What's special about Brazilian hair removal?

Removal unwanted hairs In the field of bikinis, it has long been not just a fashion trend, but also an elementary rule of good manners. Each woman decides for herself which type of hair removal to choose, based on her tastes and level of personal comfort. “Brazilian hair removal” - what is hidden under this intriguing name? How to correctly perform this procedure at home?

How to do Brazilian hair removal

“Brazilian hair removal”, “Hollywood hair removal”, “Sphinx hair removal” - all these are different names for deep and complete hair removal in intimate areas - on the pubis, perineum and buttocks.

“Brazilian” gained wide popularity about 30 years ago, when two sizzling Brazilian women opened their own beauty salon in the USA and said that this piquant type of hair removal was preferred by girls in their country. And it’s not surprising, because this is facilitated by the hot temperament and southern climate, where all year round the fair sex flaunts themselves in seductive and revealing outfits. Thus, in 1987, Brazilian hair removal gained fame not only among ordinary American women, but also among first-tier Hollywood stars.

Any hair removal, including Brazilian, requires careful preparation of the bikini area, such as:

• ban on visiting the solarium and sunbathing;
• scrubbing intimate area using special means;
• checking the skin's reaction to waxing - test.

In addition, a prerequisite is that the hair length is at least 5 mm.

Well, and, of course, there are certain contraindications for such a procedure:

• diabetes mellitus;
• high blood pressure;
• menstruation;
• pregnancy;
• oncology.

How to choose a product for Brazilian hair removal

“Hollywood hair removal” is conventionally divided into two types:

• short-term hair removal – when the effect lasts only 2-4 weeks. This includes “sugaring” and waxing;
• removal of vegetation “forever”, or more precisely, for 5–10 years. The latest hardware methods are used here - photoepilation, laser and elos-epilation.

Waxing and sugaring

The essence of these procedures is to apply a special paste (sugar or wax) to the intimate areas. The wax and sugaring mixture are first heated to 60 degrees (due to this, the pores expand), and then, using fabric or paper strips, a cosmetologist tears off the flaps along with the hairs.

When using this method, it is possible to apply special stencils to the bikini area for an intimate haircut. Having chosen a drawing or composition, you need to discuss your preferences with the artist in advance.

Drastic ways to get rid of vegetation

The principle of photo-, elos-, and laser hair removal is based on the ability of hair to conduct and absorb each type of energy, be it thermal or light. The impulse affects the root of the follicle and destroys it. But the peculiarity of this method is that the effect of the laser applies only to hairs that are in the active growth stage. To neutralize “dormant” follicles you need to undergo from 5 to 10 sessions.

Now let’s take a closer look at each type of Brazilian hair removal:

1. Electrolysis is the most common and inexpensive hair removal method. Suitable for blondes and red-haired girls. The “operation” is quite painful, since there is direct contact of the electrical impulse with the skin.
2. Laser and photoepilation are similar in principle of action and effectiveness. The beam penetrates the upper layers of the epidermis and is absorbed by the pigment melanin. Due to this, the follicle heats up and literally burns out. Thanks to the latest equipment, the procedure most often does not cause discomfort, with only a slight tingling sensation. Sometimes, at the request of the patient, it is possible to use anesthesia. Be sure to apply anti-inflammatory cream.
3. Elos hair removal. The method is based on the combination of electrical and optical energy. This method of removing vegetation is still unusual for the majority of the female population, however, its effectiveness has long been proven - smoothness and silkiness of the skin will be guaranteed for several years. The downside is the relatively high price. Before the first session, experts recommend consulting with doctors - an endocrinologist, mammologist and gynecologist.

Brazilian hair removal at home

“Brazilian” is definitely not suitable for shy ladies. After all, not everyone can withstand such an “operation” from a cosmetologist with dignity. The most enterprising girls have been successfully epilating the bikini area at home for a long time. For this use:

• traditional medium-temperature wax paste - best suited for home use;
• thicker hot wax - it lays down in a dense mass, so fabric or paper flaps are useless here;
• special wax strips that can be simply glued and torn off.

Tips and tricks:

• For the procedure, you need to purchase special wax and a wooden spatula for application. The paste is heated to a comfortable temperature - the one indicated in the instructions;
• the skin should be dry and the hairs should be slightly grown to 5–6 mm;
• the wax is applied in broad strokes, the strips are torn off sharply in the direction opposite to the hair growth;
• after this, the skin is pressed with the thumb to reduce discomfort;
• First, the pubis is epilated, then the perineum, and at the very end - the buttocks;
• single remaining hairs can be removed using tweezers;
• the remaining paste is washed off with warm water;
• after the “operation” it is better to use soothing decoctions and creams.
