What material is pellon used to make?

  1. Facial masks

  2. Wax strips

  3. Hair rollers

  4. Cleansing pads

The correct answer is: Wax strips

Pellon is a type of non-woven fabric that is often used in the production of wax strips. This material is designed to be lightweight yet sturdy, making it suitable for adhering to hair and facilitating effective hair removal. The smooth texture of pellon helps in creating a consistent and even waxing experience, allowing for easy application and removal while minimizing irritation to the skin. While pellon has various applications in the beauty industry—such as crafting, interfacing, and other fabric-based uses—it is particularly notable for its effectiveness in creating wax strips. Other options, like facial masks, hair rollers, and cleansing pads, typically require different materials that cater to their specific functions, such as absorbency in cleansing pads or flexibility in hair rollers.
