Waxing is a semi-permanent form of hair removal which removes hair from the root.

Strip waxing is done by spreading wax thinly over the area, a cloth is then pressed on top of the wax and then ripped in the opposite direction of hair growth. 

Hard waxing is meant for more sensitive areas. It is applied the same way as strip waxing except is removed without the need of a cloth. Hard waxing can be done in the same area twice without the worry of it harming the skin.
