How is hard wax removed?

The correct method to remove hard wax involves lifting the wax edge and pulling directly back. This technique is effective because hard wax adheres to the hair and skin but not as strongly as with soft wax. When you lift the edge of the set hard wax, it allows you to maintain the proper angle and direction while pulling, which minimizes discomfort and optimizes hair removal. By pulling directly back against the growth of the hair, you ensure a cleaner and more efficient removal, as it helps to avoid breakage and reduces the likelihood of irritation.

The other methods mentioned may not produce the desired results for hard wax. Rubbing with a cloth could inadvertently cause irritation to the skin and does not effectively remove the wax. Pulling off with adhesive strips is typically associated with soft wax, not hard wax, as hard wax is designed to be removed without additional products. Wiping with baby oil may break down the wax but is not an efficient or recommended method for removal, as it could leave residue and require further cleansing of the area.
