If you’re new to bikini area hair removal, you’re probably wondering where to get started. Well, that’s what we’re here for: To make the whole process as smooth as possible!

First Step…

Before you even decide which method of bikini area hair removal you want to go with, the first thing you want to do is break out the scissors and/or electric clippers. It’s difficult to shave or wax hairy pubes, so you want to get your pubic hair down to a manageable length and volume.

The ideal length for any sort of hair removal is about one quarter of an inch. This makes it easy to shave, and even easier to wax.

Second Step…

The second step to bikini hair removal is to decide which method you want to use. Wax? Razor? Laser? Electrolysis?

Here’s what you need to know to make an informed decision…

Waxing– It does sting, but it gets you a smoother look than shaving, and it lasts longer… It’s also trickier. It’s best if you have yourself waxed at a professional salon or hair removal clinic, because it’s kind of difficult to pull off on your own.

Bikini Shaving– The easiest and cheapest method of hair removal, and it’s completely painless. However, there’s sort of a trick to it. You need to shave with the grain, not against, and you should shave daily, but skip the first day after your first shave, or you’ll irritate the skin and get those icky red bumps.

Laser hair removal– Laser hair removal is permanent, so don’t try it as your first option. Turn to laser hair removal after you’ve been shaving for awhile and would rather just do away with the whole thing altogether.

Electrolysis– Also permanent, and not really a good idea unless your pubic hair is blonde (blondies don’t always take well to laser removal). It has a higher risk of scarring and other damages than any other hair removal method.
