The most important one: No one is judging.
How you groom down there is a purely personal decision. But if totally bare—or close to it—is what you’re after, there’s no denying that a bikini wax or Brazilian \ Hollywood wax is the fastest, least bump-inducing way to smooth things out below the waist.
Let’s get this straight: There’s no wrong choice when it comes to getting a bikini wax or not. From Barbie-doll hairless to full bush.
That said, it doesn’t matter how advanced you are in the Brazilian arts, we get that. Here, our favourite bikini-waxing specialists share what they wish they could tell you before you lie down on the table. (Hint: You have nothing to be embarrassed about. Unless you show up drunk. Don’t do that.)
1. No one is judging your vulva.
First things first: “Don’t be nervous about the way your vulva looks, “We see all sizes and colours on a daily basis. Our job is to make you look and feel better about it.” It’s a bikini wax, not an audition to be a pubic-hair model.
2. Don’t shave.
Seriously. “Prior to waxing, the length of your hair should be at least a quarter inch - 1.5cm,” Any less and the wax won’t have enough hair to grip during the removal process.
3. Seriously, there’s no such thing as being too hairy.
“A lot of clients get embarrassed about their growth if it’s been a while,”“I’d rather wax overgrown hair than a three-week-old shave. It’s easier for the specialist and less painful for you.”
4. Don’t come straight from Spin class.
Yes, it’s a kindness to your waxer that you arrive fresh and cleansed, but it will also help your wax go more smoothly. Natural oils, sweat, or body lotions can prohibit wax from adhering as well. “Come in tidy, like brushing your teeth before a dental exam,
5. You’ve got plenty of options.
You don’t have to go totally bare, as there are tons of bikini wax styles to chose from. You can get just the sides and the top cleaned up (a bikini wax, you can get everything but a small landing strip of hair or a triangle in front (a Brazilian wax), or you can get everything—top, sides, and back—removed (a Hollywood). If you’re not sure which you want to start with, don’t be afraid to ask your technician. It’s only awkward for them if you don’t like the end result.
6. Don’t work out after your wax either.
One of the core pillars of post wax care? Take the whole day off from the gym. “The friction in tight yoga pants can cause irritation,” Additionally, “you should avoid any physical activity 12 to 24 hours after your wax,” “The less heat you bring to the area, the better.” Steering clear of another—more private—athletic endeavour can be beneficial as well.
7. Sorry, no hookups.
This one is a pretty standard rule most waxers will warn you about, but it’s easy to forget. Any kind of action down there—sex in particular—can lead to discomfort. “It can cause excessive chafing from friction on extra-delicate skin,”. Consider turning the first two days into official cuddle time.
8. Stay out of the sun.
The first 48 hours after waxing, your already delicate skin down there is even more vulnerable. So while you may be dying to throw on your bikini the second you leave the salon, keep in mind that sensitive skin is more susceptible to UV rays. “This can lead to permanent sun damage and hyperpigmentation,”
9. Resist the urge to do recon work after your wax job.
“If ingrown hairs appear after you have a wax, don’t pluck them,” Let us handle it.” If you pick at your in grows with your nails, you risk scarring and infection. “We have tons of bacteria underneath our nail beds,” If you can’t make it back into your waxer’s. To safely address the issue, as can gentle exfoliation with an exfoliation body brush the area three days after your wax.
10.For a pain-free hair removal solution
There can be several reasons for a painful waxing experience such as a therapist who has not been properly trained, using the incorrect type of wax on an area or not prepping the skin. The way the wax is applied is a key factor in how much pain a person will experience. Also it is very important to remove the wax correctly.
