Did this article help you?Do you trim before a Brazilian wax?Simply, trim down your hair beforehand if it's slightly long to make the waxing experience more comfortable. Your therapist will take care of the rest. Also, remember that with regular waxing your hair will soon begin to feel thinner and sparser unlike shaving, which can leave the hair feeling stubbly, thick and itchy.
How much should I trim before a Brazilian?A good rule of thumb: A quarter of an inch, or the length of an eyelash is ideal. Don't shave for about two weeks before going to your first Brazilian wax! Even if it feels too long, your esthetician will definitely be willing to trim your hairs for you if that's necessary.
Can hair be too long for waxing?Definitely. If your hair is longer than 1/2-inch long, it might be too long to wax. Before your appointment, you can lightly trim the hair with a pair of clean hair cutting shears. If you don't have shears, you might want to leave it up to your technician to trim before your appointment.
What should you not do before a Brazilian wax?Avoid gels, lotions and oils before your wax as it may interfere with hair removal. Avoid tanning 24 hours before your wax. Scan your skin before to ensure it is free from cuts, scrapes, moles and skin tags.
