Things You'll Need:
- Loofah
- Pain medication
- Powder
-
Step 1
Refrain from shaving the bikini area for at least 10 days before you prepare for your waxing appointment. The stubble from shaving is difficult to remove during waxing, which may result in a disappointing outcome.
-
Step 2
Cut the hair to be waxed to about 1/4 inch with clippers or scissors before the treatment. This allows for easier removal and less pain during the bikini waxing.
-
Step 3
Exfoliate the bikini area with a loofah the day before your treatment. If done gently, this will help prevent or dislodge ingrown hairs, as well as remove dead skin.
-
Step 4
Bathe or shower the day of your treatment (preferably directly before). Good hygiene is a must for this most delicate of procedures.
-
Step 5
Use a small amount of powder (baby or talcum) on the area to be waxed in order to absorb moisture or oil. Having slick or oily skin can prevent the wax from adhering.
-
Step 6
Locate a salon that is clean and professionally run to get your bikini wax. If you haven't already received recommendations, you can use a website like Local.com to find salons in your area (see Resources below). You can read user reviews of establishments in your area to find highly rated one that offers bikini waxing.
