In which direction should wax be removed in relation to hair growth?

Wax should be removed against hair growth for several reasons. When waxing, the wax adheres to the hair strands, and pulling the wax in the opposite direction of hair growth helps to efficiently remove the hair from the follicle. This method minimizes the amount of hair left behind, leading to a smoother finish.

Pulling against the hair growth also disrupts the adhesion of the hair to the follicle, reducing discomfort during the waxing process. It is important to remember that removing the wax in the correct direction is crucial not only for effective hair removal but also for minimizing pain and potential ingrown hairs.

Using any other direction, such as with the hair growth or at an angle, would not provide the same degree of effectiveness in removing the hair and might result in a more painful experience or less effective waxing overall.
