Understanding Roll-On Wax
Roll-on wax is a type of soft wax housed in a cartridge with a roller head.
The design allows for easy application, reducing mess and ensuring a consistent wax layer. It allows wax to be applied directly to the skin and saves the user from mixing or interacting directly with the wax. It's ideal for large areas like legs, arms, and backs.
Roll-on Wax should not be used on facial or intimate areas.
Preparation
Exfoliation:
- Exfoliate the client's skin 24-48 hours before the waxing session. This removes dead skin cells, reduces the risk of ingrown hairs, and ensures better wax adhesion to the hair.
Cleanse:
- Clean the area and use pre-wax gel to remove any oils, lotions, or sweat. This step is crucial for effective waxing and reducing the risk of infection.
Check Wax Temperature:
- Ensure the wax is at the correct temperature. It should be warm but not too hot to avoid burns. Most professional wax heaters have a temperature control feature.
