Things To Know Before Getting Bikini Wax For The First Time

1. Wear Breathable Underwear

Opt for breathable cotton underwear and loose-fitting pants to avoid any sweat or oils getting trapped in your open pores after waxing. This is because waxing causes your pores to open making the skin more sensitive than usual. Wearing tight pants may also result in rashes after waxing.

2. Cut Down On Alcohol And Caffeine Before The Appointment

On the day of your bikini wax appointment, avoid drinking alcohol, and caffeine. These beverages can restrict pores, making waxing more painful.

3. Make Sure Your Hair Is At Least ¼-Inch Long

Make sure your hair is at least 1/4 inch long before getting it waxed. If it is longer, you should shorten it a little bit to help the wax adhere more effectively.

The session might not be as effective if your hair is too short because it won't be able to properly remove the hair from the follicle.

4. Avoid Waxing Near Your Periods

As your skin is more delicate before and during your periods, it is advised to avoid making an appointment at this time to prevent extra pain and discomfort.

5. Take Painkiller Before Appointment

Bikini waxing can be painful. To lessen the pain, it is advised to take a painkiller 30 to 45 minutes before the appointment.

6. Don’t Use Moisturiser Before Waxing

Before waxing, using a moisturiser can make the hair more difficult to grab onto. It is therefore advisable to avoid using moisture for several hours before your waxing appointment.
