For licensed estheticians performing strip-wax hair removal services on coarse, curly, or stubborn hair. It is best suited to dry or dehydrated skin types, where its titanium dioxide buffer helps reduce tackiness during strip removal. This is a professional-use wax, not intended for at-home application without training in strip-wax technique.

Coarse and curly hair is one of the harder textures to wax cleanly — it tends to break at the surface rather than pull from the root with a wax that isn't built for it. This formula's stickiness and grip are tuned for that hair type, and the titanium dioxide buffer keeps the wax from tugging as hard on skin that's already dry or dehydrated, which is where strip waxing tends to cause the most redness and irritation.

1. Remove the plastic lid, slide the protective collar onto the wax container, and place it in the warmer.
2. Heat until the wax reaches a syrup-like consistency.
3. Cleanse the area to be waxed with a pre-wax skin cleanser.
4. Using a wooden spatula, apply a thin layer of wax in the direction of hair growth.
5. Press an epilating strip over the waxed area, smoothing firmly in the direction of hair growth.
6. Hold the skin taut and pull the strip quickly in the opposite direction of hair growth, keeping it close to the skin. Do not reapply wax to the same area.
7. Apply a post-wax product to remove any residue once the area is fully waxed.
8. Avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area for 24 hours before and after waxing.

Pros:

• Formulated specifically for coarse and curly hair that many general-purpose waxes struggle to grip
• Titanium dioxide buffer reduces the tacky, irritating pull common with strip waxing on dry skin

Cons:

• Not designed for fine or sparse hair, where a gentler wax may give better results
• As a soft/strip wax it requires an electric warmer and epilating strips, so it isn't a grab-and-go product without that setup already in place
