Hot wax is a type of stripless wax that is applied directly to the skin in a thick layer. As it cools and hardens, it grips tightly around the hairs. Once set, the wax is quickly pulled off by hand, removing the hairs from the root.
Unlike strip wax, hot wax doesn’t stick to the skin as much—this makes it ideal for sensitive areas like the bikini line, underarms, and face. The heat helps open the pores and relax the hair follicles, making the process less painful and more effective at removing coarse or short hairs.
