Comparing Brazilian Waxing With Other Techniques
There is no doubt that Brazilian waxing has become very popular in recent years.
However, many people are still weary of getting a wax because some of the negative connotations associated the procedure.
They include having to do it every 4-6 weeks, and the potential for red bumps and ingrown hairs.
However, these concerns remain the same regardless of the hair removal procedure you use.
To ease your concerns, the following is a comparison of Brazilian waxing and other hair removal techniques.
Shaving This is the most popular by far.
There is not much explanation required here.
However, shaving is very time consuming and must be done frequently to keep your free from hair.
Considering the cost of razor, replacement blades and shaving cream, shaving is not as cheap as most people think.
Don't forget about the possibility of cutting yourself.
In this sense, Brazilian waxing is by far a more time efficient option.
Sugaring Sugaring is a very similar process to waxing.
However, it is done over a series of appointments.
Technicians use a heated sugar mixture (usually a combination of sugar, vinegar or lemon juice and water) which is covered with a strip of fabric, or spread directly on the skin.
Comparatively, sugaring can become expensive compared to Brazilian waxing, and you are still at risk for developing red bumps and ingrown hairs.
Hair removal creams Hair removal creams have become popular in recent years.
People simply apply the cream and wait a predetermined amount of time and wash the cream (and hair) off.
While it is quick, these creams are not recommended for your pelvic area.
These creams are also not recommended for people with sensitive skin as it could cause a rash or reaction.
In this sense, waxing is the only viable option.
Other forms of waxing There are many forms of waxing out there; however, Brazilian waxing is the only one that does a complete removal of hair.
Some of the most popular forms of waxing include bikini waxing, French waxing, and American waxing.
All waxing does involve some degree of pain; however, this pain does subside after a few visits.
If this is a concern, most salon technicians recommend taking a couple of aspirin an hour before your appointment.
The main benefit of waxing is that your hair tends to grow back much lighter and less coarse.
Just like in Brazilian waxing, most forms of waxing use a mixture of beeswax and tall oil, and not synthetic waxes that are typically used to wax your legs.
Compared to other hair removal techniques, Brazilian waxing is not as extreme as most people think it is.
Each technique will cost you some money, some discomfort, and have some risk of ingrown hairs, so why not go all the way and remove all of your hair with a Brazilian wax?
