Brazilian Waxing for Women - DIY Or Professional?

If you're a woman or man who is very conscious about appearance, then you can't settle anything less than the best. And if you've ever had a "bad wax" then you know the pain that comes with a botched waxing job.

Before you go out for an authentic Brazilian style waxing there are a few things to remember. 

Brazilian private waxing service is by far the most known style of bikini waxing. Other styles of bikini waxing include full bikini wax, regular bikini wax also known as American wax and French wax.

Basically, with a Brazilian wax, hair is removed in the front, back & everything in between. After subsequent waxing sessions, hair grows back thinner and slower as pulling the hair from the root weakens the hair follicle over time. Thus, less frequent waxing would be needed.

Most women do Brazilian waxing for hygiene purposes. A non-strip wax or hard wax is often the choice for waxing sensitive areas as it tends to be gentler than soft wax. Just a small tip for you! Exfoliate in the shower the day before your waxing session to remove dead skin and allow the wax to grip shorter hairs.

Truth to be told, there are downsides to Brazilian waxing such as hair has to be of a certain length and you might experience red bumps & ingrown hairs. Any rubbing or friction for example against your jeans can start an ingrown. For the prevention of ingrown hairs, one of the best ways would be dry exfoliation which removes dead skin cells without irritating the skin.

Waxing can seem so easy or expensive to some, they might just be thinking of turning to DIY (Do-It-Yourself) waxing sessions. The problem? They have no idea where to start or which DIY wax/kit to get. Living in this technological generation, the first thing any young person would do to gather information is to "Google". They seek advice on forums and read articles on the web.

1. That being said, coming right from the forums and articles are some reasons why you should let professionals do what they do best.

2. Waxing requires much caution, especially sensitive areas. Professionals will be able to avoid accidents such as skin tears and bleeding.

3. Purchasing of the wrong wax or wax that is not of good quality and pulling in the wrong direction can cause injury.

4. It hurts more when you do not know what you are doing. Professionals know how to manipulate the wax & hair. As such, the least amount of skin will be pulled and most hair immediately removed.

5. You are aware when you will be pulling the wax and you might just chicken out. You cannot leave the wax as it is and may end up pulling it slower or leaving the wax on for too long. It hurts more!

6. There are many hard to reach areas and thus you might leave a lot of stray hairs that may be too troublesome to remove. As a result, you may just be spending hours cleaning up the mess or using a razor. Never use a razor after you have tried waxing, it is as good as not having done waxing.

Knowing how to plant a mango tree does not necessarily lead to sweet juicy mangoes. Likewise, knowing it all about waxing does not mean it leads to your desired results. DIY waxing for women can cost cheaper than professional waxing, but remember, cheaper does always mean better.
