Waxing: hot wax or cold wax?

Hot wax
Hot waxing with bands or oriental wax is the method most used in the institute. And for good reason, since no hair or down can resist the sharp and precise hand. Today, it is quite possible to reproduce this gesture alone, at home, as a great! Potted, roll-on, tubes, all forms have been thought to wax everywhere. No contraindications for the face and eyebrows, the shirt and of course the big surfaces like the arms and the legs.
 
The +: the regrowth time is much longer than other methods. For example, for armpits, it takes more than two weeks and for arms up to a month. The hot wax is very precise and radical.
 
The - : the heat. In addition to the pain of tearing at the root, the risk of burns are very common. The wax must be thick as honey and not liquid. If in doubt, blow on the wax and pat on the forearm. It is also because of this problem that waxing is not recommended for women with heavy legs and poor circulation.

Cold wax
Ultra convenient for hair removal, neither seen nor known on holidays or weekends. The principle is the same as the hot wax since it is to pull the hair at its root which differs the regrowth by at least two weeks. The cold wax is applied in strips, which is also hygienic for the phobics of the microbe.
 
The +: for the same result as hot wax, the risk of burns is rushed. In addition, the different formulas respect sensitive skin. This method is also highly economical since the same band can be used several times.
 
The - : the cold wax spreads less well than the hot one, which means that all the hairs can not be torn off as efficiently, especially the finest and short ones. We must wait for a regrowth of at least 5 mm, not very glamorous on the beach ! In addition, the thick texture is more suitable for large areas than under the armpits, for example, where the direction of the hairs is not homogeneous. Finally, like hot wax, you have to get used to the pain: you may have tears that come to your eyes the first time.
