Brazilian waxing so named after the Brazilian women who needed a ‘barely-there’ bikini was in order to sport their much loved ‘itsy-bitsy’ thongs on the beach. This wax traditionally leaves a small rectangle of hair or 'landing strip' behind, thought the latest trends is for a neat triangle instead. The Brazilian usually includes the waxing of the sensitive labia, the buttocks, which is why is can feel a little more painful than a traditional bikini wax; people claim the pain isn’t much different. It is of course, especially popular before holidays, as it gives the impression of nothing there, even in the smallest of bikini bottoms.
Simple tips to prepare for a Brazilian Waxing
Grow hair out or trim to 3/4” (length of your eyelashes)
If you are a shaver it may take up to two weeks to be the right length for waxing
It is important that hair is long enough especially if this is the first time waxing
Avoid exfoliating for at least 24 hours before waxing appointment
Do not consume Alcohol before waxing (no it will not helpJ)
Caffeine and premenstrual will make you more sensitive
The waxing pain is very temporary, and by the time it is done, you should not feel any discomfort at all.
After Brazilian Waxing you want to give your skin a chance to breath and be comfortable.
Wear loose fitting clothing. Natural cloth is best, like cotton.
You will want to avoid any physical activity that will cause you to perspire after waxing as it takes 24 hours for the pours to close down completely.
How often between services will depend on your hair growth, anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks.
