Can the wax be pulled off without a strip?

No it can not, I believe that hard wax can though.

what's the difference between hard wax and soft wax

hi:3 ex-cosmo here! soft wax is what this is, its hot wax. hard wax dries to a resin like finish and doesnt require strips, and azulene wax is film "hard" wax that looks a lot like fruit roll up, its very popular bc it also doesnt require strips, but it is not my preference as soft wax gets everything and wont tear bc you use soft muslin or cotton strips. no wax is created equal, and someone saying that "soft wax" will tear your skin off, is a common misconception and issue for a lot of people who arent properly experienced enough in the world of waxing. that was my job and i spent 3 years as an apprentice waxer which i now am very thankful for, bc it saves me a lot of money! a lot of women who lived through the 80's and 90's will try to urge you differently bc they are stuck in their ways with being the "hard wax gen." but professionally speaking, depending on the quality, what oils are in the formula, and most importantly, the temperature used to apply the wax all matter greatly, and differ immensely in your experience with it. lower quality soft "hot" waxes can sometimes pull a bit of skin with the strip bc they are not mixed with the proper oils or applied at the proper temperature. you dont just heat it up, and apply it! you have to know what the "golden" temperature is, like honey so to speak, never thin and drippy or you will burn your skin and then you will pull it off. this gigi honee formula does not, as long as you do not apply it too hot. the oils mixed with the wax are what give you that protective barrier between your skin, and the wax. hard wax is a lot more painful in my personal experience with myself, and others no matter how you handle it usually. and i do NOT suggest it in the bikini, underarm, or any other sensitive areas! that is what soft wax is for. everyone has their preference depending on their age, and what they grew up using. women from before the 90's are really big on hard wax. whereas i was instructed on how to use hot wax, and azulene wax in the early and mid 2000's due to its popularity. ive personally with my super sensitive skin, have never been able to stomach using hard wax, i have horror stories and scars!, and if your skin is too sensitive, sometimes you arent able to pull it off of yourself so that could be a big predicament, if thats the case for your specific body. hard wax is mostly used for face now, and on my clinic floor it was restricted from ever being used anywhere else just bc of this issue. with hot wax your skin will be perfectly fine as long as you do not apply it too hot to where it damages your skin and sinks too far down into your pours, i would suggest consulting a professional before using it yourself, and maybe getting it done one or two times by a professional just to watch how a trained tech does it first. and just so you have the proper safety precautions and knowledge in mind. also, we're not doctors. we dont take some oath at boards to keep information proprietary, and its not some big secret to explain to you over the phone how to keep from burning yourself! as long as their not greedyXD enjoy<3
