Soft Wax vs. Hard Wax - Which is Best for Brazilian?

Soft Wax vs. Hard Wax - Which is Best for Brazilian?

Brazilian wax is one of the most sought-after waxing services. It remains a fact that first-timers feel daunted by the idea of going through a Brazilian wax because they have no idea what to expect. After all, Brazilian wax treats the most vulnerable parts of the body, namely the pubic area. Still, it is also true that customers are delighted by the results after, and the initial discomfort is usually worth it by the feeling that comes afterward. 

Professional Waxes are what make Brazilian waxes practical for the esthetician and so pleasant for clients after their first session. These waxes help keep the skin safe from injuries and ensure a smooth process with even smoother results. Now, in any wax treatment, you can choose between Soft body waxes and Hard body waxes, and each option brings something to the table. Which is better for a Brazilian wax?

All You Need To Know About Hard Wax and Soft Wax

When we think of waxing, soft waxes are likely what comes to mind. They have a texture similar to honey and are perfect for larger areas of skin such as the back, arms, and legs. They are also great for areas with thick hair, helping to save time. Estheticians use a spatula to apply the soft wax, then press a waxing strip onto the cooling wax. With one quick pull against the direction of hair growth, all the hairs are removed. While this can be uncomfortable at first, clients typically find it manageable after a few tries. Hard waxes follow a similar process but with a few differences. Estheticians do not use a waxing strip to remove the wax, and the wax has a slightly thicker consistency after melting. This allows for a firmer grip and makes it ideal for sensitive areas such as the face, pubic area, happy trail, and bikini line - especially for Brazilian wax.

What Makes Hard Waxes Popular for Intimate Waxing?

Along with the face, the bikini area is one of the parts of the body that respond perfectly to hard waxes. For this reason, hard body wax has been deemed the best choice when it comes to Brazilian waxes, even when soft waxes have branched out to better suit sensitive skin.


Here are the main advantages of using hard waxes for a Brazilian:

  • Hard waxes can be removed without using a waxing strip, so it's easier to remain precise when there's little room to move around. This also helps estheticians stay accurate while treating harder-to-reach areas if they're working with a full bikini wax.

  • They have a low melting point, so they don't need to be too hot when coming in contact with the skin.

  • They adhere to the hairs and not the skin, creating less pain for the client when it's time to remove the wax layer.

  • This also means that the wax can be used on the same area more than once without breaking the skin.

  • Hard waxes have a creamy texture that's pleasant to the senses and they leave no sticky residues behind.

This doesn't mean that soft waxes are out of the question. Soft waxes remain helpful in removing coarse, stubby hairs and, as we said earlier, there are soft waxes with a low melting point that can be applied on sensitive skins. If the label specifies that a professional body wax can be used in the pubic/bikini area, you can always offer this option to your clients, and this is always welcome for those who are familiar with the price range of hard body waxes.

Of course, you should always test the brand and make sure the skin responds properly. It's always less stressful to secure a wax distributor that you're familiar with. In the same vein, it's safer to try new products from a brand that has delivered positive results in the past.
