If you are preparing for a Brazilian Wax, then you must have some idea what it is. However, if you don’t or would like more detailed information you might want to see What is a Brazilian Wax. There is also a video there that shows the procedure.
How to Prepare for a Brazilian Wax
So, the appointment has been booked and you have some jitters but it’s a job that has to be done – the first Brazilian wax to make your bikini line look stunning on the beach or at the pool. But are there any preparations you should be doing before you go for the popping of your wax cherry?
The best way forward is to learn from those who have been there before. Letting your hair grow (for around a month) is a good idea as it makes the length just great for waxing. The approximate ideal length is about a half inch or more (1.5 centimetres).
You can help to relax by having a glass of wine or two but don’t rock up the treatment center drunk. Just one to calm your nerves is sufficient. And when deciding what to wear at the salon, just be sure to ditch the jeans or tight clothes and get into something comfortable and easy to remove. At some salons an informal skirt may work fine that you can actually leave it on.
The Actual Brazilian Wax Deed
When you are in the chair or on the bed you will cast aside your underwear, open your legs in the butterfly position and keeping your feet together. The chit chat will probably start and this is likely to take the standard form of what one might expect at the hairdressers. The idle banter is a good way of helping you take your mind of the waxing process.
There is only one first Time Brazilian Wax!
The first time you get a Brazilian Wax, you can expect a little discomfort and mild pain as the root of your pubic hair is removed – the second time, and every time thereafter, is nowhere near as bad. Waxing will also include the removal of hair around the anus, to which you will need to assume a new position where you bring your knees to your chest and let the waxing expert do her stuff. Surprisingly, the pain levels are quite tolerant when this area of your body is being addressed.
There are a few other points to consider before the preparation of your wax: never arrive for a Brazilian Wax if you have an STD, infection, or in the unlikely event you are sunburnt down there. Also, for acne sufferers taking Accutane should not have a Brazilian Wax as the ointment makes the skin thinner and tearing may be caused by the waxing treatment.
