5 Hard Wax Myths You Need to Know
I've been a hard wax enthusiast for 20 years, and it's time to dispel some myths.
-
Hard wax is more painful than strip wax. FALSE! Hard wax is gentler as it shrink-wraps around the hair and doesn’t stick to the skin, reducing irritation.
-
Hard wax takes too long to set up. FALSE! If at the correct temperature and consistency, hard wax sets in 10 seconds or less.
-
It takes more time to do a Brazilian with hard wax. FALSE! While there’s a learning curve, once mastered, a full Brazilian takes 15-30 minutes with hard wax.
-
Hard wax cracks and breaks. TRUE + FALSE. This happens mostly due to improper technique or conditions. Applying it correctly reduces the chances of breaking.
-
Hard wax is too difficult and painful to remove. FALSE! This myth stems from improper removal techniques. Ending your application on a hair-free section makes it easier and less painful to remove.
Hard wax, when used correctly, offers a superior waxing experience.
