Step-by-step: Common mistakes and their solutions
Mistake 1: Incorrect application
Many people apply wax like cream or oil – with broad, gliding motions. This leads to uneven coverage and ineffective hair removal. Solution: Hold the spatula perpendicular to the skin and apply with pressure, shaping an oval with a well-defined edge for easier removal.
Mistake 2: Incorrect spatula handling
When the spatula is held at an angle, the application becomes uneven, and the layer is either too thin or too thick. Solution: Keep the spatula upright (perpendicular to the skin) and move confidently with slight pressure – this way you control the direction and thickness of the layer.
Mistake 3: Dipping instead of scooping
Dipping the spatula into the wax without scooping results in too little product and the wrong texture. Solution: Scoop and “wrap” the wax around the spatula by slightly rotating your wrist – this ensures you have the right amount at the right temperature and consistency.
Tips from the WaXx team:
If the wax is difficult to pull off, check the consistency – it might be too hot or applied incorrectly.
Always make sure you work on clean, dry skin.
With these small but important adjustments, you’ll achieve much better results – and feel more confident with every session. Check out our other videos for more tips and tricks.
