When it comes to choosing between hot waxing and cold waxing, you might find it tricky to make the choice. However, choosing the ideal waxing option for your needs is not that difficult, provided you have a basic idea on how one differs from the other.

While the wax used for both hot waxing and cold waxing is generally made from the same ingredients (paraffin and lubricator), the major difference between them is the temperature at which the wax is applied on the skin. Beijing Brazilian Wax
Here’s taking a look at the procedures and advantages and disadvantages of hot and cold wax so that you can make an informed decision.

#1: Basic Process

When you are using hot wax, you need to melt it before you apply it on the skin. As the melted wax loses some heat, it sticks to the skin. Then you need to press a piece of cloth on the wax. The next and final step is to pull the cloth against the direction of hair growth and in the process, hair get pulled out.

Cold wax is often used in the form of ready-made waxing strips. The cold wax strips are pressed down in the direction of hair growth, and they are quickly pulled in the opposite direction.



#2: Advantages

Both hot waxing and cold waxing have their unique advantages.
 
The advantages of hot wax include:

• The heat helps to open the pores and hair follicles, thus making hair removal easier.
• Hot wax helps to strip hair without irritating your skin. Professionals often recommend hot wax for those having sensitive skin.
• Hot wax provides a better grip of your hair than cold wax.
• With hot waxing, removing shorter hair becomes easy.
• With hot wax, there is a lesser chance of reddening of the skin.

However, people often prefer cold wax to hot wax because:

• Cold wax strips are easier to use.
• It is a faster way of hair removal.
• It is a comfortable way of waxing during the hot days of summer.

#3: Disadvantages

Although both forms of waxing have a number of advantages, they also have certain disadvantages that you should take into account.

The disadvantages of using hot wax are:

• Hot wax is a slower process than cold waxing.
• With hot waxing, it is tough to wax larger areas at once.

On the other hand, the disadvantages of cold wax include:

• It might cause skin irritation.
• It can also increase the chance of developing ingrown hairs.

So, now that you know the basic difference between hot wax and cold wax, choose one that suits your needs the best.
