[Sticky] ITEC waxing

RE: ITEC waxing

Hi there

Advantages of cool wax:
-The lower working temp makes this method suitable for sensitive skins.
-The application and removal of this method is quick. Half leg wax should take 15mins.
-Re-growth is tapered and soft, taking upto 6 wks to grow back.
-Shorter hairs may be treated.
-It is clean and easy to use.

Disadvantages:
-It is not as efficient with removal of coarse dark hair as the hot method.
-if the therapist is not proficient in its use the removal can be sticky.
-Can be painful.
-This method is not permanent.
-May cause ingrowin hairs.

Hope this helps you
Good luck!
