Learn to apply soft wax safely by testing on the wrist, applying a thin layer in the direction of hair growth, and removing with a muslin strip while supporting skin.

Check wax consistency and test temperature on your wrist, then apply a thick nickel-sized layer against hair growth and back to lift hairs; move parallel to skin and remove quickly.

Learn how to prepare and use a roll-on wax cartridge, heat the wax, apply at a 45-degree angle along hair growth, and remove with a strip, plus aftercare.
