I’m getting my first Brazilian in a few weeks and have done some research. What are your best tips and advice? Are there things you wish you knew beforehand, the best after-care practices, and how long to wait between sessions? I’m in my pretty-girl era and trying to branch out into better skin, nail, and hair care. Thanks in advance!
Here are my top three tips: Take Tylenol 30 minutes before your appointment, avoid swimming, baths, or heavy sweating for about 24 hours afterward, and consider using a post-wax serum. Good luck!
I completely agree! Personally, I prefer ibuprofen for inflammation, but that’s just my preference.
Thank you! Any suggestions on a serum?
Wear loose, natural fiber pants or a skirt for the first 24 hours after your Brazilian. Avoid sex or anything that causes friction, like riding a motorcycle, during this time. I ignored this advice after my first Brazilian and definitely suffered the consequences.
I’ve been getting Brazilians consistently for 1.5 years now. I used to get ingrowns, but Truly’s Cooka Oil has been a lifesaver—it completely reduced them. I went on a week-long vacation without the oil and ended up with an ingrown, which proves to me that it really works. Also, make sure to find a gentle exfoliator!
The time between sessions varies for each person, depending on factors like hair type, personal habits, and hair growth rate. Just make sure to keep the area clean, and avoid sex, swimming, and sun exposure for 48 hours after your wax.
