"Now I'm going to do the other eyebrow and we're going to use the strips and the soft wax to show you the difference. This wax tends to be a little thinner, than the other wax, than the hard wax, because it's called a soft wax for that reason. It does run off the end f the stick a little bit more so but you want to make sure that you're able to get rid of the tail or the streamer, because that stuff makes like this big long string and it's really sticky. So make sure your wax is on the stick, it's not dripping, again your heat test and this actually goes on the eyebrow in a thinner manner. You actually put it on nice and thin. You put it on in the direction of the hair growth, then you take your cloth strip and you want to put right on top of in a lightly pressing motion, again in the direction of the hair growth. Press that cloth strip on to the wax and on to the hair. When you remove it, you're going to remove it against the hair growth, from the outside of the eye towards the nose. Once you can see that the cloth strip has been stuck to the wax pretty good, hold the skin tight and pull the wax off in one quick motion. If there's any wax, there's a little dab of wax left on here, you can actually just stick it to the strip and just pull it back off and that removes the strip, the soft wax using the cloth strips. "
