The Bikini and Brazilian wax are more popular than ever, not just with celebrities but with an increasing number of women worldwide. Here we will look at the advantages of waxing Brazilian and exactly what it entails.

While many women avoid pubic hair waxing, opting instead for a razor, many more are taking the plunge opting for a Bikini wax or the more extreme Brazilian wax.

Bikini waxing, removes the hair that is visible around the bikini area and the Brazilian waxing removes all of the hair from the genital region.

The Brazilian waxing is a trend that has grown in popularity for women and an ever increasing amount of men.

Bikini Waxing

It’s a great method of hair removal if you are a wax virgin, so let’s look at it.

Bikini waxing involves the application of warm wax to the area around the bikini line and allows women the freedom to wear skimpy swimwear and lingerie without embarrassment.

After the wax has been applied a strip of cloth is pressed on top the skin and then ripped off against the direction of the hair growth removing the hair and roots.

Brazilian Waxing

Waxing Brazilian style focuses on the genital area and involves the removal of hair from the areas around the vagina and also the perineum and anus.

The entire genital area is covered with talcum powder then wax applied and the hair removed the same way as in the Bikini wax.

The Brazilian waxing does not necessarily involve complete hair removal from the genital region and many choose to leave a ‘landing strip’, of hair above the vagina.

Any remaining stray hairs left are then removed with a pair of tweezers one by one.

Brazilian Waxing – The Procedure

Waxing Brazilian style involves you adopting various positions

Expect to have to contort your body, in to various positions i.e. holding your legs up in the air, to the side, over the therapist’s shoulder and any position necessary in order for the therapist to get all the hair removed.

For a Brazilian wax, the pubic hair needs be about a quarter inch in length and so it may be necessary for your therapist to trim it down to this length before the wax is applied.

After all the hair has been removed a lotion to soothe and cool the area is applied.
