All you want to know about Brazilian Wax Part 3

Brazilian waxing is done at a spa and usually takes 30 minutes for the actual removal of hair and 3- 5 days to get over the pain. At the spa, one lies down semi nude with the legs apart. It is best not to shave hair for a few days. All the long hair is snipped away and only a fine stub is left. This allows the wax to attach on to the hair.

Prior to application of the wax, the therapist will sprinkle talc powder around the normal skin to prevent wax from sticking to skin. Once the wax is applied, it is gently pressed with a cloth, which will attach itself to the wax. One the wax is cooled, the wax is usually stripped in the opposite direction of hair growth. This means that the wax is typically pulled from the pubis to the abdomen. Once the pubis hair is removed and if you are still in the S & M mood, then you will be asked to lie on your stomach and hold the cheeks of your buttocks so wax can be applied over the anal and buttock area. Once this part is done, any residual hairs will be removed with a tweezer. For those who prefer to have a strip of hair remaining on the pubis mound it can be trimmed or dyed. Finally, soothing lotion is applied to make you feel great.

The first time a Brazilian Wax is always painful. However, most people who get this wax done say that repeat attempts are less painful. Others say that one should take some Motrin or Tylenol 1 hour before the procedure. Some therapists also apply some ice or a topical anesthetic for a few minutes prior to the procedure.

After Brazilian wax, one must avoid the sun and wear a sunscreen. If not, the area will appear darkly colored. The waxed area is generally very sensitive immediately afterwards- so avoid hot baths, sauna, or whirlpools. To avoid extreme discomfort after the procedure, do not wear tight underpants or restrictive clothing. Most experts claim that one should not have sex immediately after a Brazilian wax, because the area is quite sensitive. One should not have to worry about this, because most people are busy trying to manage the pain and thoughts of sex are far away.

And how long does Brazilian Wax last? - Anywhere from 3-6 weeks and then you have to go through this great experience again. With frequent waxing, the hair growth usually is much slow, but rest assured it is not permanent.

The cost of a Brazilian wax average anywhere from $40-$100.

Final Word: Most individuals who have undergone a Brazilian Wax usually never again complain about the razor.
