![]() You still want it fluid enough that it will spread on the skin without tugging - so ensure there is still some flexibility in the wax as you pull it from the warmer and twirl it on your spatula.įor the facial areas like the brows and lip, the wax temperature will need to be slightly warmer. Liz has her half full 1lb Nova Hard Wax Warmer set at 55 to maintain that perfect, tacky consistency. While Nova is a one-size-fits-all hard wax (yes, sensitive skin peeps included!), the temperature of it is not.įor the larger areas like the legs, arms and underarms, the wax consistency needs to be a bit tackier. However, in order for it to work effectively, you do need to play with the temperature and customize it for the area you are waxing. The beauty of Nova Wax’s hybrid hard wax formula is that you can use it anywhere - so there is no need to keep a stock of different waxes to target specific areas! ![]() Tailor Your Wax Temperature to the Area You are Waxing If it is dripping everywhere, it is too hot.ģ. If you can “scoop” the wax onto your stick and twirl it with control - it’s perfect. ![]() If your room is a little warm, you may need to keep the warmer at a lower temperature or even turn it off at some points to ensure that the wax doesn’t get too hot in the warmer. Not only does the amount of wax in your pot affect the consistency, the temperature of the room can have an influence on it as well. This is why it is so much more important to see how the wax feels on your stick than trying to stick to an exact temperature. Our videos could show a wax warmer set at 75 with a perfect consistency, and you could be following the exact same temperature suggestion and your consistency could be looking more wacky than tacky. Paying attention to the hard wax consistency is priority over sticking to a specific degree on your knob.

Your ideal consistency will be a happy medium between tacky wax in the center and the really hot “lava wax” on the edges. Once you’ve mixed the wax around a bit, lower the temperature down to between 55-65 so the really hot wax has a chance to cool and set to find the perfect consistency. Mix the melted wax around with the tacky center to get an even distribution of heat. If you have a half pot, three minutes will be ideal but if your pot is full to the brim, leave it a little longer.Īt this point you will notice there is a very tacky center and really fluid hot wax on the edges. The amount of wax you have in your pot will affect the temperature and the consistency of the wax, so make adjustments as needed. This will allow the wax to melt down quickly to give you a good base - but do not leave it too long! Place your Nova hard wax into your 1lb Nova Hard Wax Warmer and leave it at the max for about 3 to 5 minutes and then check on it. Max temperature always sounds scary but this is the temperature your wax pot should be on to start everything off. Set Your Warmer's Temperature to the Max so the Wax can Melt Down Fully
