Historical background
One would be surprised if depilation did not appear in ancient Egypt. The presence of hair on the face and body was considered a disregard for the surrounding people, so the Egyptians and Egyptians carefully monitored their hairline, or rather, its absence.
Beauty Cleopatra used a paste prepared on the basis of beeswax to remove body hair. This is the prototype of modern wax depilation. Inventive Nefertiti preferred to use sugar paste, today it is shugaring. Also for depilation, the Egyptians used tree resins and honey.

There are additional components for softening and moisturizing the skin, lotions that prevent ingrown hairs and other skin care products before and after the procedure.

Where does bikini waxing begin?
Brazilian depilation begins with skin preparation. A few hours before the procedure, you should do a light scrub, take a shower and do not apply moisturizer or oil to the skin.
The length of the hair should be at least 0.5 cm, in which case the wax will hook the hairs well and remove themthe first time. If the length is about a centimeter or more, then the master will pre-cut the hair.
It is important that the skin is free of inflammation, irritation and wounds. Otherwise, the procedure should be rescheduled for another day until the skin is restored.
Next, you need to discuss the desired result with the master. What part of the hair and in what form to leave on the pubic area: it can be a strip, a narrow rectangle, a triangle, or you need to remove all the hair. Will the design be a glitter tattoo or rhinestones.
How is bikini waxing done?
Brazilian depilation is performed on a cosmetic couch. Please note that the master lays a disposable sheet on the couch and wears disposable gloves. In some cases, when a large area of pubic hair is left enough, for example, a triangle, the master offers disposable panties.
First, a cooling agent is applied to the skin before depilation, when the agent is absorbed, sprinkle with talc. Heated wax, using a cosmetic spatula, is applied in a thin layer to the hair zone in the direction of hair growth. Next, a non-woven strip is applied, slightly pressed, the skin is pulled with the hand in the opposite direction from the jerk, and the strip is torn off with one sharp movement against hair growth. They start from the pubic area and gradually move to the labia and the intergluteal fold. During the depilation of the intergluteal fold, the client is asked to lie on his side.
At the end of the procedure, the remaining wax is removed with an oil-based cosmetic product andtreated with a sedative after depilation.
Two days after epilation, do not go to the sauna, swim in the pool, take a hot bath and wear tight synthetic underwear.
Brazilian hair removal reviews are mostly positive. Properly performed procedure does not cause discomfort and is performed quickly enough. There is no irritation or inflammation on the skin. Within three to four weeks, the skin remains smooth and well-groomed.
Contraindications
Contraindications for depilation:
- Inflammatory processes accompanied by elevated body temperature.
- Cancer.
- Damage to the skin in the area of depilation.
- Genital herpes.
- Diabetes.
- Epilepsy.
- Menstruation.
Ingrown hair prevention
After depilation, hair can grow in for two reasons. The first is the thinning of the hair, in which it either bends and grows into the skin with its end, or cannot “break through” the epidermis layer. The second reason is that during the procedure, the direction of the hair follicle may change, and the hair begins to grow a little sideways, growing into the skin.
Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to completely prevent ingrown hairs, but you can minimize their number.
- Use an anti-ingrown hair lotion after waxing.
- Scrub more often. Gently exfoliating the top layer of skin will help prevent ingrown hairs. After exfoliating, apply moisturizer or lotion to your skin.
- If hairs grow in constantly and there are a lot of them, switch to another type of depilation, for example, sugaring or photoepilation.
Bikini waxing at home (which waxes to buy)
Can I do my own Brazilian bikini? Depilation at home is possible, non-professional waxes such as Veet and Floresan are suitable for this. The firm offers wax in a jar that can be heated in the microwave and wax strips.
If you choose the first option, then watch the temperature of the wax, it should not be too hot, because you can get burned. Before the procedure, clean the skin well and treat the bikini area with a product before depilation. If the hair is longer than 0.5 cm, trim it with scissors or a trimmer.
If your choice fell on wax strips, then you must first cut them into short sections. Warm them well in your hands and apply to the skin, tear off against hair growth. After the procedure, treat the skin with a tissue to remove residual wax (it is included in the kit).
Many girls themselves use Brazilian wax for depilation. Product reviews are generally positive. Wax does not cause irritation and removes hairs well. The downside is that it’s not very convenient to do bikini hair removal on your own.
Bikini Design
Many women don't stop with Brazilian hair removal and complement it with a bikini design. Most often they make a glitter tattoo. These are drawingsmade from a dense layer of sequins. The masters have many different stencils with different images.
The most spectacular type of bikini design is a pattern lined with rhinestones, plus Brazilian depilation (photo below). This is painstaking work, but, unfortunately, such a design does not last very long.
