During a hair removal service using soft wax, in what direction should the strip be removed?

During a hair removal service using soft wax, the strip should be removed in the opposite direction of hair growth to achieve the best results. This method allows the wax to effectively grip the hair, pulling it out from the follicle with the root intact. When the strip is pulled in this manner, it minimizes breakage and enhances the likelihood of a smoother finish since the hair is extracted from its root rather than just breaking at the surface.

Using this technique is essential in professional hair removal services, as it not only improves efficacy but also leads to a more comfortable experience for the client. This contrasts with other methods where the strip is removed in the direction of hair growth, which can result in less effective hair removal and is typically not recommended in soft wax applications.
