Hard wax is used for hair removal but the application and removal is a bit different than the soft wax. Let’s see how it differs from the soft version, where to use it and how it works
How does it differs from Strip Wax
• Strips not required- no requirement of muslin or pellonstrip, hence saves money and waste age.
• Thicker layer- a thicker layer of about ½ to 1 cm is applied on the skin for hair removal.
• Heat it- it is heated up in a warmer or a microwave as per the instructions and has a low melting point than soft wax.
• Leave todry- it needs to be hardened/dried before removing otherwise it cracks and won’tremove hair.
• Reduction power- it shrinks wraps the hair instead of just sticking; this ability removes the shorter hair as well.
• Use oil instead of powder- after cleansing the skin pre-depilatory oil is applied before waxing.
Where to Use No Strip Hard Wax
• Used in Bikini and Brazilian waxing because it works well on coarser hair and small sections.
• Used for Facial waxing as it has shrink wrap hair ability so it is safe and gentle on delicate face skin and removes even the shortest hair.
