Everything you need to know about wax melters

Many women use waxing to get rid of unwanted hairs on the body and face. Waxing at home is quite popular. To carry out this procedure, you will need a wax heater, since with it everything will go through quite quickly and easily. In this article, we will look at everything there is to know about wax melters - devices for heating wax.

Epilation is unpleasant and often painful. It is worth noting that evenly heated wax can help reduce pain during hair removal. Previously, a saucepan was used to warm up the wax, and they also made sure that the material did not burn, which took a lot of time and effort.

So, wax melter Is a special device equipped with a thermostat. It works almost identically to the device designed for warming up containers with baby food. The wax heater has the following advantages:

• allows you to melt the wax to the required consistency;
• safety in use;
• compactness, since it does not take up much space;
• in the off mode, maintains the temperature of the wax;
• a small amount of electrical energy is used;
• the wax is heated rather quickly;
• since the device performs quite a few functions, we can talk about its durability, it breaks down quite rarely.

There are also disadvantages of wax heaters, but they depend on the type of device, so we will consider them a little below.

Voskoplav has a specific design. It includes three basic elements:

• stand with a bowl;
• cord for an outlet or stand-base;
• buttons or other elements to control the device.

Voskoplav is designed to facilitate depilation... It is usually used to warm up wax. The device allows you to quickly melt not only wax, but also sugar paste, therefore it is also used for sugaring. Hot wax can stay in the bowl for a long time without losing temperature, which is very important for waxing. Hot wax can be used to epilate the body, for example, legs or armpits, as well as the face, for example, eyebrows.

It should be noted that wax melters used for making candles. Depending on the shape of the bowl itself, the candle can be shaped to the desired shape.

In order to choose the right device for working with wax or sugar paste, you should take a closer look at its varieties, since they have different properties and functions.

This type is suitable for working with large amounts of wax, so it is usually not purchased for home use. It is ideal for salon treatments. To work with a canned wax melter, a spatula (special spatula) must be used. With its help, a heated mass is applied. Can-type models are equipped with thermostats, thanks to which the heating process and maintenance of a certain temperature are controlled. The price of the device is reasonable for both salon and home purchase.

This type of appliance is quite popular for its convenience. Cassettes and cartridges can be used to treat any area of ​​the body. A special device contains wax, and on top is a roller applicator. Applying wax to the skin does not require any handy tools, because it is applied through the applicator in a thin layer, while protecting the skin from burns. To make it easier to keep track of the amount of wax, some models have a special window.

To warm up the wax, you need to insert a cartridge or cassette into the device, while they must match in size. If the model is universal, then it can work with cartridges of different sizes. The method of connecting to the electrical network deserves special attention: can be a cord or a base in the form of a stand. Typically, a cassette instrument allows you to work with both hot and warm material. The price, of course, will pleasantly surprise you, since you can buy a good model for only 1000 rubles. The most expensive options cost 2,000 rubles.

This variation is a mix of the two variations described above. It combines the advantages of both cassette and can types, which is why it is often called double... The disadvantage is the price, because this model is much more expensive than the previous two. You can buy a high-quality device for about 5000-9000 rubles.

Let's take a look at some of the most popular solutions from various manufacturers.

• Irisk Is a cassette wax heater with a thermostat. This device is produced in China. It has 80W of power and has separate buttons to turn each cartridge on and off. The model is sold in a set with two cassettes equipped with windows, so it is quite easy to monitor the wax level in the cassettes. This version has a stand base, so it functions without a cord. You can easily take it with you anywhere in the room. Voskoplav perfectly keeps the temperature of the material 39-40 degrees even after switching off. The manufacturer gives a six-month warranty for this device. If we consider the disadvantages, it should be noted the high cost, but this is to be expected, because the model has quite a few advantages.

• Igrobeauty Is a small cassette wax heater with a power of only 40 watts. It has an indicator light that indicates that the desired wax temperature has been reached when heated. In addition, the model has a side window. Such a mini wax melter will become indispensable on trips, because it will take up a minimum of space.

The wax heats up in just 20 minutes. 400 ml of wax can be prepared at a time, even after turning off the wax heater will maintain the temperature and consistency of the material. A special holder is used to remove the container from the apparatus. Among the shortcomings, it is necessary to note the high price, since it costs about 1,500 rubles, but the warranty is 1 year.

In order to choose the right wax melter, it is recommended to take into account the recommendations of specialists.

• It is important to decide on the depilation area. If you are interested in legs and arms, and the procedure will be carried out once a month, then you can purchase a cassette wax heater with just one cartridge. If the procedure will be carried out on all zones and often, then it is better to purchase a combined type.
• Pay attention to the volume of the cartridge, because a 200 ml cartridge is not suitable for 100 ml cartridges.
• Network connection. If you take the device with a base, then you can move freely around the room, because the length of the cord does not play any role here.
• It should be borne in mind that the device should have a light indicator that will signal that the wax is ready for use.
• Ease of use will also lie in whether there is a window in the cartridge or not. It can help you understand how much wax is left.
• For travel, it is better to purchase a compact model.
• If you are more attracted to canned models, then you should know that they are presented in volumes of 400 and 800 ml. For salon use, it is better to take a larger volume, but 400 ml is also suitable for home.
• The presence of a thermostat will allow you to easily set the desired temperature regime, as well as maintain the set temperature after turning off the device.
• The main thing is to focus on the quality of the device, and the design is already the second point. It is better to buy a wax melter from a famous professional equipment manufacturer.
• Wax type. For a film or polymer look, a canned wax melter is used - these options are very plastic and are sold in granules.

Before purchasing a wax melter, you must pay attention to contraindications for depilation, to know for sure that you can produce it. This kind of manipulation is prohibited during pregnancy, with infectious and oncological diseases, varicose veins, skin lesions, dermatitis or neoplasms.

Regardless of the model of the wax melter purchased, the principle of operation will be almost the same. The main task of the device is to heat the wax to the required temperature and maintain it thanks to the built-in thermostat. This way you can be sure that using hot wax will not burn your skin. Regular waxing will allow you to forget about unwanted hairs, as they become thin over time and practically do not grow. If you decide to use the wax heater at home, you must first read the instructions.

If you have a cassette view, then the cartridge should be inserted into a special compartment, connect the device to the mains... First, the wax is heated, after about 20 minutes you can remove the cassette. Initially, it needs to be turned over so that the video is at the bottom. In just a few seconds, you can start applying the wax to your skin. Spread the wax in a thin layer while adhering to the direction of hair growth. After that, you need to press a piece of cloth or paper against the waste area and carefully smooth it out. When the wax hardens, you can tear off the material with one hand, but only in the opposite direction, but with the other hand, be sure to hold the skin.

If you are using a cartridge for depilation, then it is better to prepare strips of fabricbecause they are durable and also reusable.

If you have purchased a canning machine for home use, then several recommendations should be followed. Place the wax in a bowl, close the lid tightly and wait 20 minutes until the material is completely heated. The device turns itself off if it has an automatic shutdown function. For a canning device, you must also purchase a spatula - with its help, wax will be applied to the skin. When applying, it is necessary to adhere to the direction of hair growth, and tear off in the opposite direction. With the help of a canned wax melter, in a few minutes, the wax granules turn into an elastic mass, since they are already heated to 120 degrees.

If the wax is in a jar, then put on a ring before using it, so the surface around the jar will remain protected.

If you do not have a wax melter, or it is broken, then you can use other solutions.

• Microwave... You can take a jar (without foil) or a cartridge (in a heat-resistant container) and put it in the microwave. The device needs to be turned on for only half a minute if it has a power of 1000 watts.
• Water bath... This method is quite popular. You should take a wide saucepan and fill it with water, but a little. Next, a container with wax is placed in the pan. When the water boils, the temperature should be reduced. Next, wait until the wax becomes pasty. Usually the material is ready for use in 10 minutes.

Voskoplavs are very popular, since they are purchased not only for salon use, but also for hair removal at home. The assortment of models from different manufacturers allows you to choose the best option for each, depending on personal preferences and wishes. If you are just getting acquainted with the waxing procedure, then it is better to focus on the cassette type. Experts prefer canned or combined devices. You should not skimp on the device, because you always have to pay for excellent quality. A high-quality device will serve you for a long time.

Many girls who have just started using the device note that the procedure is performed quite quickly with a wax heater.... Cassette models protect the skin from burns, which is very important when there is no experience with this procedure yet. More experienced ones are already purchasing canned options. They are attracted by the ease of use, because you can purchase the device on the base-stand, then there is no need to adjust to the location of the outlet.

If we talk about the shortcomings, then it depends specifically on the model.... Some manufacturers do not provide instructions in Russian, which becomes an unpleasant surprise if you do not know another language. Compact models cannot prepare a large amount of material. If you need to epilate several zones, you will have to pause to wait for a new portion of wax to be prepared for use. Some girls are not satisfied with the cost of wax melters, but their variety allows you to find very inexpensive models.
