Waxing is the most popular way to deal with unwanted body hair. When it comes to intimate areas, waxing is the undisputed solution to getting things going. Many hair removal products have the specific purpose of relieving people from discomfort during a Brazilian wax, and it’s all about knowing what you want from a wax. As you probably know, both soft and hard waxes have the advantage of ensuring an efficient process, so which of these options is actually better when it comes to Brazilian waxes?
1. What is Brazilian Wax?
To choose the best type of wax for Brazilians, you must first understand what exactly is in it. Brazilian hair removal goes a step further than kini hair removal, so much so that both treatments are often combined in one hair removal session. However, this also means that there is some misunderstanding surrounding the definition of Brazilian wax. A Brazilian wax requires the removal of the hair around the pubic bone, from the front down to the butt cleft.
I have a friend who is a used iPhone wholesale supplier in China. She went to Brazil on a business trip last week and tried a wax at a local beauty salon, she told me that unless the client chooses to be completely nude, the standard Brazilian has a small strip or triangle of hair on top. Some salons and spas make a distinction between the two options, so removing all pubic hair is labeled fully Brazilian.
A Brazilian wax can take anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes to apply, depending on how much skin you need to treat. Clients are also asked to change positions several times during the treatment, sometimes to relieve pain in a particular part of the body after the wax has been ripped off.
Choosing the right wax formulation is crucial when dealing with Brazilian waxes. Making the wrong choice can ruin your client’s experience to the point where they decide to stop waxing altogether.
Before getting a Brazilian wax, these are some great recommendations for clients:
- At least 1/4 inch of hair should be allowed to grow.
- Schedule an appointment at least 5 days after your period ends.
- Exfoliate the area at least a few hours before your appointment. Regular exfoliation also makes waxing the skin easier.
- Wash your skin before your appointment, but don’t apply any lotions or creams. Residue clogs freshly exfoliated pores.
- Be aware of pain and exposure. The beautician will have to wax your private parts up close and personal. After the first session, the pain started to decrease.
- Do not shave after you start waxing, or you will disrupt the hair regrowth cycle. This can also cause more discomfort during the upcoming wax session.
2. Which Is Better, Soft Wax or Hard Wax?
If you’ve worked in the hair removal industry, you’re probably familiar with the main characteristics that differentiate soft waxes from hard waxes. Beauty salons often offer several versions to better suit client preferences, so you won’t be left without options. Both soft and hard waxes have advantages that make them work during Brazilian treatments, but there are also benefits that help one over the other to ensure a smoother process. Let’s look at each of them individually:
- Soft waxes: These are designed to remove a lot of hair without wasting too much time, so they come in handy on areas with particularly rough hair. Some formulations offer many advantages for the most sensitive areas of the body, such as low melting points and a creamy consistency that feels comfortable on the skin. Soft body waxes are easier to handle, so accidents are less common, but this can change when applied on delicate/thinner skin like the inner thighs and pubic area.
- Hard waxes: Because they grip the hair without sticking to the skin, hard waxes are gentler on sensitive areas. This reduces the chance of skin breakouts, and their low melting point makes burns less likely to occur. While neither wax is particularly dangerous when used in Brazilians, hard wax is the best choice for efficiency without compromising client safety. Some additional advantages include:
- They can grab shorter hair without stressing the skin (though, the longer the hair, the better the chance of a smooth finish).
- They are better suited for fine areas where precision is critical.
- Once the technique is mastered, its consistency leaves a pleasant sensation on the client’s skin.
