The Brazilian Wax –
All you need to know
The Brazilian wax is now more popular than ever with women and this
article is about the history, how to have one done and what to expect
from the treatment
Having a Brazilian wax is not difficult and most women who have it are
delighted with the results as are their partners!
So how does it differ from a bikini wax?
Quite simply, with the Brazilian wax hair is removed from the front,
back & everything in between.
Most of the time a small 'landing strip' is left at the front, but many
women go for everything removed.
Before having a Brazilian bikini wax, consider trying a standard bikini
wax which will remove the hair from your bikini line or the full bikini
which will remove most of your pubic hair but will not go near the most
sensitive areas.
Keep in mind a Brazilian bikini wax removes most or all of the pubic
hair, so if you are unsure if you really want one opt for this method
first
History
Brazilian bikini waxes have been very popular since the 90's. Brazilian
waxing was introduced to New York in 1987 by a group of Brazilian-born
sisters, who gave it its name.
These Brazilian women were not however the first that removed their
pubic hair.
Women have been removing their pubic hair for thousands of years and the
trend started in ancient Egypt!
Women in the Middle East have also used Brazilian waxing since ancient
times and look usually was achieved just before their wedding for the
purpose of displaying purity.
If you are having a Brazilian wax done then its best to get it done
professionally and if you are unsure of having one done try a bikini
wax first.
A professional Brazilian wax is relatively cheap, the process takes
around 30-45 minutes and then you have your new look.
Here's How:
1. Because you only need about a quarter-inch of hair for the wax to
grab onto.
2. The best aestheticians are quick, which cuts down on discomfort to
the patient.
3. The aesthetician will dip a waxing stick into a pot of hot wax &
then spread it onto the area to be waxed.
The aesthetician will then apply a cloth strip over the warm wax,
pressing firmly so the cloth, hair and wax stick together. When the wax
has cooled down, the aesthetician will pull the strip off, in the
opposite direction of your hair growth and remove the hair by the roots.
4. Waxing usually starts at the front and moves towards the back.
5. Once the waxing is over, the aesthetician will spread soothing lotion
onto the area.
That's it! You now have your Brazilian wax and your new look in around
30 -45 minutes
Brazilian Waxing and pain
The procedure of the Brazilian wax (like any waxing) can be painful at
first, but a frequent visit usually cuts down the pain factor as your
body adjusts.
As for the embarrassment that some women feel, it is actually know
different to a typical visit to your gynecologist's and remember, they
have seen it all before its their job.
The downside of a Brazilian wax is that you can't do it just once!
While waxing lasts up to 3 or 4 weeks, the hair will eventually grow
back and you will then need another treatment.
Other downsides to Brazilian bikini waxes are:
Hair has to be a certain length before it can waxed properly and you
might experience red bumps or ingrown hairs after the treatment.
The above downsides are fairly minor and most women once they have tried
the procedure continue with waxing.
The Brazilian Bikini wax is here to stay and is not as difficult,
expensive or as hard to do as many women think. Keep in mind getting a
Brazilian wax is not expensive and it's a good idea to have it
professionally done.
