The day of your appointment, your hair should be at least a ¼ inch long (the length of a rice grain). This allows the wax to grip around the hair.

Shaving. Generally considered to be the least painful method of hair removal, it involves using a small blade to cut the hair off at the level of the skin. The downside of shaving is that it often needs to be done daily because the hair grows back quickly.

Does a Brazilian Wax Hurt? Brazilian waxes will hurt. Any type of waxing will hurt because your hair will get pulled out by its roots, but it won’t be so bad that tears will stream down your face. You’ll definitely be able to walk afterwards.

Waxing is a great option for those who absolutely need to be smooth and don’t like the painfully fast turnaround that comes with shaving. The pain is tolerable and temporary and the results are incomparable to anything that can be achieved even immediately after the use of a razor.

Hair needs to be about ¼-inch long for the wax to effectively grab onto. If it’s shorter, it may or may not be successfully removed. Depending on what type of wax the professional uses and how skilled they are, you might even be turned away if your hair isn’t long enough.

As mentioned before, pre wax products will soften the skin before hair removal and a quality wax will pull the hair right out leaving no stubble.

So while the hair that was just beginning the andogen phase after you get waxed, will be the 1/4 inch needed to get a Brazilian after two weeks, much of your hair will still be resting. Since the dormant period is about 3 months, you can expect about half of your pubic hair to be growing again in 6 weeks.

❔ Does waxing hurt less the second time? Emphatically, yes! If you don’t wait too long, the second time around the hairs will be shorter, thinner and sparser because they’re not fully mature. This makes removal a little less painful, although it still hurts.
