addition, you can choose a wireless wax wax, instructions for which will help you figure out how it works. Food in such devices is carried out through the base.
This type is considered ideal for home use because it is impossible to make wax hot in it, which significantly reduces the risk of burns even to inexperienced users.
There are devices for cartridges of various sizes, ranging from 100 ml.
Can
For wax stored in cans, a can wax heater has been developed. In such a device there is a connector in which the dishes with wax are placed. In such a unit, it is possible to select the number of currently heated elements, which corresponds to the volume of the tank. Voskoplav for hot wax of this type is convenient in that jars from most manufacturers are perfectly placed in it.
Such units are especially convenient for beauty salons, since they can simultaneously heat quite a lot of wax - up to 800 ml. From the can, wax is removed with a spatula intended for this purpose. Before applying the substance to the prepared surface, you need to check its temperature on the hand. Such manipulation will avoid skin injuries.
The wax alloy model, in which there is a thermostat and a thermostat, is quite complicated. These additional functions allow you to adjust the heating temperature of the contents of the can.
The wax heater of the latest generation is equipped, in addition to the above, with an electronic thermostat. This makes it possible to maintain a constant temperature of the wax for a sufficiently long time.
For fairly large beauty salons, it is better to purchase a wax with two tanks. Such a unit will make it possible to serve a large number of customers in the shortest possible time.
Combined
In addition to the above, many manufacturers offer for sale a combination wax. It’s not difficult to guess, this apparatus combines both of the previous types: it has both a container for can wax, and a base for heating cluster waxes. There are many models that differ in the volume of cans used, the number of cassette devices, and the number of additional functions.
For example, wax mini wax wax is intended for heating cans with a capacity of 400-500 ml and three cartridges of 100 ml. It is noteworthy that all these containers can be heated both simultaneously and separately. In this model, the maximum temperature can reach 105 degrees.
Where to buy wax
Nowadays, products for depilation are not at all difficult to purchase. You can do this in cosmetics stores, in professional hairdressing salons, or even just order online. Modern stores can offer various sets and tools, among which the customer will definitely find exactly what she needs.
The cost of a cartridge with wax is 100-300 rubles. Cassettes are usually enough to depilate both legs, so this option is very economical.
Hot wax
The procedure is carried out in three options: cold wax, warm or hot. Experts say that hot wax greatly facilitates the procedure. Not only the masters, but also the clients say that in this case the pain is much weaker.
To carry out such a procedure, a wax wax is needed. However, if it is not, you can try to heat the wax in the microwave or in a water bath. However, it should be borne in mind that without a special device, you can either boil the wax, which is fatal for this substance, or overheat it so much that a burn occurs on the skin.
On sale such wax comes in bars, granular or in plates. The price will vary from 300 to 1000 rubles. It depends on the manufacturer, the volume and the accessories included in the kit.
Epilation
A few hours before the procedure, you must take a shower. To cleanse the skin, it is recommended to use a body scrub. Among other things, it will help open the pores. After a shower, apply lotion to the skin, allowing it to completely absorb. After that, treat the skin with talcum powder. For sensitive skin, it is better to use baby powder.
Set the wax removal wax for heating up to 50 degrees Celsius. After waiting for the required temperature, apply wax on the hair growth. To speed up the procedure, you can apply more than one strip.
After 15 seconds, the wax can be removed. This can be done both with hands on which gloves are previously put on, and use paper or fabric strips. Tearing off wax is necessary in one go, only against hair growth.
After the skin is fully processed, a calming lotion is applied to it to soften the skin. In addition, this tool will remove wax residues from the surface of the body.
the effect
After wax depilation, depending on the structural features of the bulbs, hairs will not appear from a week to four. The longer the wax is used, the slower the growth of new hairs. Each time they will become lighter and thinner. Sometimes they stop growing at all.
Sometimes women complain that such hair removal contributes to the growth of hairs. To avoid this, 2-3 times a week it is worth applying a body scrub, daily - a hard washcloth and moisturizing the skin.
Precautionary measures
No matter how good the method of wax depilation, its use is not recommended for everyone. There are situations when you need to refrain from this procedure temporarily or permanently.
If the skin has scratches, abrasions, inflammation, it is better to postpone the procedure until recovery.
If there are moles or papillomas in the places where depilation is supposed, the procedure cannot be done. In any case, before consulting with a specialist in such formations.
If there is varicose veins, applying a hot substance to the skin is prohibited.
If you are pregnant, then epilation can be done only after consulting with your doctor.
In addition, an individual reaction to wax may occur. If there is severe pain after epilation, significant irritation, then you need to see a doctor as soon as possible.
Recommendations
To avoid unpleasant consequences, it is worth buying waxes of proven brands. In addition, you must definitely check the expiration date of the product.
If you have never done hair removal before - the first procedure should be done in the cabin. The wizard will show how everything happens, and will be able to give advice on the independent use of wax.
You should not immediately begin to process sensitive areas - axillary cavities and bikini area. It is better to experiment on the limbs. If the pain is too strong, you can try applying an anesthetic cream. If the pain cannot be tolerated even after using special means, it is worthwhile to find another way to deal with hairs.
In order to increase the time between procedures, you can use creams that slow down hair growth. Experts recommend purchasing wax and cream of the same brand. A suitable cosmetic product will not only slow down the appearance of new hairs, but also moisturize the skin, saturating it with nutrients.
Well, and, of course, it is very important to remember that wax for waxing must be regularly cleaned according to the instructions.
