Getting body hair waxed at a hair salon is one of the most popular services that these professionals offer. Many areas of the body grow hair, but mostly people get their facial hair waxed at a hair salon. When it comes to waxing, Hill n Dale residents might be concerned with if it is going to hurt or not from pulling the hair out, but there is another issue to worry about when trying to apply hair wax by yourself. Hair wax needs to be heated in order to be applied, but this can cause someone who is inexperienced to burn themselves if they are not being careful.
How do People Burn Themselves with Hair Wax?
Most of the time when someone is trying to do a home hair waxing, Hill n Dale residents will have to warm it up with something that is convenient, such as the microwave or the stove. These methods will definitely get the wax hot enough so that it is more malleable to be applied, but there is no way to control the temperature of the wax. This causes some users to heat up their hair wax to a much higher temperature than is needed. Once they apply this hot wax to their skin, they often end up burning themselves because they didn’t think it would be so hot.
How do Hair Professionals Make Waxing Safer?
Even though people can burn themselves on hair wax, this should not stop them from getting a professional waxing. Hill n Dale residents should know that hair professionals that offer hair waxing to their customers often have custom wax warmers that make it just the right temperature to be safe. These wax burners are very similar to candle burners. Even these burners can run a little warm, so it is always a good idea for the hair professional to remove the wax from the burner and hold it a couple of seconds before it is applied. This ensures that the temperature will cool down before being applied directly to a client’s skin.
