How to use the wax heater?

Waxing is a popular method of removing excess body hair. This procedure can be performed in almost any beauty salon, but many women have started waxing at home on their own.

In many ways, the procedure is facilitated by the presence of devices designed to warm up the wax. With their appearance on the free market, it was no longer necessary to heat the wax in a water bath, which took a lot of time, but in addition, the temperature of the hot wax could not be controlled. A modern wax heater allows not only to quickly melt the wax to the desired temperature, but also maintains it during the procedure at a given level.

Voskoplav is an electric device that heats up wax for depilation. It is quite simple to use the wax heater, since regardless of the type, each of them in their design has a bowl for wax, a heating element, a built-in thermostat and a control system. Depending on what type of wax needs to be heated, all wax melters are divided into 3 types:

• cartridge;
• canned;
• combined.

The design of the wax heater will also depend on the structure of the hair and the frequency of procedures.

Voskoplavs are supplied with a cord with which they are connected to the mains, but the latest generation models are already being produced on a wireless basis. The combi wax melter combines a container compartment in the form of a wax can and a compartment for a cartridge at the same time.Such a multifunctional station is capable of simultaneously heat 500-800 ml of wax and during the day to maintain the mass in working order at a certain temperature.

Each wax heater operates on a regular household 220 V power supply. A can wax melter is capable of heating dense wax to a liquid state with a temperature 120 degrees for 30 minutes. The cartridge version of the device heats up the wax, sealed in a special cassette with a roller, no more than 60 degrees.

To use the wax heater, before turning it on, you must carefully study the instructions that come with each device. Using the instructions, you need to find out the maximum temperature to which you can heat wax in this device.

The regulator can be used to select the heating level for the hot wax as desired. As soon as the heating temperature reaches the limit set by you, the thermostat will turn off the heating, and the indicator light on the device case will go out. When the contents start to cool down, the device will turn on and start heating it again, and the indicator light will turn on again.

The use of the wax melter depends on its design.

In a rectangular cassette, the wax is sealed cold, and to bring it into a liquid state, the cartridge must be warmed up. This will require use a cartridge wax melter, where upright and insert the cassette. After the composition is warmed up, the roller of the cartridge will rotate easily, and if you press it into the skin, turning the cartridge upside down with the roller, the contents will begin to flow to the surface of the epidermis.

For depilation, the heated cartridge is removed from the wax melt and turned off. The disadvantage of the heating method in such a wax melt is that the cartridge must be periodically returned to the apparatus. and wait for the contents to reheat and become usable. But the cartridge also has an undoubted advantage - the wax is dispensed by means of a roller and covers the skin with a very thin layer, enough to adhere the fabric strip and remove the hairs with a sharp tearing motion. One cartridge is enough to treat hands and feet.

The design of the apparatus provides for a removable thicket for melting granular film wax or regular lump wax. In addition, if you take out the removable bowl, then a jar with solidified liquid wax can be heated on the heating element. For use, the device is placed on a flat horizontal surface. The container heats up to the set temperature, while the removable bowl or can of wax from the wax melter does not need to be removed, because the device maintains the desired wax temperature until the depilation procedure is completed.

After the depilation is completed, the bowl of the wax heater must be washed from the wax and dried in order to use it later. Wax from a wax melt bowl or can is applied to the body with a wooden spatula. Then a cloth strip is applied on top and the hair is removed.

In this device, you can heat both can and cartridge wax together or alternately. Each such device has a separate heating option. The principle of using such an apparatus is similar to the two previous wax melters.

Before buying a wax melter, you should clearly understand what type of wax you plan to use.

When warming up wax with a wax heater at home, you must observe precautionary measures.

• The main danger is that the wax melts to a temperature of 120 degrees and, if it gets on the skin, can cause a serious burn. To protect your hands when removing the heating bowl, some appliances have a handle made of heat-resistant material. Almost every wax melter has rubber suction feet in the bottom area on the outer side of the body, with the help of which the device is firmly attached to a horizontal surface, preventing it from tipping over.
• The machine is a mains powered device, so you can use only equipment in good working order, so as not to get an electrical injury.
• Using a heating device at home, the access of children and pets should be limited.
• When using wax-melting equipment in the bathroom, care must be taken to ensure that no water has entered the wax bowl or electrical connectors. In addition, access to the power outlet should be convenient so that the cord at the device does not get pulled up.

Modern wax-melting devices can be produced on a wireless basis. First, you charge the device in the room, and when the recharging is over, you can take the device with you to any place convenient for performing the procedure. At the same time, you no need to look for an electrical outlet and get tangled up in wires... Such a wax melter is compact and convenient, you can even take it with you on a trip and use it in any convenient place.

In order for the device for melting wax to serve for a long time and properly, it is necessary to put it in order after each waxing procedure. The bowl of the wax melter must be regularly cleaned of wax, but ordinary warm water will not cope with this task. Before cleaning the device, it is heated, the melted wax is drained, and the walls are cleaned with a wooden spatula.

Further, for subsequent cleansing, you can use wipes, which are designed to remove wax residues from the skin surface. If you wipe the walls of the wax heater with these napkins, the dirt will remain on the canvas.

The easiest way to clean the wax melter is to use vegetable oil. Any oil is suitable for this purpose, even ordinary sunflower oil. Voskoplav is heated a little, and then wiped with a cloth soaked in vegetable oil. After the wax is removed, wipe the oily walls with a cloth dampened with soapy water. If, after cleaning with oil, residues of wax still remain, then they are removed with alcohol wipes.

The easiest and most effective way to clean the wax heater is a product designed to remove grease and wax contaminants, called Mellerud. The solution is prepared in a 1: 5 ratio with water. You can purchase such a cleaner for equipment at the same outlet where you purchase the wax melter.
