There are several methods of waxing, but three common waxing methods include

Strip Waxing

This method involves spreading the thin layer of warm wax over the skin, followed by the application of strips of cloth or paper. Then the strip is pulled quickly in the opposite direction of the hair to get it removed. Strip waxing is commonly used for large areas of your body like legs and arms.

Hard Waxing

In this method, the warm wax is spread directly onto the skin, when the wax cools and hardens, allowing it to be peeled off without a strip. Hard waxing is often preferred for more sensitive areas like the face and bikini line.

Sugaring 

This method uses a sticky paste made up of sugar, lemon juice and water, which is applied to the skin to remove hair. Sugaring is a popular alternative to traditional waxing methods, as the process is all-natural and less likely to create irritation and injury.
