The most popular way to remove body hair is by waxing. It’s fast, convenient, and the results last longer than shaving since the hair is pulled out from the root.
You may wonder what type of wax to use if you want to wax at home. Hard wax and soft wax are both available.
Hard wax is better for smaller, more delicate areas, such as your bikini line, although both do a good job of removing hair from follicles. For larger areas like your legs, soft wax is a better option.
Unlike traditional razors, when you use soft wax, you can shave without causing razor burns or cuts. You can also shave multiple times throughout the day without having to worry about getting nicks and cuts.
When using soft wax, you can remove unwanted hair without leaving any sticky residue behind. Instead, the remaining stubble looks clean and smooth.
Because soft wax is meant for beginners, it does not require you to apply it prior to shaving. As long as you follow the directions included with the product, you’ll see results.
There are a few downsides associated with using soft wax. First, it takes time to produce results. Because soft wax is made with natural oils, it won’t immediately start working. However, once you’ve started seeing results, you’ll notice that your beard will become softer than ever.
Another downside is that the product is messy. When used, soft wax can leave a greasy film on your face which makes you look unkempt.
The pros are that it is very easy to apply, lasts for a long time without chipping or cracking. It’s also available in many colors which makes it easier to find the right color match than with nail polish.
The downside is that it can get messy, especially if you have small children around. I don’t know how much more messy it would be if you let them use their fingers as well.
Another thing about hard wax is that it takes longer to dry so there is always the risk of smudging and running when you try to remove it. You can get rid of this by using a good quality base coat but then you might not want to use it anymore because it will take too much effort to remove.
