2. Before depilation, treat the skin with disinfectants and a degreaser. The latter will improve the adhesion of the wax to the hair. If you don't have a degreaser, you can use talcum powder, baby powder, or lotion.
3. Grow your hair. The procedure is carried out with a hair length of 5 mm. Otherwise, the wax will not be able to adhere to the hair, and then depilation will be meaningless. Therefore, about a week before waxing, it is worth setting aside the machine.
