Pubic hair can be removed in a number of ways, such as waxing, shaving, sugaring, electrolysis, laser hair removal or with chemical depilatory creams. Waxing involves applying melted, usually hot, wax to the pubic hair that an individual would like to remove. The wax, which adheres to the hair as it hardens, is then covered with small strips of cloth. When the wax hardens sufficiently, the cloth is pulled off quickly, removing the hair from its roots as the wax is pulled away. Waxing can be performed on oneself privately using a home kit or by a cosmetologist at a salon or spa. [ 3 ]
If a person has never been waxed before, or has not been waxed for a long time, it may be necessary to trim the pubic hair using scissors or an electric razor prior to waxing. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] A patch test is recommended, usually on the upper thigh, to test for allergies or skin sensitivities to the ingredients in the wax. Sometimes a hair growth inhibitor is applied after waxing, which slows the regrowth of hair if applied daily for an extended period of time. [ 3 ]
A Brazilian wax usually lasts around 3-6 weeks before hair starts growing back, but this can vary depending on individual hair growth rates.

Sensitivity: Individuals with sensitive skin are more prone to experiencing burns from hot wax during a Brazilian wax. It is important to communicate any concerns or sensitivities with your esthetician before starting the procedure!

Bikini waxing, the removal of pubic hair using special wax, has become a common practice for both women and men. It can be done at home with a DIY kit or by a professional at a salon or spa. The different styles of bikini waxing include American, French, and Brazilian waxing. American waxing removes hair that would not be covered by a swimsuit, while French waxing leaves a strip of hair above the vulva. Brazilian waxing removes all pubic hair from the pelvic region, labia, perineum, and anus.
