How to Wax your Knees at Home?
Carefully read instructions and contraindications before waxing STEP 1 - MEASURE
Refer to our fabulous Beads Measuring Chart. Easy to follow, simply use the large and small cups to measure the amount of wax beads you will need.
For the knees, pour 1 large and 1 small cup-full of Happy Waxing Beads into your empty pink tin.
Place the tin into the heater. Never pour the wax directly into the wax warmer, always use your pink tin.
STEP 2 - HEAT
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.

BOTTOM OF THE KNEE
Apply a small amount of Happy Waxing wax from the center of the kneecap toward the lower leg, in a smooth, continuous motion and in the direction of hair growth.
The application should be thin, leaving a thicker edge which makes the wax easier to lift when removing. Roll and turn the spatula to disconnect and avoid strings.
