Depilatory wax beans are small, hardened beads of wax used for hair removal that must be melted in a wax warmer before application to the skin. They are a type of hard wax, meaning they can grip and pull hair directly from the root without the need for strips, offering a more pain-free experience with slower regrowth. Available in various formulas and scents, the wax is applied as a thin layer, allowed to set, and then removed quickly in the opposite direction of hair growth.
