Hard waxes play an essential role in any salon setting. They are known to be versatile and effective on various different body parts, but their advantages do not end there. Professional hard body waxes are less painful on the skin and their texture is pleasant enough to soothe the area after ripping. Of course, there is no shortage of options, with many brands providing different wax presentations while catering to all tastes in a single line.
What stands out about Hard Body Waxes?
There are several unique features that set hard waxes apart. Unlike soft waxes, they don't require a strip for application. Instead, an esthetician applies the wax directly with one hand while holding the skin taut with the other. The thick texture of hard waxes makes it possible to spread a thin layer on the skin, but it takes skill to achieve the right technique. Hard waxes are applied in the same direction as hair growth and removed in the opposite direction, just like soft waxes. However, hard waxes don't stick to the skin. They only grip the hairs, which reduces pain when removing the wax. This means that hard waxes can be reapplied to the same area multiple times, making them ideal for delicate skin, such as on the face, inner thighs, and pubic bone. Many salons use hard waxes for popular treatments like facials, Brazilians, and Hollywood waxes. Hard waxes are more exclusive than soft waxes and require higher monthly costs to maintain a steady supply. As a result, they tend to be more expensive than strip waxes. Nevertheless, salons offer various packages to help clients customize their treatments based on their budgets and personal preferences.
Various Hard Wax Formats
The
ingredients in the formula determine the texture of the melted wax. This also
means that some waxes are better suited for specific treatments or skin types.
While professional hard waxes ensure a gentle treatment, gel hard waxes are
more effective at eliminating coarse, thick hair. When the focus is to increase
precision while removing fine hairs, estheticians go for waxes with a creamier
texture.
Now, let us take a closer look at different
types of hard waxes, from professional wax formulas to traditional waxes sold
at your local retail store.
- Professional hard wax beads: Many estheticians consider this the best way to experience hard wax. Professional hard waxes combine the most nourishing properties to suit
different skin types and pamper the senses. Salons also offer enough
variety to help clients find something that matches their preferences.
The most commonly used form of wax is in the shape of small beads, but professional hard wax can also be purchased in the form of bricks or disks. While the application process does not vary significantly between these different forms, the preparation method may differ slightly, especially when it comes to the time required for heating the wax.
- Traditional hard wax jars: The main advantage of these jars is that the wax can be melted in a microwave. They are a viable option when there is not enough money to upkeep a supply of professional waxes, and there are many options in the market to suit almost any budget. While they do not match the effectiveness of professional waxes, microwavable kits can still offer high-quality treatments and satisfying results, as long as you go for a reliable brand.
- Homemade hard wax: Did you know that the main ingredients of hard body waxes, beeswax, and rosin, are easily accessible? This means that you have the option to make your own hard wax from scratch. A general rule is to melt four parts of rosin with one part of beeswax and sometimes add natural oils or fruit extract into the mix. While homemade waxes are simple to prepare, they don't offer the same level of workability that professional waxes do. Since they are made up of only the basic ingredients, using homemade waxes may not necessarily reduce the pain experienced during waxing. This is because it can be challenging to determine the amount of time needed for the wax to dry on the skin before removing it.
