HEAT Plug in your Happy Waxing heater, place the lid on and flip on the switch. The wax will take approximately 20-30 minutes to melt.
STIR THE WAX To ensure even heat and achieve a creamy texture, occasionally stir the wax with a wooden spatula. You may notice the heaters red light will turn on and off. This is normal and is maintaining the temperature of the heater. The heater will only be warm to the touch-but the tin itself can become hot.
HEAT TEST Before waxing, apply a small amount of wax to your inner wrist using the spatula. If the wax is too warm, switch off the heater and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Then turn the heater back on and re-test for comfort.

Make sure the hair is 1 ⁄ 4 in (0.64 cm) to 1 ⁄ 2 in (1.3 cm) in length. It's important for your bikini hair to be the ideal length before waxing. Anything under 1 ⁄ 4 in (0.64 cm) is too short – there's not enough hair for the wax to grip. Anything over 1 ⁄ 2 in (1.3 cm) is too long – the wax will grab too much hair and make the process painful. [1]
