It is applied directly to the skin with either a wooden stick or roller. Then, a piece of cloth is placed over it, and then pulled away and sucked away hair. Soft wax types are able to get to tiny hair strands you cannot discern, leaving silky skin. However, this type of body wax should only be used during a treatment session for a particular spot (never more than once) since it can start pulling out the skin cells and could cause bleeding and cause damage.

2. Hard Wax

The hard body Wax is usually applied to smaller, less sensitive areas like the upper lip, the underarms, and the bikini region. This kind of body wax will be applied with warmth directly on the skin. It takes time to cool before it is allowed to it will harden and then take off from the other side hair's growth. One advantage of hard wax is that they only adhere to hair, not the skin.
