What is the minimum hair length recommended for effective removal with hot wax?

The minimum hair length recommended for effective removal with hot wax is typically around 1 centimeter. This length allows the wax to grip the hair adequately, ensuring effective removal from the follicle. If the hair is too short, the wax may not adhere well enough, leading to patchy results and the possibility of hair breakage rather than complete removal. Conversely, if the hair is too long, it may be painful to remove, and the process may become less efficient. Therefore, achieving a balance at approximately 1 centimeter ensures both efficacy and client comfort during the waxing procedure.
