How to melt depilatory wax at home without a wax heater?

Today the wax depilation procedure is so popular that many perform it on their own at home. This requires only special materials and equipment for melting wax. In the salons, they use special devices for preparing wax for work, which are called wax melters. In this article, we will show you how to melt depilatory wax at home without a wax heater.

Wax depilation is how effective and easy to carry out a procedure that absolutely any person, both a professional and a beginner, can carry it out.

Depending on the type, this material requires kindling or heating. It is very easy to melt depilatory wax without a wax melter.

To carry out the procedure, you will need equipment such as:

• pot;
• thermometer;
• microwave;
• enamelled tank;
• stirring paddle.

Which of the above items will need to be taken depends on the melting method you choose. Let's see what they are.

At home, if you know the technology of the procedure, absolutely any wax can be melted or heated.

Let's look at the simplest and most popular ways to melt wax using available tools.

This is one of the simplest methods, although the most time consuming. This is due to the fact that the water boils for a long time to the desired temperature. For the procedure, you need to take the following elements:

• a bowl or large saucepan with high sides and a thick bottom;
• container for wax;
• spoon or wooden spatula;
• thermometer.

The smelting process consists of the following stages:

1. a bowl or pan must be filled with water by a third;
2. inside, install a container in which wax has already been placed;
3. turn on the stove; the fire should not be strong;
4. in the process of heating the water, the wax begins to melt; it constantly needs to be stirred with a spoon or spatula and not to boil;
5. on average, the melting time in a water bath is 8 minutes.

You can remove the wax from the heat when the consistency becomes homogeneous. Before starting the depilation procedure, check its temperature.

Using this method, you can easily melt wax granules.

This is another option that can be used to warm up film wax and melt granular. This method is used by absolutely everyone who has a microwave oven. With the help of a microwave, the wax melts much faster.

Follow the next instruction:

1. put the material in a heat-resistant dish, be sure to remove the protective coating from it;
2. place the container with wax in the microwave;
3. set the time depending on the power of the household appliance - experienced melters recommend setting the timer for 30 seconds first; if this time is not enough for melting, the consistency of the material has not become homogeneous, you can repeat the procedure.

Before use also you need to measure the temperature of the composition. To do this, apply a small amount to your hand. If there is no discomfort, you can start the depilation procedure. If the wax has cooled down during the hair removal process, it can be warmed up.

Whichever method of melting you choose, you need to have some useful information about the product you are going to melt.

This temperature indicator is considered the most optimal. The raw material gradually changes its structure, but does not have time to boil.

It is very important not to forget about your own safety. It is advisable to melt the material, especially if you have chosen the "steam bath" method using PPE. Wearing gloves on your hands will help protect your hands from possible hot, molten product contamination.

Earlier, we talked about the most commonly used methods for heating and melting wax at home. But there are a few more effective ones.

• Using an enamelled tank. This is a very lengthy process, which is relevant only if you need to melt a fairly large amount of bee product. For the process, you will need 2 tanks and gauze. Material is placed in one tank and covered with gauze, and the second tank, filled with water, is set on fire. When the water in the tank begins to boil, you need to install another on it, cover with a tight lid. This "construction" is on fire for at least 2 hours, and the cooling period is 12 hours.
• Melting in hot water. You need to take a deep enamel pan in which to place the wax. Fill the container with spring or melt water. If there is none, then a regular, but filtered one will do. It is strongly not recommended to take water from the tap. A saucepan with water and bee products is placed over low heat. Gradually, the water in the container will heat up and the wax will melt. When the product is completely melted, it will begin to float to the surface.With the help of any convenient object - a spoon, a wooden spatula or a strainer, it is collected. On average, this process takes 30 minutes.
