    method of hair removal using warm or cold wax

    Waxing is a method of hair removal that involves applying a warm or cold wax to the skin, which adheres to the hair. When the wax is quickly pulled away, it removes the hair from the root, resulting in smoother skin for a longer period compared to shaving. This technique can be used on various parts of the body and is effective for both fine and coarse hair.
