Bikini Vs. Brazilian: Waxing 101 And How To Prepare For It

Ah, you have finally decided to go through one of the right, but extremely dreaded journeys of your life. You must be wondering what to do, what wax should you get it with, Will it be awkward?

Well, you have come to the right place because girls help girls, very demure, very mindful. 

Let’s break it down and understand the difference between Bikini Wax vs. Brazilian Wax
One of the most common types of waxing services is the bikini wax if you wish to neaten the hair that may show from the bikini bottom.  It’s perfect for keeping things neat without going overboard.

Brazilian waxing, on the other hand, is for the gutsy and the daring. This one takes it all off—from the front to the back. Yep, it’s a clean slate down there. You can leave a little ‘landing strip’ if you like, but otherwise, it’s plain sailing all the way.

5 Steps on How to Best Prepare for Your First Bikini Wax (Without Losing Your Mind)

Let it grow: Hair must be at least a quarter of an inch in length, or as thick as a grain of rice. This just provides the wax an opportunity to adhere to something. 

Exfoliate: The skin of the area to be waxed should be gently exfoliated a day or two before the waxing. This assists in eliminating the buildup of the dead skin and it also prevents the occurrence of ingrown hair.

No lotions: When going for waxing avoid applying any lotion or oil to the area that is going to be waxed. It is recommended that waxing is done on clean and dry skin.

Pick the right wax: The care for the bikini area is crucial; therefore, not any waxing can do the job. One of the recommended brands to consider for sensitive area waxing is Rica’s Black Wax – mild but effective, which certainly makes the process less terrifying. 

Breathe: As already mentioned, Do’s and Don’ts are an integral part of the process, but when the moment of truth arrives, recall to breathe. It is also important to note exhaling while the strip is pulled can also make it less painful for the individual. Trust me, it works.

Waxing vs. Shaving: What’s the Verdict?

We all have been in the same situation where we decided to grab the razor because it’s convenient. However, everyone will agree that shaving has its flipsides. Ingrown hair, minor cuts that are usually red and hair just growing back in a jiffy.

Waxing on the other hand, appears to have the longer results because hair is pulled from the root level. This will also mean you can have smooth skin for weeks without having to spend so much time on shaving every day. And when it comes to waxing, preparing is winning half the battle. So take a deep breath, choose the right wax and prepare to be fabulous in your skin. You’ve got this!
