How to wax leg hair

Today we are going to talk about how to wax leg hair and how you are going to do that. You will need some certain supplies, so I give you a list of supplies.

You need terry cloth towels, dusting powder, and if you do not have actual dusting powder from the beauty supply store, you can substitute baby powder. You need a blush brush or a powder brush that is clean, free of cosmetics that you use with that dusting powder. You will need wooden spatulas or sticks to use with the wax. You need depilatory wax in a warmer and ready to go. You’re going to need some oil, botanically based oil that you can use for removal and moisturizing afterwards, and you will need a skin toner. And you will need your cloth strips. If you don’t have waxing strips and don’t have access to a beauty supply store you can actually go to your local fabrics store and purchase muslin which is a type of fabric and you can cut those to fit the size that you would like them to be.

We are going to start by preparing the strips, the first thing you’re going to need to do is to have muslin strips that about the same size as the sections or a little larger than the section that you want to wax. So you can fit them to the person’s leg or you can pre-cut them and just have them much large so you know you have covered enough space.

The next thing that you are going to do is to have a dusting powder and your brush available and you are going to prepare the area to be wax. And what I do it you just dust this powder on lightly. It is not important that it’s you know perfect or that you see it for sure but you need to know That powder is going to absorb the excess oil that is in the skin. It is going to then prevent the wax from sticking to skin when you remove it with the muslin strip. You want to make sure that that’s not oily because when you do remove it, if the wax stays on then you are not removing the hair. So that is the purpose for that product.

The next step is you are going to take your spatula, and then you dip it in and get some of your depilatory wax on the spatula. You can test the temperature of the wax prior to your client coming into the room and you put some on the back of your hand and remove it with a muslin strips. Today what I am going to do is a small section just be show you how that wax come off, you just apply it with a spatula, in the direction of the growth of the hair. So it’s going to go down, in this case this person’s legs actually grow in a downward motion, you are going to take one of these muslin strips and you are going to lay it on top of the area of the section you’re waxing and you are going to smooth it on in a consistent, firm motion and keep it on there really tight. You need to make sure that there’s contact, that it’s real secure between the actual skin and the wax, and between the fabric and the wax. And the reason for this is because you are going to be pulling this off in a rapid motion and you need to pull it off against the direction of the hair growth. The reason for this is you need to be able to pull the hair out by the follicle, by the root actually. When you pull it off it’s going to be a short, quick motion, and you see how quickly that came off, and what will happen is the wax, hopefully if you have done it successfully, will have pulled the hair our of the section of the leg.

You can see that section and what you are going to do is if you have any residual wax which in this case we don’t, it is great. If you weren’t successful when you pulled it off and didn’t pull it off quick enough, didn’t pull it off tight enough, you may need to go back with a certain piece of muslin which you can turn your cloth over as I have done, and just quickly go over the area to make sure any residual wax comes up, and then you can have a removal products that use on the skin-The botanically based lotion. Then you just need to apply this to the skin, massage it in and make sure and you can do this by feeling.

Make sure you do not have any sickness, that you are leaving your client with or yourself. Then you are all set. That is the details about how to wax your leg hair.
