Brazilian / Bikini Wax vs. Shaving
What is the difference between shaving and getting brazilian? First let's talk about shaving. Shaving is a method of hair removal where you use a sharp blade to cut the hair off at the surface level of the skin.
Shaving is the method most people use on a day to day basis but when it comes to shaving it can cause razor burn and irritation. also, you risk cutting yourself as well. Since shaving only removes the hair from the surface level of your skin it will begin to grow back and become stubbly within a couple days.
A brazilian wax is a method of hair removal using warm wax to remove hair from deep in the follicle at the root of the hair itself. You can still experience some irritation with a Brazilian wax, especially since you have sensitive skin. If you are prone to ingrown hairs we have our bump away bar cleanser that gently exfoliates and our bump away spray which can be used on a cotton round and applied to the affected areas. Our bump away spray is the more intense version of the two products.
Since a brazilian wax removes the hair from the root it takes longer for the hair to begin to grow back. With shaving the hair can grow back within a couple of days but a brazilian can take several weeks.
The hair on your body grows in 3 different stages so it will take 3 brazilian waxes to assure your hairs are all on the same cycle, this will insure you to stay smooth longer between waxes. The more you get brazilian waxes the thinner your hair growth will become and the easier, faster and less painful your waxes become!
