A one pound refill of hard wax beads formulated for coarse body hair, meant for use in a standard wax warmer. Hard wax is the type that hardens on the skin and gets pulled off directly, without a cloth strip, which is what makes it workable on bikini, underarm, and other short-hair areas at home. It grips the hair rather than the skin, so it hurts less than strip wax on sensitive areas. A pound covers roughly forty bikini-sized applications depending on how thick you apply it. You need a warmer and applicator sticks separately if you do not already have them. Best fit: anyone already waxing at home, or pricing out the switch from salon appointments.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a wax warmer?
Yes. This is a refill bag of beads, so you need a warmer to melt them and applicator sticks to apply. If you are starting from scratch, buy a kit instead.
What is the difference between hard wax and strip wax?
Hard wax hardens on the skin and is pulled off directly with no cloth strip. It grips hair more than skin, which is why it is preferred for bikini and underarm areas.
How long does the hair need to be?
Roughly a quarter inch is the usual minimum for the wax to grip. Shorter than that and it will not lift the hair.
Is this formula right for facial hair?
This one is the coarse body hair formula. Fine facial hair is better served by a formula made for it, since a coarse-hair wax can be aggressive on the face.
