So, here we will be covering up some of the major types of waxing and It’s pros and cons to help you decide better.
1.Hot waxing:
This is normal form of waxing, where we need to heat the wax and then apply it on skin. Then you apply the strips and remove them.

• Removes tan too.
• The leftover hair is very short and thus the skin looks very clean.
- Cons of hot waxing:
- Leads to bumps and burns every now and then.
- Can be a bit messy.
- Not effective for very small hair.
