What allows hot wax to grip coarse hair better than warm wax?

The ability of hot wax to grip coarse hair better than warm wax primarily comes from its thicker consistency. Hot wax, when applied, tends to have a denser viscosity, which enables it to envelop coarse hair more effectively. This thicker layer allows for better adhesion to the hair shafts, especially those that are coarser and more resilient. The application of hot wax can also create a sort of "shrink-wrapping" effect around the hair, capturing it more securely when the wax cools and hardens slightly prior to removal.

This is particularly advantageous for hair removal as it enhances the grip on thicker and stubbier hair types, making the process more efficient and potentially reducing the likelihood of hair breakage during removal. In contrast, warm wax, while still effective, may have a lighter consistency that isn't as effective at gripping such coarse hair, potentially leading to a less efficient waxing experience.
