What To Expect The First Time You Get Brazilian Wax?

Are you planning to get a Brazilian wax? It's a widely popular waxing style especially for wearing bikini. This procedure will leave you completely hairless; however there is some "landing strip" of hair in front.

The procedure of Brazilian wax is bit-painful, though many say that it's worth and gets better with every session. If you're a newbie, it's good to start with a basic waxing since they are less painful and allows taking a shower. So if you're ready to go with Brazilian waxing, here's what you can expect.

What Is a Brazilian Wax?

Got introduced to New York City in 1987 by Brazilian-born sisters and still remain popular in United States.  Brazilian wax is different from other waxes since hairs are removed in back, front, and everything in between. Many times "landing strip" is left in front, however some clients prefer "Hollywood Wax," where everything is removed.

Since most of waxing processes are done in a private room within the intervals of 15-30 minutes. Here you'll be asked to remove everything from the waist down and lie on a table covered with clean sheet or paper. Here you'll be given a paper thong and if not, ask for one.  It makes you feel comfortable, since your modesty will be tested. The waxing professional will be able to see everything, so you can choose the paper thong to forego. But getting a Brazilian is lesser embarrassing than visiting a gynecologist.

What should be the length of hair?

The general rule states that hair should be 1/4 inch in length coz, shorter hair are tough for the wax to grab. You might be sent back home if the hair isn't long enough. Again too long hairs are also not recommended since it makes the waxing process more painful. Just trim your pubic hair with an electric razor before waxing. Sometimes the waxer trim your public hair to correct length if found longer than required.
If your hair is much longer than required, your waxer may trim your pubic hair to the correct length.

What is the Brazilian Waxing Process?

The waxer must wear gloves before starting the wax procedure and should never dip the wooden waxing stick again into the wax. She must use fresh sticks for each application. The waxing process usually starts in front and moves backwards. You might be asked to help hold skin tight. Make sure to let the waxer know whether you require a landing strip or everything off. It’s important to know that same looks can be achieved with 2 processes: hard wax and soft wax, however majority of salons use soft wax method. 

How to Cut Down on the Pain?

Brazilian waxing is quiet painful, especially if you are doing this first time. Make sure the waxer remains gentle with you if you are susceptible to pain or if this is your first time. Some other tips to cut down the pain are as follows: 

1. Don't go for Brazilian Wax, if you are new to waxing. Instead go for a regular wax and after few sessions you'll find that waxing are less painful then proceed to Brazilian. 
2. Book the appointment at least a week after your periods. 
3. Get waxed regularly in every 3-4 weeks because the longer you wait, it will be much more painful.
4. Prefer a salon using "hard wax" as it’s less painful as commonly used soft wax.
5. Apply a topical anesthetic, such as Relax and Wax No-Scream Cream, 45 minutes before the procedure. 
6. Experts recommend take a couple ibuprofen or acetaminophen an hour before your wax.
