What is an advantage of hard wax over soft wax?

Hard wax is known for its ability to adhere to the hair rather than the skin, which allows it to be removed without the use of strips. This characteristic is a significant advantage because it can reduce discomfort during the waxing process, making it a popular choice, especially for sensitive areas of the body, such as the bikini line and underarms. Because hard wax can be applied at a thicker layer, it also allows for more precise removal of hair, which is beneficial for clients with delicate or sensitive skin.

In contrast, soft wax typically requires strips for removal, which can sometimes lead to irritation, especially on sensitive skin. Additionally, soft wax can be less effective in removing shorter or coarse hair compared to hard wax, further highlighting the advantages of hard wax in specific waxing scenarios.
