Waxing Bikini Area

If you have tried to wax your bikini area and it ended up in a mess, then following are some helpful guidelines provided on how to wax bikini area? It’s particularly created for coarse hair, does not require a strip, and actually shrink wraps the hair making them much easier to come out. Following steps should be followed for waxing bikini area:

• Buy a waxing kit. It is advised to use hard wax for bikini area as the hair is coarse. Hard wax goes on smooth, but hardens so that it doesn’t need a strip to be removed.
• Have enough hair. Grow hair in the area of bikini to at least ¼ inch long. Make use of hair clippers to trim hair down if they are longer than ½ inch. Scissors cannot work well for trimming as you run through the risk of making some hair very short.
• Clear the skin. Make use of pre-wax cleanser on the area of bikini and apply pre-epilation oil which works well with hard wax. Don’t overdo it on the oil, more isn’t better.
• Apply wax. Making use of an applicator, apply wax evenly first in the opposite direction of hair growth, and then with the direction of hair growth to a larger area in the similar stroke. Don’t stop at the edge of where the hair grows, go through that point. You will make use of the part of the wax which is not attached to hair as a tag to take it off. The wax will dull as it gets hard, and will not be tacky. If the wax is not hard enough when removed, then it won’t take away all of the hair.
• Remove hair. Flick up a small part of the wax lightly which is not attached to hair on the end to be utilized as a tab once cooled. Hold the skin tightly with one hand, and remove the wax in opposite direction of hair growth in one fast pull, all the way to the other side. Press down with your hand on the skin to help in relieving some of the pain, after the wax is removed.
• Repeat. Work your way of waxing bikini area, repeating the steps 4&5.
• Take missed hairs. Make use of tweezers for removing any hairs missed by the wax.
• Clean the skin. Remove any remaining residue, with the help of wax remover.
• Soothe the skin. Apply an aloe based gel or lotion or apply after-wax lotion.
• Aftercare. The bikini area has a propensity for ingrown hair. Two days after the wax is done, lightly exfoliate area for avoiding ingrown hairs and try Solution2 if you do finish up getting any.
