Cold wax strips

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cold wax strips are paper strips coated with a special wax mixture , which are used for epilation of body hair.

The area of ​​application is primarily leg and armpit hair as well as chest hair in men. The use of private parts is possible, but due to the thickness of the pubic hair complicated and as a result often worse in comparison with warm wax or epilator . It is usually used at home.

As with all temporary epilation procedures, the application is very painful, but the results are far more long-lasting than with shaving . The sticky wax compound, which is difficult to remove, is often seen as a disadvantage, but it can be removed relatively easily with the often enclosed cleaning cloths or perfume-free oil.
