Hair Removal: Brazilian Bikini Wax

Hair Removal: Brazilian Bikini Wax The Brazilian Bikini Wax has a well-earned reputation for being jarring and intensely painful for the first-time experimenter. Just the name, Brazilian Bikini Wax, is evocative of pain and oddly animalistic nature in any hair removing social circle. But just what is a Brazilian Bikini Wax? A Brazilian Bikini Wax is the process by which women remove all (READ: All) hair from the Bikini area of the body - other wise known as the area that standard underwear covers. Here's how Brazilian Bikini Waxing works: The practitioner will invite you into the procedure room and have you lay on a table, just like in any doctors' or gynecologists' office. Make sure that the table has a paper drape on it to provide cleanliness for you from other patients. Your practitioner will ask you to remove your clothes from the waist down. Remove ALL of your clothes, including your underwear. He or she will then ask you to lay on the table with your knees to your chest. Using a hot wax, she will remove all of the hair from the backside of your bikini area. (Never thought you had hair there? Don't worry - everyone does.) Once your practitioner has successfully removed all of the hair from the backside of your bikini area, he or she will then continue with the Brazilian Bikini Wax in the front. First, he or she will trim your pubic hair until it is about one quarter of an inch long. The wax needs only about one quarter of an inch of hair to cling to during the removal process. Using the same hot wax he or she applied to your backside, your practitioner will apply the hot wax to the front region of your bikini area. Using a gauze or cotton strip, he or she will then rip the hair out of the skin by the root until all hair is removed. Most Brazilian Bikini Wax technicians will then remove any stray strands of hair with tweezers. It can feel odd to have a stranger plucking at your private region with tweezers, but remember, this is business. The entire procedure will take only about 15 minutes. Once it's over, you may still feel pain for up to an hour, as the sensitive region has just been yanked and pulled. As with any sort of waxing, the top layer of skin has also been removed, so you will feel an added tingle combined with a feeling of softness to the touch. Follow the procedure with baby powder or mineral oil to help soothe the skin. Brazilian Bikini Waxes are popular because of the thorough job, but notorious for the pain and short-term discomfort. After the Brazilian Bikini Wax, you can expect to be smooth and clean for about one to two weeks before the area starts to grow back with a five o'clock shadow. It's important that between visits to the Brazilian Bikini Wax specialist, you do not mess with the hair in the area. Instead, let the hair grow out to about a quarter of an inch so that the process can be done again. As always with any hair removal procedure: good luck and keep at it!
