How should a wax strip be removed?

In the same direction as hair growth
Gently
In the opposite direction of hair growth
Slowly and carefully

The correct answer is: In the opposite direction of hair growth

When using a wax strip, it is important to remove it in the opposite direction of hair growth. This allows for the most effective removal of hair and prevents breaking or damaging the hair follicles. Removing the strip in the same direction as hair growth may leave some hair behind and make the process less effective. Similarly, removing it too gently or too slowly may cause the strip to not be completely removed, resulting in patchy hair removal.
