When removing wax from the center of the brows, in which direction should you pull?

With hair growth
Opposite of hair growth
To the side
Upward

The correct answer is: Opposite of hair growth

When removing wax from the center of the brows, pulling in the opposite direction of hair growth is essential for effective hair removal. This method ensures the hair is pulled out from the root, reducing the chances of breakage and minimizing discomfort for the client. When the wax strip is pulled against the direction of hair growth, it allows for a smoother and more efficient extraction, which can lead to better results in terms of a clean and precise appearance. Pulling with the direction of hair growth may not remove the hair completely, resulting in a patchy or uneven eyebrow shape. Choosing to pull to the side or upward also does not align with the natural growth pattern of the brow hairs, which can lead to ineffective waxing and potential irritation. Therefore, pulling in the opposite direction provides the most effective and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
