This method incorporates the use of warm wax or other cre'me waxes .which consist of rosins and oils and is available in jars or tins. It has a lower operating temperature to that of hot wax of approximately 43°C. The wax is applied as a thin layer using a spatula and is then removed with either a fabric or paper strip dependent upon the therapist's preference. To be more effective, it is advisable that the hair growth is at least a 1/4" long; this is probably the most popular form of waxing as it is quick and very cost effective.
