The Brazilian Wax
by Sacha
Tarkovsky
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 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, your waxer will start by trimming your pubic hair to the right
length.
2. The best waxers are quick, which cuts down on discomfort to the patient.
3. The waxer will dip a waxing stick into a pot of hot wax & then spread
it onto the area to be waxed.
The waxer 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 waxer 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 waxer will spread soothing lotion onto the
area.
That's it! You now have your Brazilian wax and your new look in around 30
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. |
