Waxing is a popular method of hair removal that involves applying a layer of wax onto the skin, allowing it to harden, and then quickly pulling it off, along with the unwanted hair. The wax used for waxing can be either hot or cold. Hot wax is typically melted in a warmer and applied to the skin with a spatula, while cold wax comes pre-applied on strips. The wax is spread over the area with unwanted hair in the direction of hair growth, using a spatula or the hands (if using cold wax strips).
