Hard Wax is Less Painful

One of the best benefits of using hard wax is how gently it applies and removes, especially compared to other methods like soft wax. 

When hard wax is applied, it takes only a few seconds to set and hardens to the hair. Soft wax, on the other hand, remains sticky and also adheres to the skin rather than just the hair. As a result, when it’s time for removal hard wax is gentler and causes much less friction. 

Waxing using hard wax is a great option if you are sensitive to pain, especially in areas where sensitivity is already heightened like the bikini area.

Hard Wax is Sensitive Skin-Friendly

As mentioned, hard wax is a great option for those with sensitive skin since it hardens to adhere to the hair rather than the skin. 

Waxing can be really damaging to the skin! The skin is exposed to unnatural temperatures, pulling, maneuvering, and more when waxing.  It’s important to find a hard wax that contains premium ingredients to take the extra step in protecting your skin. 

Ourhard wax is made of clean vegan ingredients and contains mineral oil, which hydrates the skin throughout the whole process. The special polymer blend also makes our hard wax very flexible, meaning it can be used in any area on any type of skin. 

Lastly, our hard wax comes in lightly scented or non-scented forms for those with scent sensitivities. So, not only is it safe for sensitive skin but it’s also safe for sensitive noses!

Hard Wax Reducing Ingrown Hairs

Another great benefit of waxing using hard wax is the reduction of ingrown hairs. Waxing pulls hair from the root, rather than just cutting it down like in other hair removal methods like shaving.

Since hair is removed cleanly from the root, there is a less likely chance that it grows back irregularly, which is one of the causes of ingrown hairs. 

Waxing using hard wax also reduces inflammation and irritation, which can also contribute to ingrown hairs, since it is applied with the direction of hair growth and only sticks to the hair. 

Lastly, another hard wax benefit is the fact that hard wax is a natural exfoliator. It adheres to dead skin cells during the service and removes them, leaving less chance for oil and dirt buildup that contributes to ingrown hairs. 

More polished skin in general is a great benefit of using hard wax. You can say goodbye to the chances of developing pesky razor bumps and burns too!

Hard Wax is Good For Beginners

Hard wax is good for beginners for a lot of reasons, it can be used anywhere on the body, it requires fewer supplies, and it is easy to cleanup. 

The major reason why hard wax is so good for beginners, however, is that multiple passes can be made over the same area. When learning to wax it’s pretty easy to miss spots or apply pressure incorrectly, which results in leftover hair.

Soft wax can’t be applied in the same area twice but hard wax can! We recommend checking out our eyebrow and face waxing kit. It has everything you need to get into the world of hard waxing!

Hard Wax Slows Down Hair Regrowth

As previously covered, hard wax removes hair from the root when it is removed. Because of that, a great benefit of hard wax is a slower regrowth time.

Hair taken from the root needs to fully regenerate from the follicle itself since the wax removes the root of the hair too! Once a routine is established, the normal time for hair regrowth with hard waxing is around 3-6 weeks.

On the contrary, if you stick with shaving where hair is simply cut down mid-shaft, it is likely you’ll see hair regrowth within 2-3 days. 

Many people also experience finer and thinner hair when it regrows after consistent use of hard waxing.

Final Thoughts

The benefits of using hard wax are endless! Since hard wax adheres to the hair and not the skin, it makes hard wax a more painless hair removal method. 

Hard wax is safe for use on sensitive skin and safe for all-over body use. Waxing using hard wax also benefits users who want to reduce the chances of ingrown hairs and see hair grow back slower and finer.

All in all, using hard wax is a great choice for beginning waxers!
