Temperature
The most important criterion for a successful waxing treatment is to find the right temperature. The right working temperature is around 40-45°C. To find this temperature, first heat the wax beads to the maximum temperature of your heater and then turn the temperature down to about halfway between max and medium. Leave the wax at this temperature for 5-10 minutes before applying it. If the wax is not warm enough, it will settle on top of the hairs instead of gripping the hairs. If you find that the wax does not get all the hairs, then in 9 out of 10 cases it is because the wax is not hot enough. However, always make sure that the wax is not so hot that you burn yourself! A good rule of thumb is that the wax should have a liquid consistency, but not flow off our application sticks, as this will mean that the wax is too hot.

Cleaning
It is not necessary to clean the heater after use every time. If you have excess wax, this can easily be heated up the next time you use Pearlwax™, so you can simply leave the excess wax in the heater and heat it up again the next time you use it. However, we recommend that you clean the heater after 2-3 times. This can be done with warm water, mild alcohol and a soft brush. To avoid bacteria, we also recommend that you keep a lid on the heater during heating, cooling and storage.
