Which type of wax is removed with the hair growth?

Hard wax is the type of wax that is removed with the hair growth. This method involves applying the wax in a thicker layer and allowing it to cool and harden slightly before removal. As it cools, it grips the hair rather than the skin, which minimizes discomfort during the hair removal process. When the hard wax is pulled off, it is removed in the direction of hair growth, making it effective for coarse and delicate hair types.

In contrast, other types of waxes, such as soft wax and strip wax, are typically removed against the direction of hair growth. Soft wax adheres to both the hair and the skin, which can result in increased discomfort during the removal process. Gel wax is less commonly used for hair removal and may not involve the same application and removal techniques as hard wax. The specific characteristics of hard wax make it particularly suitable for various areas of the body, leading to its popularity in esthetic practices.
