What should not be used to heat wax for hair removal?

Microwave
Professional wax warmer
Stovetop
Both Microwave and Stovetop

The correct answer is: Microwave

Using a microwave to heat wax for hair removal is not recommended because it can cause the wax to overheat and pose a risk of burns or skin damage. The professional wax warmer is specifically designed for heating wax to the optimal temperature and ensuring a safe and effective hair removal process. Similarly, using a stovetop may also result in overheating and should be avoided. It is best to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the wax and use the recommended heating method for best results. Therefore, the answer is not using the microwave (option A).
