Everything you want to know about Waxing

While the most common waxing application is still for eyebrows and the upper lip, the "Brazilian" gets lots of attention thanks to Sex in The City and some unfortunate photos of Britney Spears.

If you have been thinking about a Brazilian but are not sure it's for you, here's some things to think about.

'Avoid showering and making the hair wet prior to waxing. Hair absorbs the water making it soft and less likely to adhere well to the wax. Tough hair is easier to pull off.

Be sure to test a small area of skin first to make sure there is no acute sensitivity or allergic reaction to pubic hair removal using waxing.

Hair should be at least 1/8 inch long. If it isn't wait until it reaches this length.

Be sure to wash the skin thoroughly and dry it well beforehand to remove any lotions or oils which may prevent the wax from adhering closely to the skin."

From Wikipedia

Waxing of the genital areas has been prevalent in many societies around the world for centuries,[citation needed] in Ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt but especially in arid or desert, predominantly Muslim and Arab countries.

Arab, Turkish, and Persian women as well as women from the Albanian culture and Mediterranean regions have for centuries been waxing in the genital areas. The waxes used were often sugar-based and made with lemon; however present variations include oils and scents to lessen the discomfort. The reasons for genital waxing in these regions have not necessarily been for cosmetic reasons throughout history, as it is in the case of North and South America as well as Europe, but instead these cultures mentioned above have generally practiced waxing for centuries more for reasons of personal hygiene and/or religion.
As a result, in many of these cultures, body hair of any sort on women is considered socially unacceptable. However, waxing the genital area completely is relatively new to modern Western cultures, developing mostly in the 20th century. In the United States, for example, the habit of waxing or even shaving the pubic area did not become common place until the 1990s.
