How is Brazilian hair removal done?
"Brazilian hair removal", "Hollywood hair removal", "sphinx hair removal" - all these are different names for deep and complete removal of hairs in intimate areas - on the pubis, perineum and buttocks.
Brazilian gained widespread popularity about 30 years ago, when two hot Brazilian women opened their own beauty salon in the United States and declared that this is the kind of spicy hair removal preferred by girls in their country. And it is not surprising, because this is facilitated by a hot temperament and a southern climate, where all year round the fair sex flaunts in seductive and revealing outfits. So, in 1987, Brazilian hair removal gained fame not only among ordinary American women, but also among Hollywood stars of the first echelon.
Any epilation, including Brazilian, requires careful preparation of the bikini area, such as:
- a ban on visiting the solarium and sunbathing;
- scrubbing intimate area with special means;
- checking the reaction of the skin to waxing - test.
In addition, a prerequisite is a hair length of at least 5 mm.
Well, and, of course, there are certain contraindications for such a procedure:
- diabetes;
- high blood pressure;
- menstruation;
- pregnancy;
- oncology.
How to choose a remedy 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. It includes "shugaring" and waxing;
- removal of vegetation "forever", or rather, for 5-10 years. Here, the latest hardware methods are used - photoepilation, laser and elos hair removal.
Waxing and shugaring
The essence of these procedures is to apply a special paste (sugar or wax) to the intimate areas. Pre-wax and a mixture for "shugaring" is heated up to 60 degrees (due to this, the pores expand), and then with the help of fabric or paper strips, a specialist cosmetologist tears off the flaps together with the hairs.
When using this method, it is possible to apply special stencils for intimate haircuts to the bikini area. Having chosen a drawing or composition, you need to discuss your preferences with the master in advance.
Fundamental ways to get rid of vegetation
The principle of photo, elos, and laser hair removal is based on the ability of the hair to conduct and absorb each type of energy, be it heat or light. The impulse acts on the root of the follicle and destroys it. But the peculiarity of this method is that the effect of the laser action extends only to the hairs that are in the stage of active growth. To neutralize the "dormant" follicles, you need to go through 5 to 10 sessions.
Now let's take a closer look at each of the types of Brazilian hair removal:
- Electrolysis is the most common and inexpensive hair removal technique. Suitable for blondes and red-haired girls. The "operation" is quite painful, since there is a direct contact of the electrical impulse with the skin.
- Laser and photo epilation are similar in principle of action and effectiveness. The beam penetrates from 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 often does not cause discomfort, there is only a slight tingling sensation. Sometimes, at the request of the patient, it is possible to use anesthesia. Be sure to apply an anti-inflammatory cream.
- Elos epilation. 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 doctors - an endocrinologist, mammologist and gynecologist.
Brazilian hair removal at home
"Brazilian" is definitely not suitable for shy ladies. After all, not everyone can endure with dignity such an "operation" from a beautician. The most adventurous girls have been successfully epilating the bikini area at home for a long time. To do this, use:
- Traditional medium-temperature wax paste - best for home use
- thicker hot wax - it lays down in a dense mass, so fabric or paper scraps are useless here;
- special wax strips that are easy enough to glue and tear off.
Tips and tricks:
- for the procedure, you need to purchase a 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 regrown up to 5-6 mm;
- the wax is applied in wide strokes, the strips are torn off sharply in the direction against the growth of the hair;
- after that, the skin is pressed with a thumb to reduce discomfort;
- first, the pubis is epilated, then the perineum, at the very end - the buttocks;
- you can get rid of the single remaining hairs with tweezers;
- the remains of the paste are washed off with warm water;
- after the "operation" it is better to use soothing decoctions and creams.
