Brazilian hair removal has gained worldwide recognition. Now in any beauty salon you can get this procedure quickly and almost painlessly.
History reference
One would be surprised if depilation did not appear in ancient Egypt. The presence of hair on the face and body was considered a neglect of the people around, so the Egyptians and Egyptians carefully watched their hairline, or rather, its absence.
Beauty Cleopatra used a paste prepared on the basis of beeswax to remove body hair. This is a prototype of modern waxing. Inventive Nefertiti preferred to use sugar paste, today it is shugaring. Also for depilation, the Egyptians used wood resins and honey.
The modern Brazilian depilation of the bikini zone is slightly different from that which was done in antiquity. The main components remained the same - wax or sugar. There were additional components for softening and moisturizing the skin, lotions that prevent hair ingrowth and other skin care products before and after the procedure.
Directly Brazilian depilation appeared in New York. Brazilian sisters Padila opened in 1987 a beauty salon, where they began to conduct a new procedure for Americans with an exotic name.
This type of depilation involves the removal of hair in the bikini area, on the pubic part, the labia and in the intergluteal fold. A distinctive feature of Brazilian depilation is a thin strip or some pattern left by the master on the pubic part.

Where does depilation of the bikini zone begin?
Brazilian hair removal begins with skin preparation. A few hours before the procedure, you need to make a light scrub, take a shower and do not apply moisturizer or oil to the skin.
The hair length should be at least 0.5 cm, in which case the wax will hook the hairs well and remove them the first time. If the length is about a centimeter or more, the master will cut the hair first.
It is important that the skin does not have inflammation, irritation or wounds. Otherwise, the procedure should be rescheduled for another day until the skin is restored.
Next, you need to negotiate with the master the desired result. What part of the hair and in what form should be left on the pubic area: it can be a strip, a narrow rectangle, a triangle, or you need to remove all the hair. Will the design be glitter tattoo or rhinestones.
How is bikini waxing done?
Brazilian hair removal is carried out on a cosmetology couch. Please note that the master put a disposable sheet on the couch and put on disposable gloves. In some cases, when a large enough area of pubic hair is left , for example, a triangle, the master offers disposable panties.
First, a coolant is applied to the skin before depilation, when the agent is absorbed, sprinkle with talc. Heated wax, with a cosmetological spatula, is applied in a thin layer to the hair area in the direction of hair growth. Next, impose a non-woven strip, gently press, pull the skin with your hand in the opposite direction from the jerk and tear the strip with one sharp movement against hair growth. Start from the pubic zone and gradually move to the labia and the intergluteal fold. During the depilation of the intergluteal fold, the client is asked to lie on his side.
At the end of the procedure, the remnants of wax are removed with an oil-based cosmetic product and treated with a sedative after depilation.
Two days after hair removal, you can’t go to the sauna, swim in the pool, take a hot bath and wear tight synthetic underwear.
Brazilian hair removal reviews is mostly positive. A correctly carried out procedure does not cause discomfort and is performed quickly enough. There is no irritation or inflammation on the skin. For three to four weeks, the skin remains smooth and well-groomed.
Contraindications
Contraindications to depilation:
- Inflammatory processes, accompanied by increased body temperature.
- Cancerous diseases.
- Damage to the skin in the depilation area.
- Genital herpes.
- Diabetes.
- Epilepsy.
- Menstruation.
Hair Ingrowth Prevention
After depilation, hair can grow for two reasons. The first is thinning of the hair, in which it either bends and grows with the end into the skin, or cannot “break through” the epidermis layer. The second reason is that during the procedure the direction of the hair follicle may change, and the hair begins to grow a little sideways, growing into the skin.
Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to completely prevent hair ingrowth , but their number can be minimized.
- After depilation, use anti-ingrown lotion.
- Make a scrub more often. Gently exfoliating the top layer of the skin you will prevent ingrown. After scrub, apply a moisturizer or lotion to the skin.
- If the hairs grow constantly and there are a lot of them, go to another type of depilation, for example, shugaring or photoepilation.
Bikini depilation at home (which waxes to buy)
Can I make a Brazilian bikini on my own? Depilation at home is possible, for this non-professional waxes such as Veet and Floresan are suitable. The company offers wax in a jar, which can be heated in a microwave and wax strips.
If you choose the first option, then monitor the temperature of the wax, it should not be too hot, since you can get a burn. Before the procedure, cleanse the skin well and treat the bikini area with the product before depilation. If the hair is longer than 0.5 cm, trim it with scissors or a trimmer.
If your choice fell on wax strips, then first they need to be cut into short sections. Warm them well in your hands and apply on the skin, tear off against hair growth. After the procedure, treat the skin with a napkin to remove wax residue (it is in the kit).
Many girls themselves use Brazilian wax for depilation. Product reviews are generally positive. Wax does not cause irritation and removes hairs well. The downside is that on your own it is not very convenient to have a bikini hair removal.
Bikini design
Many women do not stop at Brazilian hair removal, and complement it with a bikini design. Most often they make glitter tattoos. These are drawings made of a dense layer of sparkles. Masters have many different stencils with different images.
The most spectacular type of bikini design is a pattern laid out of rhinestones, plus Brazilian depilation (photo below). This is painstaking work, but, unfortunately, such a design does not last very long.
