Waxing is a temporary method of hair removal which removes the hair from the root. New hairs will not grow back in the previously waxed area for three to eight weeks, varying from person to person. Waxing is accomplished by spreading wax thinly over the area to be treated. A strip is then pressed on the top and removed with a quick movement against the direction of hair growth. This removes the wax along with the hair and dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth. This is then followed by an application of a soothing T-tree lotion to help calm to calm the skin. Stay smooth & hair-free for 3-6 weeks for an effective result, hairs should be at least 1 cm in length

Benefits of waxing
Hairs take longer to grow back.
Area stays smoother for longer.
No itching or stubble feeling as the hairs are growing back.
Waxed hair becomes finer and sparser over time. Waxing pulls hair out at the root, shaving shears hair in the middle at its thickest point, so it grows back thicker.
Waxing removes entire hair follicle. If kept up consistently year round, repeated waxing may result in weakened hair follicles, so that many unwanted hairs no longer grow back.

Waxing Before and After care
Although we can not predict or guarantee who may react, most clients do not experience reactions beyond redness and minor irritation. Hair may break at the root during waxing, if hair is thin or weak, causing some hairs to grow out faster. Please follow these guidelines to minimize irritation and possible break outs.
1. Avoid the sun immediately after waxing and wear sun screen; recently waxed areas are prone to hyperpigmentation (permanent darkening of the skin) if exposed to the sun or solarium. Avoid saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools and other heated sources for at least 48 hours.
2. Avoid heavy exercise for at least 24 hours after waxing.
3. Do not use exfoliating products (AHAs, scrubs, etc) and loofas for at least 24 hours after waxing as they might further irritate your skin.
4. Avoid tight clothing after waxing, especially in the waxed areas. Tight clothing may result in irritation and ingrown hairs.
5. Regular twice to three times per week exfoliation is helpful to remove dead skin so your hairs can get out above the surface of the pores and not become ingrown.
6. No hot baths, hot showers or sexual activity for 10 hours after a Brazilian. While your pores are open, they are vulnerable to irritation by the extreme temperatures and infection by bacteria.
7. Moisturise with a tee tree or lavender lotion after every shower, this has a soothing healing, &p; antibacterial effect. If using an ingrown solution, use this alone until the in grown and redness is minimised, then return to the lotion for maintaining your bikini area.
8. Routine waxing helps the skin get accustomed to the procedure and may minimize irritation.
