Hard & Soft wax are both efficient in removing body hair. Here is some information to help you understand the difference between methods.
Soft wax, also known as strip wax, is applied to the body in a thin layer and removed with a cloth strip. This is best suited for large areas like the legs and arms. Hard wax is thicker and does not require a strip for removal. It is removed directly once it has cooled down and become firm. Hard wax can be a better option for sensitive areas or areas where hair grows in multiple directions.
