When performing a waxing service on the legs, select a wax formula according to what?

• A. Hair texture
• B. Hair color
• C. Skin tone
• D. Growth rate

Answer: (A)

Choosing a wax formula by hair texture means matching how thick and coarse the leg hair is to how the wax grips and removes it. Hair texture—fine, medium, or coarse—directly affects which wax will pull cleanly with minimal passes and reduced irritation. Fine hairs may respond well to gentler formulas, while coarse hairs often require a stronger grip or a hard wax to capture the hairs effectively. Skin tone or hair color don’t influence the wax’s performance, and growth rate doesn’t determine which formula to use; those factors relate to scheduling or regrowth, not how the wax adheres to hair. So the best choice is to select the wax formula based on hair texture.
