Types of waxing

There are two methods of waxing—cold and hot. Both methods involve the application of wax on the skin and its removal using cloth strips.

Cold wax is directly applied to the skin and then removed, while hot wax is applied and removed using cloth strips. In general, hot wax is the right choice if you want to remove hard, thick hair.
