What To Know About Brazilian Wax Hair Removal
Brazilian wax hair removal is a very popular method of removing hair from the bikini area. More effective and longer lasting than shaving, less irritating to the pubic area than a depilatory and less expensive than laser, a Brazilian hair wax is the most thorough and quickest way to be hair free.
Brazilian wax hair removal is a particularly good method for people who only want the bare look every now and then, such as before a vacation or during swimsuit season. The results are immediate and will last for several weeks.
Though there are Brazilian hair wax products you can use at home, most people will want to get a Brazilian wax hair removal in a licensed salon. An esthetician will be better able to reach some of the more private areas, and will probably have an easier time applying the pressure needed to thoroughly remove the hair.
Some may find the idea of getting a Brazilian hair wax embarrassing, as you will have to expose everything to the esthetician. However, you can rest assured that as Brazilian wax hair removal has become increasingly popular, the esthetician has performed plenty of the treatments and seen plenty of bikini areas.
You will likely find that there is at least some pain associated with a Brazilian hair wax, but those who get them regularly feel that the momentary discomfort is worth the fast and long lasting results. Subsequent waxes should feel less painful as the hair growth will be thinner. Talk to your esthetician about your fears so that she can try to make your Brazilian wax hair removal as comfortable as possible. If you have never had a waxing procedure done before, you may want to start with a less sensitive region of the body than the genitals. Women may want to get a part of their face, such as the upper lip or chin, or their legs waxed first to get comfortable with the waxing procedure. A male considering having hair removed from the pubic area would probably be wise to start with a chest or back waxing first. You will want to get acquainted with the discomfort from the application of the wax and the esthetician pulling off the hair from the roots. In addition, it may take a day or two to see how your skin reacts to the waxing, such as whether you will experience any redness or irritation.
You may then want to try having your bikini line waxed before trying a full Brazilian. You can even have the hair waxed into a fun pattern, which you can color if you choose. Then you can move up to a full Brazilian hair wax when you’re ready. When getting a full Brazilian, the esthetician can remove hair from between the buttocks for an even cleaner look.
Most estheticians will guide their clients toward creams and lotions to help prevent irritation and soothe any burns that may occur. You will likely be given tips on how to properly exfoliate the pubic area to prevent ingrown hairs, which could lead to unsightly and painful bumps. It is important to follow any care instructions you are given completely to prevent infections such as folliculitis. In the unlikely event that you develop an infection following your Brazilian wax hair removal procedure, you will need to consult a health care professional, who can prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection.
