A cloth or paper strip is then pressed on the top and ripped off with a quick movement against the direction of hair growth.

Regular use of this method of hair removal makes the hair becomes weaker and much less visible. New hair will not grow back in the previously waxed area for two to eight weeks, although some people will start to see regrowth in only a week.
