The practice of bikini waxing has been associated with hygiene and grooming purposes. It has also been credited with reducing cases of pubic lice globally but may increase the risk of folliculitis or infection around the hair follicle. Social attitudes towards pubic hair removal have varied over time and in different cultures. In some societies like Islam and India, body hair removal is considered customary.

What should I expect during a Brazilian wax appointment?
During a Brazilian wax, the process of removing hair from the root also helps in exfoliating the skin (yep). This means that dead skin cells are also removed along with the hair, leaving your skin feeling smoother and softer (oh yeah!). Additionally, exfoliation can help prevent ingrown hairs from forming after waxing (no more ingrown hairs!). By getting rid of dead skin cells, you can achieve a more even and long-lasting result when it comes to hair removal.
It is recommended to exfoliate the area beforehand, wear loose clothing, and avoid shaving for at least two weeks prior to your appointment.

The different styles of bikini waxing include American, French, and Brazilian waxing. American waxing removes hair that would not be covered by a swimsuit, while French waxing leaves a strip of hair above the vulva. Brazilian waxing removes all pubic hair from the pelvic region, labia, perineum, and anus.
Bikini waxing is the removal of pubic hair using a special wax, which can be hot or cold, that adheres to hairs and pulls them out when the wax is removed quickly from the skin, usually with a cloth strip.

Hard wax is the best choice for Brazilian waxing as it is designed for sensitive areas and effectively removes coarse hair without adhering to the skin. Soft wax or cold wax strips are not recommended for Brazilian waxing because they can cause more pain and irritation in delicate areas
