What is the correct procedure for applying and removing soft wax on the legs?

The correct procedure for applying and removing soft wax on the legs involves applying the wax in the direction of hair growth and removing it against the direction of hair growth. This method is effective because it ensures that the hair is being pulled out from the root, reducing the chance of breakage. When the wax is applied in the same direction as the hair growth, it adheres well to the hair shafts, allowing easier and more efficient removal when pulled against the hair growth.

Using this technique minimizes discomfort for the client as it creates a smoother removal process, allowing for better adherence of the wax to the hair and less irritation to the skin. Understanding this principle is vital for ensuring optimal results during hair removal procedures, making it crucial for estheticians to master the correct technique for waxing.
