Hard Wax Versis Soft Wax
all of different brands of waxes are in two main categories: hard wax and soft wax. Soft wax is what you usually think of body waxing. This wax is best suited for larger areas such as arms, legs, and armpit.
Hard wax is a little different. It is thicker and applied warm. Once the wax hardens, it is removed without the use of a strip. When waxing the face, hard wax is generally used. Additionally, it is our professional opinion that, when it comes to sensitive skin such as the bikini area, hard wax is also the best option. It attaches itself only to the hair, not the skin, reducing discomfort and minimizing the possibility of irritation.
Nevertheless, soft wax is ideal for Brazilian waxing. Because unlike traditional bikini waxing, where a small strip of hair is left on top, with Brazilian waxing, everything is taken off from the labia to the rear. This area in particular is extra sensitive for one reason: the hair is extra coarse because it grows in different directions, making soft wax more effective and less painful for patients.
