Are you considering booking an appointment for waxing at the best Hair removal Gurgaon to rock a swimsuit without worrying about hair growth? Confused between a Bikini and Brazilian wax? Here, we create a comprehensive and useful guide to differentiate these types of waxes and choose the right one.
What is Brazilian Wax?
A Brazilian wax involves hair removal from the entire pubic area i.e. pubic bone/labia, bikini line, upper thighs, and buttocks area. Everything including the bikini area is covered in Brazilian wax.
Types of Brazilian Wax
1. French
This type of Brazilian wax removes hair from the pubic bone, upper thighs, and labia, excluding the butt part. You can go for it if you wish more laissez-faire with the backside.
2. Hollywood
This type of Brazilian wax is also known as ‘honeymoon wax’ or ‘full Brazilian’ and is beneficial in removing every bit of hair. It removes hair around the upper thighs, butt, labia, and pubic bone. It is named Hollywood because it is highly popular in Hollywood.
What is Bikini Wax?
A bikini wax is the same as what its name depicts. It involves removing the hair outside or along the bikini line to wear your favorite swimsuit without wondering about hair growth. This waxing removes hair from the area around the pubic bone i.e. the area seen after wearing a swimsuit.
Types of Bikini Wax
1. Bikini Line
This type of bikini wax removes hair from the upper thigh or the area along the bikini line to have a hair-free look in undies or swimsuits.
2. Full Bikini
It is simply an add-on to a traditional bikini wax but it also removes the hair from the bikini line. In this type of bikini wax, hair is removed from the pubic bone and other frontal areas, leaving the butt and labia area untouched.
What Type of Wax is used in Brazilian and Bikini Wax?
Hard and soft wax are two types of wax used to do Brazilian and bikini wax. Let’s get an overview of these types of waxes –
1. Hard wax
This wax provides a painless waxing experience because it sticks to the hair rather than the skin. It rips off hair without taking skin with it. Hard wax is applied when it is hot and then pulled off when hardened without using waxing strips.
2. Soft wax
This type of wax is difficult to handle and needs a strip for hair removal. This is a traditional wax that is still used. It is initially heated to the right consistency and then applied with a spatula. The unwanted hair is then pulled off using a waxing strip. It is comparatively painful and takes off the outermost layer. The soft wax remains sticky. Thus, you would require using muslin strips or gauze to remove wax.
Which Types of Wax I Should Choose?
The choice between these two types of wax depends on what you find more comfortable, whether you want complete hair removal and your pain tolerance. The first-timers must go with a bikini wax first and then with a Brazilian wax.
Both of these types of waxes can be done using soft wax but hard wax is generally recommended by experts. This is highly important when you’re considering Brazilian wax as it can be extremely sensitive. Brazilian wax hurts more than bikini and soft wax hurts more than hard. Don’t shave for about 2-4 weeks before booking an appointment for waxing.
