Leave the cotton in place for a few seconds, allowing the remover to cool slightly and then lift the edge of the cotton strip and remove quickly against the hair growth. Reheat the honey sugar hair remover if necessary and continue apply and remove cotton strips until all unwanted hair has been removed.
