At Nailsalon Malvern in Collegeville, clients regularly look for waxing services because of the smoothness that it provides for an extended period. For waxing, there is one important thing that can influence the entire process and result: the type of hair. Hair can either be coarse or fine. Knowing how these types of hairs differ regarding waxing will help to provide the most adequate care to clients and make the process comfortable for them. In this article, the focus will be on the differences between fine hair and coarse hair, the waxing procedure for each, and how Nailsalon Malvern specializes in waxing services depending on hair type to make sure the clients are comfortable and have a ‘done’ feeling after the process.

Fine vs Coarse Hair: What You Should Know



With fines hair being so delicate, the waxing process begins with preparing specially made strips by cutting them into incredibly small pieces. On the other hand, coarse hair has the benefit of being strong and durable, and sawing the coarse strips along the grain won’t damage them.


Thin Hair

Fine hair is defined by its low volume and lack of resistance, the descriptors gauge the level of strength or weight of any given hair strand. It is very soft and silky compared to coarse hair, as it is often lighter hair. Few are privileged to have grains that are uniquely long, fine yet coarser in nature; which gives it valor or adds strength in count. Some are unfortunate to have more thin hair but get rewarded by the fact that it grows back much faster after waxing compared to coarse hair.


Thick Hair

On the other end lies thick hair; it is coarse in nature, dominantly being preferred and sought by many if not exception. In comparison to coarse hair, coarse hair. Dimensional changes along appendage does not limit coarse hair in regards to strength, it may be fragile to first impression like silk yet as strong as a rag in reality. Inter man follicles are increased along the string. It becomes much more apparent than medium body hair. It's usually stronger, darker, and requires additional care and techniques while waxing.


Following comprehension on coarse hair and fine hair, we can easily gauge or form a conclusion that both forms of hair come with their pros and cons. Let's make a study of how these two hair textures sheer their differences while waxing.

How Hair Type Affects the Waxing Process


The trained staff at Nailsalon Malvern Collegeville practices an advanced form of scale waxing which categorizes hair types features into fine and coarse. Here’s how the waxing process divides into finer and coarser approaches to ensure the best results are achieved. 


1. Wax Adherence


In order for hair to be removed, the wax needs to adhere appropriately to the hair follicle. Waxing fine hair can be difficult due to the hair's structure. Fine hair is more difficult to remove as it does not grip as well as coarse hair. As a result, the technician may need to apply stronger or different wax types that are able to create a greater bond with the hair. 


On the other hand, coarse hair has a much thicker shaft which means that the surface area is greater for the bond. This is why people living with coarse hair often find waxing more effective, the stubborn hair is better suited to the bonds wax has to offer and the hair often works on multiple regions of the body.


2. Pain Level


The discomfort during the waxing procedure largely depends on the client’s hair type. During waxing, fragile fine hair is prone to irritation owing to its greater sensitivity. If the client's hair is fine, the wax may not stick well and require multiple applications, which undoubtedly causes more discomfort to the client than what is necessary to endure. Due to being closer to the skin surface, fine hair follicles have a tendency to be more active and thus, may be sharper and more intense. 


In contrast, coarse hair, which is more deeply rooted, can induce a waxing sensation that feels more like a tug rather than a sharp discomforting pain. Unlike fine hair, coarse hair waxes more comfortable but more intense pain because of coarse root attachment, so the wax does not need extensive pressure to pull it off.


At Nailsalon Malvern, Collegeville, professional-grade waxes are used that aims to achieve pain-free comfort during the waxing procedures. Finer hair wax can be with low temperature sesitive blended, while foe coarse hair stronger, thicker wax is more beneficial during the procedure.


3. Elapsed Time of the Waxing Session


Selecting the area to wax is of utmost importance. It may take longer to wax somebody's hair as compared to coarse and rough hair. Fine hair will take its time due to its delicate nature, and finer strands may not properly stick to the wax. As a result, it is tough to remove every strand of hair in a single pass of waxing. Moreover, it will require more of your time so that every nook and cranny is taken care of, particularly in the areas with butter more populated with hair.


As for grit hair, the wax process is efficient. The thick structure of coarse hair allows for the wax to penetrate more effectively to the shaft of the hair making the removal easy, which is why during the waxing sessions the hair can be pulled in bulk patches which cuts down on the overall session time.


4. Fine Hair Regrowth


Clients normally have smooth skin for a few weeks after treatment. When the hair does return, the rate varies depending on the hair type. Fine hair grows back the fastest as there are weaker follicles, and when the thick hair is pulled, it does not require much effort. Initial removing would most likely be effective but fine hairs will return in two to three weeks.


On the contrary, coarse hair has a slower growth rate. This is caused because the hair follicles are much larger and therefore more robust, leading to a longer regrowth cycle. People with coarse hair may enjoy longer intervals of smoothness in between waxing sessions.


5. Waxing Finer and Coarser Hair Areas


The body locations containing hair can determine how waxing can differ. Finer hair is commonly found in the arms, legs, and face, whereas coarse patches are more common on the bikini area, under arms, and the back.


Waxing is usually easier for fine hair on larger body parts like the legs or arms because it is usually less. After several wax, the hair is likely to grow back fluffier and softer. Some however, apply wax gently on the face which requires extra care and should not irritate the skin. After waxing, the hair that regrows tends to be a lot finer.


Unique waxing methods are required for hair removal in sensitive zones such as the bikini line or the underarms - especially for those with coarse hair types. 'Thick' and 'Coarse' hair has to be dealt with differently because of the irritation that may occur during waxing sensitive zones. Removal of coarse and thick hair should be done in smaller sections to avoid irritation. Waxing with precision is offered at Nailsalon Malvern, so you don’t have to worry about gentle waxing being ineffective.


6. Caring for skin after waxing coarse and fine hair


Caring after waxing is equally vital as waxing, especially in avoiding skin irritation and keeping it healthy. For clients dealing with fine hair, they must be extra cautious as skin is fragile. It is best to avoid sharp or sudden movements so as to not disrupt the already tender skin and hair. To counter irritation I would suggest grooming products such as soothing oils or lotions to reduce redness.


For thick hair, it can be easier to remove, and so the skin does not tend to react too much, thus making it similar to after care of fine hair, but covering less vulnerable areas of the skin. With aftercare, thick, densely rooted hair tends to not irritate the skin as much.


At Nailsalon Malvern, clients are given professional aftercare advice depending on the type of hair and region of the body waxed. These instructions facilitate clients' healing processes while increasing the interval of waxing sessions.

Fine and Coarse Waxing Hair Waxing Products

Soft wax or low temperature wax is often used for fine hair since it adheres to delicate hair strands without causing any irritation. These waxes are wonderful for sensitive skin as well, providing great care during the delicate process of hair removal.


Hard wax is preferred for coarse hair. This wax type is thicker than others, thus makes it better for coarse hair follicles. It is also better for tender regions as it removes hair without making much skin to wax contact.
