What should be done with wax after it has been applied?

Leaving the wax on until it cools is the appropriate procedure after application because it allows the wax to adhere properly to the hair and skin. This cooling period enables the wax to grip the hair effectively, which is crucial for a successful hair removal process. If the wax is removed too quickly, it may not remove the hair efficiently and could cause discomfort for the client.

In contrast, removing the wax immediately would likely result in ineffective hair removal and increased discomfort, as the wax needs time to bond with the hair. Allowing the wax to set for a few minutes can be beneficial in some cases, but it’s not ideal as it could lead to the wax hardening too much, making it difficult to remove. Reapplying wax is not necessary unless there are areas of hair that were missed during the first application, and it should be done carefully after the initial wax has been removed.
