Which type of wax is typically used for small, detailed areas?

The correct choice for the type of wax typically used for small, detailed areas is hard wax. Hard wax is formulated to adhere closely to the hair rather than the skin, allowing for a more precise application. This quality makes it ideal for delicate areas such as the eyebrows, upper lip, and other regions where intricate work is necessary. Hard wax is applied warm and, upon cooling, it hardens and can be easily removed without the need for strips, which facilitates better control during the waxing process.

Soft wax, on the other hand, is generally used for larger areas and requires a strip for removal, making it less suitable for small, detailed applications. Fiber wax and resin wax are specialized types of wax not typically singled out for detailed areas; they may serve specific purposes but do not offer the same level of precision and control as hard wax does for smaller sections of the skin.
