Waxing is a procedure to remove unwanted hair from its roots. In some areas hot, "soft" wax is applied to the skin, and a strip of cloth or paper is pressed into the preparation. The strip is then quickly pulled away, taking hairs with it. In other areas hot, "hard" wax is applied to the skin and allowed to cool. The cooled wax is then quickly pulled away, taking hairs with it.
