Hard wax is amongst the best wax for hair removal at home as you are strip-free. This means you don’t have to cover the waxed area with a cloth strip. The hardened wax acts like a strip itself. Most people prefer using this type for Brazilian wax as hard wax helps remove coarse pubic hair efficiently. Hard wax is great for more sensitive areas of the skin like the upper lip, eyebrows, nose, bikini area, etc. The hard wax coats only the hair and not the skin so pain and discomfort is greatly reduced. 

Wax beads or pods are exactly what they sound like: little beads of hard wax that, when heated, are used to remove unwanted hairs. Unlike soft wax, which requires using a cloth or muslin strip to remove the hair, wax beads harden on the skin as they dry, eliminating the need for strips. Wax beads and pods provide convenience of use, you might heat and use only the quantity that is needed for waxing small parts.
