At Home Bikini Waxing

The bikini has remained popular for over sixty years. In fact it is not only growing in popularity, but shrinking is size. Brazilian waxes: with smaller bikinis it has become necessary to remove most, or all of the bikini area hair to keep an aesthetic look while wearing your bikini.



Some women still use the traditional method of shaving the bikini area. The new advanced electric shavers for women make shaving the intimate area much smoother than in the past.

What is a Brazilian Wax?

Brazilian waxing goes beyond the traditional waxing job and involves the removal of the hair from around the bikini area.

Slightly different techniques may be used by different beauty therapist. Some will use a strip of cloth, as in regular waxing, others will allow the hot wax to cool, which kind of "shrink wraps" the hairs, pulling them out by their roots. Tweezers are used to pull any stray hairs. A soothing lotion is then applied to the involved areas.
