There is potential for mistakes when you give yourself a bikini wax. Here’s a guide on what not to do.
The bikini line remains covered under your clothes. But for reasons of hygiene, you want to remove the hair. If you have never had a bikini wax before, you might be embarrassed about booking an appointment. It’s fine: you can do bikini waxing at home. You will need to choose between hot wax and cold wax strips. But before you begin, read this first: 1 Let the hair grow to the right length. Hair length is a crucial factor in getting the best waxing results. It cannot be too short, or the wax stick to the skin. It cannot be too long, or it will hurt a lot when the strip is pulled. Generally, hot or cold wax is able to remove hair that has grown to 1/4th inch or a little more. If your hair is shorter than this, let it grow a little more before you wax it. 2 Don’t forget to prep the area. The bikini line has sensitive, thin skin with a lot of nerve endings. You are bound to feel the pain a lot more when you wax the bikini line. Exfoliate the skin before you begin, a few hours prior to the wax. Now apply a numbing gel on the area, or take a painkiller. The more you try to avoid pain, the better your pain will be. Once prepped, apply the wax and relax. Tensing your body will make the waxing hurt a lot more. 3 Don’t use hot wax if you’re not adept at using it. Many women prefer hot wax instead of cold wax, because they feel that hot wax gives better results. If you are not adept at using hot wax, you might scald your delicate bikini area skin. If you are biking waxing at home for the first time, a cold wax strip will work better. It does not burn or scald the skin in any way, and it comes with an easy grip tab to pull away the strip. If you want to use hot wax, invest in spa wax – it gives better control. 4 Don’t be gentle when you pull the strip. After you apply the hot wax or the cold wax strip, press on it firmly so that it adheres to the hair properly. Now grip the end of the strip and pull away firmly. Don’t be overtly gentle at this step. Pulling off the strip in one brisk motion removes all the hair in one pull, so you don’t have to go over it again and again. 5 Go over the bikini line in stages. Bikini waxing at home is a bit of a challenge. You need a private space where you can lie down with a mirror and have wax strips at hand. Go over the bikini area in stages. It’s about choosing what kind of bikini wax you want. A basic wax where you take off the hair on the panty line is done quickly. But Brazilian or Hollywood waxes might be tricky for newbies.
