How to do bikini waxing at home - useful information in Podruzhka salons

Advantages and disadvantages

Deep bikini waxing still remains relevant because it has many advantages. One of the main advantages of this method is that it can be easily done at home.

As practice shows, difficulties arise only at the very beginning, during the first sessions. Over time, the procedure will become familiar, and the result will get better each time.

The main advantages of waxing the bikini area include:

low cost. Despite the fact that wax strips and wax in a cartridge are not economical products, such hair removal is still profitable. To treat the bikini area, a small amount of the composition will be required; if performed correctly, the procedure will have to be carried out no more than once every 3 weeks. All this makes waxing quite economical;
simplicity and ease of use;
minimal likelihood of side effects;
hypoallergenic;
maximum safety;
long lasting effect. Depending on the individual characteristics of the body, the smoothness of the skin will last from 2 to 3 weeks;
rapidity. For experienced girls, treatment of the bikini area takes no more than 25 minutes.

As for the weaknesses, bikini waxing has practically none. The main disadvantage of this method of hair removal is high pain.

Many young ladies refuse waxing only because it is very uncomfortable. It is also necessary to take into account that ingrown hairs may appear if the technique is not performed correctly.

If you remove wax strips from the skin incorrectly, the hairs may break at the very root and begin to grow incorrectly. In addition, when performing the procedure in unsanitary conditions, there is a risk of infection.

Removal with warm wax

Warm wax must be heated before depilation in a wax melter. A wax melter is a device in which a depilatory agent is heated to the required temperature. You can do this in a water bath. But in this way it is not always possible to heat the wax mass evenly. A weakly heated composition is not able to remove hairs. Overheated wax can cause burns.

It is recommended to heat wax for depilation of skin areas in the deep bikini area only in a wax melter.

In jar wax melters, the wax is heated in jars. When the required temperature is reached (37-38°C), the wax is applied to the skin with a spatula. It is very convenient to use a spatula with a temperature indicator. This will avoid burns.

The main rule of waxing is to apply the product in the direction of hair growth. Strips are applied to the wax layer, then they are torn off with a sharp movement.

Warm wax can be applied to the depilation area in the form of a film. It heats up to a temperature of 38-39°C. No strips are needed to remove the film.

When applying the composition with a spatula, you need to take into account the direction of hair growth. Therefore, canned wax is convenient to use in the deep bikini area, where hair grows in different directions.

However, it is safer and easier to use warm wax in cartridges or cassettes. It is advisable for beginners to use this method for depilation.

Cartridges

Cartridges are containers with a roller applicator. You don't need a spatula to apply wax. Simply swipe the applicator over the area to be depilated to apply a thin layer. The applicator allows you to use the product economically.

For the deep bikini area, you need to purchase cartridges with a narrow applicator to remove hair from hard-to-reach places.

The cassettes are installed in a cartridge wax melter, heated to the desired temperature, then the wax is applied to the skin. Its layer is covered with strips and torn off with a sharp movement.

It is important that the cartridge wax melter fits the size of the cartridges perfectly. If the dimensions do not match, the cassette will not fit tightly to the wax melter. During depilation, it may fall out, spraying wax.

The product in cartridges is more difficult to apply taking into account the direction of the hair in the deep bikini area.

Hair removal with warm wax is less painful than cold wax. An epilator procedure is also possible.

Contraindications to the procedure

Despite the fact that wax hair removal is a cosmetic procedure, it has certain contraindications, which you must first familiarize yourself with.

Cosmetologists advise abandoning this technique in the presence of diseases of the genital organs and pathologies of the urinary tract. In addition, removing hair with wax is not recommended in the following cases:

diabetes;
oncological diseases;
dermatoses, psoriasis, eczema;
inflammation of the capillaries.

It is also not worth removing hairs with wax in the intimate area if there are a large number of moles or papillomas on the skin, since they can be injured. It is also recommended to avoid bikini waxing when pregnant. Despite the fact that pregnancy is not an absolute contraindication, most gynecologists still advise expectant mothers to refrain from such a procedure.

Preparation and stages of waxing

Waxing will be successful only if the woman is well prepared for it. This will require care and compliance with some rules. Among them are the following:

You need to choose the right day. The date of going to the salon or home procedure should be set for 3-4 days after the end of your period, because at this time the pain is not felt so much. If bioepilation is timed to coincide with an important event, then it must be carried out 3 days before so that the skin has time to recover.
Depilation should be carried out using a razor 5 days before the date for which waxing is scheduled. During this time, the hairs will grow by 5 mm. This length is optimal for achieving the desired result during the procedure.
Before the procedure, you need to take a shower without using detergents.

Bioepilation, that is, getting rid of unwanted hairs in the bikini area using wax, occurs in the salon as follows:

The woman sits on a special chair, spreading her legs as far apart as possible.
The master carries out disinfection treatment.
Hot wax is applied. The heating temperature reaches 40°C.
A strip of fabric is placed on the wax, after 2 minutes the master tears it off with a sharp movement.
The skin is softened with a cream that slows down hair growth.

As a result, the removed hairs along with the wax remained on a strip of fabric, and the skin after bikini waxing became smooth.

Wax selection

In order not to be disappointed with the result and achieve the expected effect, you need not only to know how to do waxing in the bikini area, but also to be able to choose the right wax itself.
For self-processing, experts advise purchasing “homemade” warm waxes. It is not worth treating with “hot” wax at home, since its operating temperature is about 60-65 degrees, which often leads to burns.
Cold wax is also suitable for home use, but is not as effective.

As for choosing a brand, it is impossible to specifically answer the question. If you are waxing the bikini area for the first time, you should not purchase expensive professional products.

The optimal solution in this case would be to choose a product intended for home use. As practice shows, for home use young ladies most often purchase wax from Floresan and White Line Natura.

Wax cartridge for bikini area

Using wax in cartridges is an effective way to quickly remove hair from large areas of the body. To carry out the procedure, depilation strips are used.

Wax in cartridges from Perron Rigot has a softening effect and is indispensable for delicate sensitive skin. This is ideal for delicate areas of the body, such as the bikini area. Thanks to the convenient applicator, the wax in the cartridges is applied evenly in a thin layer, preventing the hot wax from burning the skin.

Depilflax Brazilian wax in cartridge

This wax cartridge is an excellent product for removing hair from all areas. It is dense enough to capture and remove coarse hair, but at the same time flexible and comfortable to work with.

This wax is designed for depilation of those areas of the body where the skin is delicate and sensitive.

The product contains resin esters and highly purified beeswax. This combination ensures uniform application, thorough removal of hairs and fluff, and minimal impact on the skin.

Kapous Professional Oil-soluble wax with talc in cartridge

This wax is designed for depilation of those areas of the body where the skin is delicate and sensitive. It captures all hairs well (both hard and thin) and removes them the first time. The addition of talc reduces the adhesion directly to the skin, so after depilation, irritation and redness are not as pronounced.

Wax “Lemon” in cartridge (dense)

Dense wax with titanium dioxide and lemon extract, bright yellow. Titanium dioxide promotes better adhesion to the skin, resulting in maximum efficiency in removing even short and ingrown hairs.

Lemon extract improves the overall condition of the skin, stimulates cell regeneration processes, tightens pores, smoothes out fine wrinkles. Wax effectively removes hair, is easy and economical to apply, and is also easy to remove without leaving marks on the skin. For all skin types.

How to prepare your skin for the procedure

The most important step in waxing is preparation. Cosmetologists claim that the final result of the procedure depends approximately 50% on it. It is necessary to remember these points:

the length of hairs in the intimate area should vary from 2 to 4 mm;
It is recommended to take a hot bath before waxing. Water will not only cleanse the epidermis, but will also help open the pores, which will make hair removal less painful;
In order for the wax to better adhere to the hairs, cosmetologists advise peeling. Scrubbing will help eliminate dead cells from the surface of the epidermis.

Before you begin hair removal, you need to make sure that everything you need is at hand. To carry out the procedure, you will need fabric strips (or wax), a spatula and an antiseptic.

Important! If you cut the wax strips into narrow ribbons, the processing will be much more comfortable. Also, the severity of painful sensations directly depends on the width of the strips.

Methods of pain relief

If a girl has a low pain threshold and finds it difficult to tolerate bikini hair removal with warm wax, the use of special pain-relieving creams and sprays will help solve the problem.
At home, it is most convenient to use Lidocaine. This product is produced in the form of a spray and ointment, and begins to act within 10-15 minutes after application.
Emla ointment has also proven itself well as an anesthetic. The main active ingredient of this product is also lidocaine, but the drug has a longer duration of action and has virtually no side effects.

The only disadvantage of Emla is the high cost.

If you don’t have a special painkiller at home, you can simply take 2 tablets of Pentalgin or Analgin.

Which wax to choose for intimate depilation

Waxing the bikini area is a fairly sensitive procedure, the improper execution of which leads to severe pain during the procedure and irritation after it.

To avoid such a reaction of the epidermis, first pay attention to the choice of wax.

Most often, cosmetologists recommend using hot and film formulations to remove hair in the bikini area. They are the ones that adhere more closely to the skin, capturing the smallest and coarsest hairs and tearing them off with one movement.

In addition, both methods are quite simple to carry out, so they are suitable even for beginners. The main thing is to apply the thinnest possible layer of sticky composition, which will not only dry quickly, but will also capture all unwanted vegetation.

If we talk about specific brands, it is recommended to use rulers that are labeled “For the bikini area” or “For sensitive skin.” Thus, film wax of the Depileve brand and hot wax Yoko, Depilflax work well.

How to wax a deep bikini

Waxing the bikini area at home is not particularly difficult. To carry out the procedure correctly, you need to adhere to the following algorithm of actions:

the wax must be heated to operating temperature using a wax melter or water bath and then applied to the treated area using a special spatula (the composition is applied according to hair growth);
Next, you need to attach a fabric strip to the wax and press it properly. After 10-15 seconds, the strip must be torn off against hair growth with a sharp movement. If the actions are performed properly, the strip will come off along with the hairs;
similar actions must be performed until the skin becomes completely smooth;
After the procedure, it is necessary to disinfect the epidermis.

Typically, the bikini area has to be treated at least 2-3 times. This is due to the fact that the hairs in this area are quite thick and dense, and do not always come out the first time.

Depilation with hot wax

This type of depilation provides an advantage, since the increased temperature makes the skin less sensitive to pain, and it is less injured. No fabric strips are required. However, hot wax is contraindicated for varicose veins, since exposure to heat provokes dilation of the veins.

Hot wax has a thick consistency, it is not very sticky and almost does not spread. When it hardens on its own, it becomes like a film that is easy to remove. This mixture is called film wax.

Immediately before the procedure, the wax must be melted. For this purpose, use a wax melter or a thermostat, which can be replaced with a water bath. However, experts advise using a special device, as it is equipped with a temperature sensor that will maintain the required temperature throughout the entire procedure.

The temperature should reach 50 degrees. It is important not to overheat the wax to avoid burns.

When everything is prepared, the wax should be carefully applied in the direction of hair growth. When heated, the material lays down in a dense layer, enveloping the hairs. As soon as the wax hardens to the consistency of plasticine, it is sharply torn off. At the end of the session, you need to remove excess wax with a cloth or sponge with any oil.

It is also necessary to disinfect the skin, and then carry out soothing procedures that will help cool the skin and relieve irritation.

When using hot wax, you must follow these rules:

You cannot skimp on the material; a sufficient amount will ensure the best effect. The wax should not be overheated, but it is necessary to achieve a liquid consistency.
The layer that comes into contact with the surface of the skin must be applied in the direction of hair growth; this rule does not apply to subsequent layers.
The wax layer must be dense so that it does not tear later.

Reviews about the procedure

Judging by the reviews, wax hair removal is an excellent alternative to salon procedures. If you get used to doing the treatment correctly, the results will be impressive and your skin will remain smooth for about 15 days.

The girls also claim that comfort during the session and the final result largely depend on the wax used.

The most popular and sought-after product for home hair removal is Floresan “Deep Depil” wax.

Hair removal with wax: painful or not?

Our specialists do everything to ensure that the procedure is painless and with the least irritation. It all depends on the sensitivity of the skin and the individual pain threshold, but hair extraction from the hair follicle cannot be completely painless. It is advisable not to epilate during menstruation; during this period the skin is most sensitive. Optimal time: 4-5 days of the cycle. If you know that you are hypersensitive, take a pain reliever an hour and a half before the procedure. During the session, breathe deeply and evenly, exhaling through your nose as you remove wax from the skin.

Skin care after depilation

The skin after depilation requires special care; excess wax on the skin is removed with any oil. The wax package contains wipes designed to remove any remaining sticky wax. The treated skin is disinfected with pharmaceutical hydrogen peroxide. Also, inflamed skin after depilation needs to be soothed; this can be done by locally applying Bepanten ointment, baby cream, and various anti-burn medications. After the procedure, it is best to wear underwear made from fabrics that are pleasant to the body. If there is a predisposition to the appearance of ingrown hairs, after 4 days the susceptible bikini area is treated with a soft scrub. You can also use compounds that slow down hair growth.

Contraindications

Deep bikini waxing

The caring procedure is not suitable for everyone who decides to get rid of excess hair in the bikini area in this way. Experts say that the procedure is contraindicated in the following cases:

The presence of genital herpes;
Fungal skin infections;
Papillomas in the perineal area;
Fresh sun tan;
Short hairs;
Increased body temperature;
Critical days.

Note! The procedure is also contraindicated in pathological conditions such as diabetes, epilepsy, poor blood clotting, and diagnosed cancer. Pregnancy and lactation are not contraindications to the procedure.

Types of procedures performed in salons

You can do intimate depilation both in the salon and at home. Cosmetologists working in salons offer various hair removal options.

Bikini depilation methods:

permanent methods (such as laser hair removal, photoepilation, electrolysis);
temporary methods (sugaring, waxing).

Most clients do not distinguish between the terms “depilation” and “epilation”, considering them synonyms. But in fact, they describe fundamentally different methods of hair removal.

While depilation does not imply any impact on the hair follicle. This effect is long-lasting, but still temporary. Because the follicle is not destroyed, and the hair begins to grow again after 1.5-3 weeks. Often, failure to follow the bikini depilation technique can worsen the problem of ingrown hairs.

Types of bikini depilation that are carried out in salons:

Classic. Involves hair removal only along the line of underwear, without affecting the intimate area;
Deep. With this type of depilation, hair is removed along the line of the underwear and on the pubic area. Only a narrow strip of hair is left, without depilation of the genitals.
Total depilation of the intimate area involves the removal of unwanted hair in the genital area and around the anus.

Hair removal procedures using epilation act directly on the follicle, destroying it. Such exposure to current, pulsed light or laser gives long-lasting results. And if you complete the full course, you can get rid of hair completely. However, these procedures are quite expensive, and post-procedure care guidelines must be followed to avoid unwanted side effects (such as scarring or age spots).
