With bikini weather approaching, now is the time to start thinking about getting your skin in shape for the summer! One important aspect is removing unwanted hair, which can be very unsightly and embarrassing when it’s in the bikini area! One of the best ways to remove hair is through waxing – but which is the best option for the bikini area: bikini waxing or Brazilian waxing?
So, what’s the difference between bikini and Brazilian waxing?
Both bikini and Brazilian waxing deal with removing unwanted hair in the bikini area. The main difference is how much hair is removed.
Bikini – Bikini waxing removes hair at and just below the bikini line. It gives you the neat, clean look you want with a quick and simple treatment.
Brazilian – Brazilian waxing completely removes all hair from the bikini area from all sides, leaving your skin completely soft and smooth. In some cases, just a strip of hair is left in the front (this is sometimes called a French wax), but usually all hair is removed.
Which choice is better – bikini or Brazilian?
The decision is really a personal choice about which aesthetic you prefer, both for the look and feel. Both treatments remove hair in the bikini area so you’re ready for bikini weather, but a Brazilian might be a better choice in a small string bikini or if you prefer the bare look overall.
Other considerations are time and possible discomfort. Since less hair is removed in a bikini waxing, these can be quicker, and you can be back to your regular routine in minutes. Brazilian waxing can take a bit longer because there are more places to remove hair.
Most people don’t find waxing uncomfortable, especially when it’s done regularly. But if you’re a bit more sensitive to waxing, a bikini wax might be a better choice because it’s quicker, and because less area of your skin will be treated. For most, people, there’s not much difference in discomfort level between bikini waxing and Brazilian waxing.
So, as with choosing which look you prefer, choosing which waxing option is better is a personal choice!
Is waxing effective?
The simple answer is yes – waxing is a very effective way to remove unwanted hair. There are several reasons why waxing is so effective:
Full hair removal. Shaving only cuts hair at the surface. But hair grows from the bottom of the hair follicle, where new cells are attached to existing hair strands and pushed up. When you shave, you’re cutting off the top but leaving all the hair growth below, which is why you quickly discover stubble when the hairs push up. Waxing pulls out the entire hair, including the root – and can even damage the follicle itself – so that the entire follicle needs to repair and regrow before anymore hair reaches the surface.
Long lasting. That complete from-the-root hair removal means that it takes much longer to regrow your unwanted hair. That means you get a lot more time to enjoy your silky-smooth results before your next waxing appointment – about three to six weeks, versus just days for shaving!
Precise. Your ARO Hair Salon esthetician applies the waxing product only to the areas that need to be treated. That means you get precise hair removal, which is helpful when shaping the bikini line or when you have facial waxing to shape perfect eyebrows.
Exfoliating. One additional benefit is exfoliation. When the professional wax product is removed, it also removes the thin area of dead skin cells that can make your skin look dull and feel dry and flaky. A healthy exfoliating treatment means beautiful skin!
Why do I need to keep waxing every month?
Setting regular waxing appointments, whether it’s for the bikini area or other areas of your skin, means that the results are longer lasting and more efficient. Removing hair with waxing regularly in the same place can eventually even stop hair from growing in those areas, since the follicles are damaged regularly. Minimally, hair in regularly treated areas will grow back finer and less noticeable than before, which looks and feels better – and it makes the next waxing appointment even easier!
