Bikini area: choosing a hair removal method. What is the best way to remove hair from the bikini area?

My story of fighting body hair began from the period of puberty and continues to this day) In general, quite a long time)

Wax epilation, Today, the most optimal hair removal option for me.

Let me explain the difference right away. Depilation from Epilation:

Chemical depilation using cream

2. Epilation- artificial hair removal (from French. epiler- “to remove hair”) by destroying the hair follicles in one way or another.

It differs from depilation in that it allows you to get rid of hair in the bikini area.

For excellent results you need:

• Find a master. This is the most important and difficult thing. Yes, girls. For the first procedure, I advise you to go to the salon and look at all the materials and equipment, a person who knows a lot about this matter. Read city forums, customer reviews, ask friends and acquaintances, in general, follow the recommendations of knowledgeable people.
• Grow your hair. Yes. This is definitely a close second. Growing my hair out for me personally big problem, because I have a permanent relationship with a man and cannot afford excessive hairiness. I found a way out) I start growing it 2 days before the start of my period and by the end I can epilate) it’s like an iron-clad alibi in front of my husband).
• Make a price/quality comparison. Of course, I advise you to go to 2-3 masters. For comparison. Although specialists work in the same field, they still prefer different methods. Spend different times. The results are also different. This is why prices vary. Look for “your” master.

The search for my master was successful, so I’m happy to share my impressions))

I had a deep bikini and armpit done at the salon. I constantly treat my legs with an epilator, because it is difficult to grow the length.

Time for hair removal with hot wax:

Deep bikini - 30 minutes;

Armpits - 7 minutes.

Cost of hair removal in a salon (Moscow region):

Deep bikini - 1000 rubles;

Armpits - 300 rubles.

As a result, in 40 minutes and for 1300 rubles we get 2 weeks of perfect smoothness))

After the procedure, the skin remains irritated and painful for several hours. This is normal, don't be alarmed. Good master should not leave bruises or hematomas on the body. Be sure to buy yourself a soothing gel after hair removal. This product will help the skin recover faster and recover from stress.

After some time visiting the salon, thoughts crept into my mind - “shouldn’t I try it myself?”

I kindly asked the master to give me the opportunity to pull a strip of frozen wax once... Of course, at that time, I had already been epilated probably the tenth time and by that time I had seen all the techniques for performing the procedure, in general I knew how to apply and where to pull then) The master gave me a spatula in my hands and with a decisive movement I applied the wax along the hair growth.. Frozen.. I stretch the skin.. I close my eyes.. I take a full lungful of air.. And.. I sharply pull against the hair growth. Yes, girls. It hurts. It hurts more than with the hands of a master. Hurting yourself is even more painful. My hands were already shaking with pain. And then I thought that I myself would no longer dare to do this.

But that was not the case. The pain was immediate and quickly forgotten. Literally right away. As soon as I returned home)) I searched all over Google and YouTube. I watched all the videos. I could have been given a specialist certificate. Mentally I felt ready))

I can say that I was inspired and still bought myself a complete set))))

What will be needed for the procedure? :

1. Hairs 4-7 mm long (it is better to grow during menstrual periods, this way we will achieve optimal length and minimal pain during the procedure);
2. We scrub the bikini area 2 days before the procedure to remove dead epithelial cells and prevent ingrown hairs (use a scrub or a medium-hard washcloth);
3. Wax melt;
4. Wax;
5. Epilator;
6. Talc (powder) + cotton pads;
7. Wooden stick;
8. Miramistin or chlorhexidine;
9. Tweezers
10. Oil to remove wax residues;
11. Sufficient amount of time;
12. Courage!

Fixed assets:

I use depilflax wax. Pink. Designed for coarse short hair.

Wax melt Tango. Simple, convenient, inexpensive. Melts quickly and maintains temperature throughout the entire procedure. Has a removable 400 ml bowl.

So, when we have prepared everything and gathered our strength, we can begin the procedure itself))

First, we wash ourselves in the usual way, wipe the skin dry, wipe it with an antiseptic and sprinkle it with talcum powder (I use Johnson Baby powder).

Heat the wax to a medium consistency (it should not be too thick or drip from the spatula). Girls, please be careful, too liquid wax can leave a burn. Test the temperature on your wrist. Then, of course, with experience, you will know by consistency whether it can be used or whether it is better to cool it a little.

Apply wax according to hair growth. Again... In the bikini area, especially deep ones, hair grows in different directions. For effective hair removal, it is important to take this fact into account and be sure to apply wax according to hair growth. Removal of wax from the skin occurs, accordingly, against hair growth. Before removing the strip of wax, you should stretch the skin well, this way you will ease your pain).

I'll be honest, it's very painful. Especially after a razor, when the hair is thick and coarse. But believe me, the result is worth it to endure))

The whole procedure takes me 40-50 minutes. Single hairs remain on the surface, which I immediately remove with an epilator.

Wax residues can be easily removed with any oil. I chose Johnson Baby with chamomile.

After the procedure, we wipe the skin with an alcohol-free antiseptic! I recommend miramistin or chlorhexidine.

And so.. Voila))) we have a perfectly smooth bikini that will delight us with its smoothness for 10-14 days) Then single hairs will begin to grow. They can be removed with tweezers or an epilator, extending the smoothness for another 5-7 days. And yes, by the way, do not forget to scrub the epilated area every 3 days to prevent ingrown hairs.

Why do I torture myself at home, you ask? 😃 Yes, because it’s not as expensive as visiting a salon)) and besides, you don’t have to show your “beauty” to strangers).

Cost of all funds used:

I've been doing hair removal myself for about 2 years. I have never regretted that I decided to do it myself. The savings are colossal. And also pride in the fact that I can make myself even more beautiful, efficiently, quickly, safely)))

Be healthy and beautiful! 💋

Epilation zones. Depilation can be carried out wherever unwanted hairs grow. Men most often remove hair on their chest and back. Women remove hair from their legs, arms, armpits, face and bikini area. Epilation bikini zones can be of several types (see photo): classic hair removal (hair removal along the swimsuit line) (1), Brazilian hair removal (2), full Brazilian, Hollywood or deep hair removal(3) and epilation of the buttocks (4).

Depilatory wax

There are three types of wax: cold wax(ready-made wax strips with wax, which are heated by the warmth of your hands), warm wax for hair removal(warm up and remove using wax strips) and hot wax(warm up and remove without wax strips). Warm wax usually used to remove hair from legs and arms, hot wax used for hair removal in the bikini area, face and armpit area, i.e. where hairs are difficult to remove.

How to do bikini waxing at home

Bikini depilation best do with hot wax, since a warm one may not take all the hairs, and it’s not very convenient to work with strips in this area.

Preparing for the hair removal procedure

Clean your bikini area thoroughly. Use a scrub or peeling for this. After this treatment, the hair follicles will soften and the procedure will be less painful. Intimate areas should be thoroughly dried with a soft towel. If the hairs are longer than 5-7 mm, carefully trim them with scissors. In short, postpone depilation.

Bikini waxing

The procedure is most effective when the hair length is 5-7 mm. Heat the wax in a wax melter or any container in a water bath to the melting point. Apply hot wax to the bikini area in the direction of hair growth. After the wax has hardened, it must be removed with a sharp movement of the hand.

Important! Wax should be removed against the direction of hair growth.

After bikini waxing

The procedure can be repeated after two to three weeks. 3-4 days after bikini hair removal, use a scrub or peel to prevent ingrown hairs. You can also use the tool for ingrown hairs and remedy to slow down hair growth.

Deep bikini hair removal (Brazilian bikini) at home

Deep bikini depilation is also called Brazilian hair removal. Deep bikini area- the most sensitive area, and hair removal is the most painful there. If you have never done hair removal before, we advise you not to start with deep bikini hair removal, first try waxing your legs, arms and armpits, find out your sensitivity.

Preparing the deep bikini area for depilation at home

Before the depilation procedure, you should thoroughly wash your bikini area. To do this, it is better to use a special scrub containing glycolic or salicylic acid; it will cleanse the skin and pores. After this, intimate areas should be thoroughly blotted with a soft towel.

Deep bikini waxing procedure

Waxing, or waxing - this is the most effective procedure, eliminating unwanted hair however, it requires some skill.

5 - 7 mm is the most optimal hair length in the bikini area, necessary for successful depilation. If the length is longer, the hairs should be carefully trimmed with scissors. If less, then it is better to postpone the procedure.

Hot wax is applied in the direction of hair growth and hardens slightly. The wax must be removed quickly and sharply, against the direction of hair growth. Such manipulations should be carried out until the desired result is achieved. Remove single hairs with tweezers.

After deep bikini waxing procedure

The result lasts for two to three weeks. 3-4 hours after epilation, apply a lotion against ingrown hairs and a hair growth inhibitor to the skin. 2-3 days after deep bikini epilation, exfoliate the skin to prevent ingrown hairs.

Depilation of such a delicate area as the bikini area is a very important process for every woman. We want to tell you which methods of removing unwanted hair are most suitable for bikini depilation at home.

Depilatory cream

Despite the fact that there are special creams that are used exclusively in the bikini area, we advise you to weigh the pros and cons before deciding on this method of depilation. The effect of using depilatory creams is extremely short-lived, because, as a rule, the removed hairs grow back the very next day after the procedure.

Also, do not forget that creams are quite toxic and allergenic, and their contact with the mucous membrane can cause a serious chemical burn.

Electric epilator

Depilation of the bikini area at home using an electric epilator can be compared more to medieval torture than to a modern method of hair removal. While an epilator is still only suitable for depilating arms and legs, in such a delicate area as the bikini, its use will be extremely painful.
Another significant disadvantage of hair removal using an electric epilator is the fact that the epilator very often breaks off hair because it removes it incorrectly, at different angles. This is fraught with ingrown hairs, and no one wants ingrown hairs and, as a result, rough scars in the bikini area.

Shaving

Here we just want to say that shaving, especially in hard-to-reach areas, is hell for a perfectionist. A lot of hair remains even with the most careful approach:

Depilation of the bikini area with wax

Waxing is a proven and favorite way for many to get rid of unwanted body hair. But is it so easy to depilate the bikini area yourself?

Before the procedure, you must carefully prepare the skin. First you need to clean it with a special depilatory gel, and then dry it with talcum powder.

Only hot wax is suitable for depilation of the bikini area. Therefore, it is advisable to have a device for heating wax - a wax melter. If you do not have a wax melter and do not plan to purchase one, we recommend that you purchase not ordinary wax, but one that can be heated in the microwave. Following the instructions, you will need to heat the wax to a certain temperature.

Next, you need to take the wax with a wooden spatula, then apply a layer of wax 1-2 mm thick to the area to be depilated strictly according to hair growth. On the side from which you will remove the wax, you need to leave a small tongue that does not stick to the skin. Then you need to wait a few seconds and remove the wax with a sharp movement against the hair growth and parallel to the skin. It is necessary to repeat the actions until the result is achieved. A special mineralized oil will help you remove wax from your skin.

This is important!

Waxing is a truly effective method of getting rid of unwanted hair. But when deciding to carry out a bikini depilation procedure at home, you need to understand that it is very difficult. Even experienced professional craftsmen, as a rule, do not dare to carry out this procedure on their own.

Sugar depilation of the bikini area at home

To depilate the bikini area, it is necessary to use high-density sugar paste, since the hairs there are coarse and hard. It is important to understand that it is extremely difficult to depilate this delicate area with sugar. If you can still deal with the pubic area on your own, then in order to treat hard-to-reach areas, you will have to get creative. A portable magnifying mirror may help you with the procedure.

If you have been depilating your bikini area in a salon for a long time, then the hairs should be thin and soft. In this case, sugar in a cartridge (bandage technique) may be suitable for you.

Also, the bandage technique may be suitable if the depilation area is large, such as for tall women.

This is important!

Let us repeat, the bikini area is very sensitive, so in order to avoid an allergic reaction, we recommend that you check the skin’s reaction to the composition before the procedure. Sugar pastes They consist of natural substances, so they almost never cause allergies, which, unfortunately, cannot be said about wax.

Waxing and sugaring are effective procedures that have earned the trust of millions of women. But it is still worth understanding that it is almost impossible to effectively carry out the depilation procedure with wax and sugar on your own without injuries, bruises and ingrown hairs. Do not conduct experiments on your body and trust the care of such delicate areas to experienced hair removal specialists at the Depilux health and beauty studio!
