How to prepare for your first Brazilian wax

There's no beating about the bush (pun intended!), getting your first Brazilian wax will not be a fun experience for most people. However, as they say, no pain no gain, and being a longer-lasting hair-removal method, it will be worth it. A wax will keep your lady-parts smooth for two to four weeks, compared to only days (sometimes only hours!) with shaving.

Check out below what you should do to prepare for your first Brazilian wax.

Before your Brazilian Wax at Kelowna Esthetics Studio

• Hair should be between 1/4 and 1/2 an inch long (about 10-14 days of growth) - this ensures the wax can bind to the hair and remove it from the root. 
• Make sure the area you plan on removing hair is well exfoliated and not oily. Exfoliation removes dead skin build up around and in the follicle making for easier and more thorough hair removal.
• Take a warm bath close to your wax to soften the skin. 
• If you are close to your period, be aware that your skin will be more sensitive.
• Some people find taking 2 Advil 30 minutes prior to their appointment can reduce the discomfort. 
• Do not shave between waxes as this can chafe the skin and create sharper, coarser hair.
• Try to relax! Like a lot of things in life, the anticipation is often worse than the actual event.
• Know that it gets better. Every wax after the first one gets easier, especially when your hair starts growing in finer and the follicle becomes much weaker.
