The Ultimate Guide to Waxing: Hot Wax, Strip Wax, and Film Wax

Waxing is a popular hair removal method that offers smooth and long-lasting results. But with so many types of wax available, choosing the right one can be confusing. Not all waxes are created equal.

With over 30 years of experience in Southern Africa & the European Union, Melinda is celebrated as a leading expert in professional wax training for intimate and full-body waxing, catering to all genders.

Melinda unveiled the gamechanging Supernova Wax® in Southern Africa, a departure from traditional pine rosin-based waxes created entirely from synthetic materials.

Despite initial doubts from cosmeticians, they quickly discovered its unique advantages. The Supernova Wax® significantly reduces skin irritations and allergies, leaving minimal redness and discomfort, revolutionising the waxing experience.

Melinda’s belief in the power of innovation-led her to focus on technological advancements. These advancements, including the development of the multidirectional base for the hot wax that caters to unique hair types for all genders have revolutionised the waxing industry, making the application and removal of wax seamless and completed within minutes.

As part of her unwavering commitment to modernisation, Melinda introduced the My Wax My Way® concept that revolutionises the customisation of colouring wax bases and champions environmental sustainability. This groundbreaking innovation, now available as a designer Colour Pastille adds a touch of fun to waxing. This latest offering is a testament to Melinda’s dedication to sustainable practices and her ongoing efforts to minimise the environmental footprint to ensure a greener future for all.

PREMIUM BODY HOT WAX

Supernova Depil® Premium Body Hot Wax is a unique multidirectional beeswax blend for sensitive skin. It is best used for waxing hair on the underarms, body, and intimate areas. This wax can be used for different hair types. When waxing the finer hair, apply it in the same direction as hair growth to achieve smooth removal. If you have stronger hair, using the wax in the opposite direction of hair growth will provide a better grip on shorter and stronger hairs. Always remove the wax in the opposite direction of hair growth for the best results.

Supernova Depil® Premium Face Film Wax is a vegan wax perfect for sensitive skin. It can be applied thinly and removed quickly and easily without causing breakage during face waxing. For sensitive skin, it can also be used for the underarms and intimate areas. The Supernova Depil® Premium Face Film Wax should be applied in the same direction as hair growth for a smooth and even layer. It should be removed in the opposite direction, parallel to the skin, to prevent hair breakage and ensure a clean, silky finish.

PREMIUM ULTRAVIOLET STRIP WAX

The Supernova Depil® Premium Ultraviolet Strip Wax 800ml is vegan, hypoallergenic, and excellent for sensitive skin types. It is ideal for men and women and can be used in smaller areas, such as the fingers, toes, knees, and hardto-reach areas. It’s also great for preferred spatula waxing techniques for larger areas like the arms, legs, chest, and back. When utilising strip wax, it is important to apply a thin layer of wax in the same direction as the hair growth using a wooden spatula.

Subsequently, firmly press and rub the wax strip and remove it in the opposite direction. Strip waxes are not recommended for use on facial areas. Instead, it is advisable to utilise Supernova Depil® Premium Face Film Wax for face waxing to prevent skin lifting.

Happy Waxing!
