Bikini waxing

From Free net encyclopedia

Bikini waxing is a type of hair removal in the pubic region. A bikini wax involves the removal of pubic hair adjacent to the pantyline (or "bikini") area. This is a fairly common procedure in the United States. Because it can be painful, some estheticians suggest taking ibuprofen one hour before the wax.

Procedure

1. You will need to take your pants/trousers off. If you are wearing a skirt, you can normally just lift this to your waist. As you are just removing the edges of your pubic hair, you can normally leave your underwear on.

2. The person doing your bikini wax will tuck some paper inside the edge of your underwear to stop any wax getting on them.

3. He/she will apply a layer of wax to the area. He/she will then place a wax strip on top, and rip it off quickly. He/she will repeat this procedure until he/she has removed all the hair from your bikini line area.

The procedure is similar to that for the more extreme Brazilian wax. Unlike the Brazilian wax, a bikini wax can be performed privately in the home, but it is generally more convenient to have a licensed cosmetologist or esthetician perform the procedure.
