10 Things You’ve Always Wanted to Know About Bikini Waxing (But Were Too Embarrassed to Ask)
10 Things You’ve Always Wanted to Know About Bikini Waxing (But Were Too Embarrassed to Ask)

1. I’ve never been waxed before, and I’ve heard that people get ingrown hairs from it. Will this happen to me? Bikini Waxing

Ingrown hair is most common among people with curly pubic hair and sensitive or reactive skin, like redheads or African-Americans. Those with olive skin are not quite as susceptible. Asians usually have softer hair and the least reactive skin. They also seem to get the longest-lasting results.

2. Is waxing better than shaving? Will it grow back as fast as when I shave?

Yes, I am definitely a true believer and longtime lover of waxing over shaving—and not just because it’s been my career path. The main reason is that shaving simply cuts the hair off the top of the skin, which then sees the hair growing back in approximately one to three days. Razors, as sharp as they are, also irritate the skin, resulting in razor bumps along the bikini line. Waxing, on the other hand, removes the hair from the follicle. Hair produced from that follicle either weakens, dies after the first time or does nothing at all to the hair structure. From my experience, I see an average of 30% to 40% less hair returning just after the first time.

3. What about sugaring?

Sugaring is a method used for many years that originates in Egypt and the Middle East. It’s a very sticky substance made of sugar, lemon and honey. Once rolled on a body part, the hair gets tangled and pulled from the skin. I tend to see a lot of hair breaking before getting pulled out from the root, which is why, in my opinion, hard wax is better than sugaring.
