Once it hardens, hard wax is removed by hand , saving waste from not having to use wax strips (like with soft wax)
It's thicker than soft wax and works by adhering to the hair only (and not the top layer of skin)
Hard-waxing is typically less painful and more comfortable for most people than soft-waxing because it does not adhere to the skin
Hard wax is perfect for hair removal on sensitive areas such as the bikini line and underarms, plus large areas like the legs and body
Hard wax leaves no sticky residue
The heat from hard wax causes pores to open up, making it easier to remove hairs
