DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HARD WAX AND SOFT WAX?

 Hard wax is thicker than soft wax and works by hardening on your skin — hence, the name. 

  • Hard wax is less painful on the face than soft wax.
  • Hard wax leaves no sticky residue. It is much easier to clean up.
  • Hard wax grabs shorter hair, eliminating the need to wax on the same area twice.
  • Hard wax is significantly more costly for suppliers to purchase, making it less popular in regular salons.
  • When using hard wax, the hair follicles and pores open up from the heat, making it much easier to pull the hair out.
Soft wax is applied with a waxing spatula before being removed using a muslin strip. 

  • Soft wax adheres to skin more than hard wax, exfoliating skin more.
  • Soft wax grabs fine hairs perfectly, working better on large areas of the body than hard wax.
  • Unlike hard wax, soft wax cannot be applied to the same spot twice because it removes layers of dead skin.
  • Even if soft wax tends to be stickier than hard wax, there is no special preparation needed.
  • Less painful for most people, soft wax is perfect for extra sensitive areas such as the armpits or a Brazilian wax.
