At what angle should wax be applied?

The correct angle for applying wax during hair removal is 45° to the skin. This angle is optimal because it allows for a more effective and efficient application of the wax, ensuring that it adheres well to the hair while minimizing the potential for discomfort when removing the wax.

Applying the wax at 45° helps to create a smooth layer that properly coats the hair, which is essential for ensuring that the hair is pulled out from the root when the wax is removed. This angle also aids in controlling the force applied to the skin, which helps in reducing irritation and making the process more comfortable for the client.

Using a steeper angle, such as 90°, could result in the wax not adhering properly or could increase the risk of skin irritation, while a flatter angle like 30° may not allow for effective removal of hair. The 45° angle strikes a balance between effectiveness and skin safety, making it the best choice for waxing applications.
