What type of wax is commonly used for body waxing?

Hard wax is commonly used for body waxing due to its ability to remove hair effectively and provide a less painful experience. Unlike soft wax, which requires a strip to remove the hair, hard wax hardens upon application and can be removed directly without the need for a strip. This makes it particularly beneficial for sensitive areas of the body, such as the bikini line or underarms, as it adheres to the hair rather than the skin, minimizing irritation.

In addition, hard wax is versatile; it can be used on various skin types and is suitable for coarse hair. Technicians often prefer it for its effectiveness in capturing shorter hairs while reducing the likelihood of breakage. This combination of factors makes hard wax a popular choice in salons for body waxing services.
