Bikini Waxing Styles
Going to the beach or trying on lingerie can be an embarrassing experience for women who have unwanted hair in their bikini region. One quick and easy method for hair removal is waxing.
Waxing - like electrolysis, laser hair removal, threading, and tweezing - is a method of epilation; that means through waxing you get rid of hair below the first layer of skin. This causes the hair to grow back smoother and finer, rather than coarser and thicker, the way depilation does.
Another benefit to waxing is that it lasts much longer than chemical depilatories or shaving. When it's done properly, waxing can get rid of hair for three to eight weeks. And if you're dealing with a sensitive area like the bikini line, you don't want to choose a method of hair removal that requires you to use it more than once a month.
In this sense, waxing is much safer than methods of depilation, since it gives you less of a chance to damage your skin. This is especially true since bikini waxing mandates that you go to a professional aesthetician, rather than relying on your own expertise (or lack of such).
Bikini waxing comes in two styles: the basic bikini wax and the Brazilian wax. When you're making your appointment at your local salon, make sure to specify which one you want, or you may be in for a surprise.
The basic bikini wax removes hair from the sides of the pubic region; that is, anything that might stick out of the sides of your bikini bottom. This makes for neat and tidy look. The Brazilian, on the other hand, removes all pubic hair, including that on the labia and buttocks. Brazilian waxing is useful if you plan on wearing extremely revealing clothing, such as a thong bathing suit.
