Hair Removal

A basic guide to knowing different rica wax types:

Rica Warm Soft wax

Warm soft waxes are spreadable rica waxes that need to be heated before application. These waxes have a liquid-y consistency post-melting, and they are sticky in texture. They are the most effective in pulling out hair as the heated formula reaches around the pores and clasps the hair nicely.

Warm Hard wax

These hair removal waxes solidify after application and act as the strip themselves. They require to be heated and applied evenly on the skin area in comparatively thicker layers. They are used for sensitive areas such as the face, underarms, and bikini lines.

Rica Cold Wax

Cold waxes are meant to be taken right out of the pot and applied to the skin. It is suggested that you rub the area after pushing the wax strip above the applied cold wax so that it melts a little and provides grip. They are preferred by many as they eliminate the risk of skin-burning hazards during waxing.

Strip wax

Rica Strip waxes come prepared in the form of thin layers of cold wax on thin fabric strips. They just need to be pressed against the skin and yanked off in the direction opposite to the hair growth. Since they utilize a cold wax formula, they can go over your skin several times. They are ideal for speedy applications and first-time waxers.

Roll-on wax

Rica Roll-on waxes are the most convenient hair removal wax system. They are plastic cartridges filled with soft wax. They have an applicator head at one end that allows for thin application. The cartridge is heated using a heater which is fitted with metal plates that radiate heat evenly and melt the wax to the right consistency and temperature.

Bead wax

Rica Bead waxes work like hard waxes, but they are shaped in the form of tiny beads. They need to be melted in a rica wax heater before application. They are convenient to store and allow for small quantities of wax to be used at a time. They are used for precise waxing and waxing sensitive areas.

Benefits of hair removal through waxing:

• Waxing is the most effective exfoliator. It rids you of your dead skin cells, hence, doing away with the dull and lackluster skin and giving your skin a smooth and glossy finish.
• Waxing over several sessions causes hair to grow back finer and sparser. This is because uprooting hair causes repeated damage to the follicles.
• Waxing slows down your hair growth cycle, so it increases the duration between your hair removal appointments.
• Compared to other hair removal methods such as tweezing and threading, waxing, though painful is quick and has added benefits for the skin.
• Shaving and tweezing involve the risk of skin inflammation and cuts and nicks. Choices such as soft wax and strip wax do not involve heating at all and give outstanding hair removal results.
