Waxing is a hair removal method that involves applying a sticky substance, usually made from wax, to the skin. The wax adheres to the hair, and when it is quickly pulled away, it removes the hair from the root. This process can be done on various body parts, including the legs, arms, and face, and can result in smoother skin for several weeks. There are different types of wax used for this procedure, such as soft wax and hard wax. Soft wax is typically spread thinly and removed with a cloth strip, while hard wax hardens and is pulled off directly. Waxing can be performed at home or in professional salons.
