Which type of wax does not require a strip for removal?

Hard wax is known for its unique properties that allow it to be removed without the use of a strip. This type of wax is designed to be applied thickly and adheres to the hair rather than the skin, which reduces the pain commonly associated with hair removal. Once the wax has cooled and hardened, it can be pulled off directly, along with the hair, providing an effective and often less irritating method for waxing sensitive areas.

In contrast, soft wax requires a strip for removal. It is applied in a thin layer and adheres to both the hair and the skin, necessitating a cloth or paper strip to pull it off. Gel wax behaves more like soft wax, also requiring a strip for removal. Cold wax typically comes pre-applied on strips which you simply press onto the skin and pull away, therefore also requiring a strip for effective hair removal.
