Do not go for any cheap waxing cream that will cause irritation and sensitivity around the bikini line. You must speak to the shop keeper and ensure that it is made for the bikini area. It is preferable to purchase the hard wax as it will be able to pick up the hair that is coarse enough. As we all know that the hair that grows around our bikini line are coarse enough. Thus, using the hard wax will be preferable. There are other instruments within the kit such as baby oil, moisturizer for sensitive skin, bikini trimming razor etc. In some bikini waxing kits you can also get Popsicle sticks which can substitute the baby oil.

You must also have the hair of around 5-8 mm with the help of a tool named razor available in the waxing kit.

Place of waxing

Since the waxing place is not to be exposed, you need to have a place where waxing can be done without any interruption and also with privacy. You must make a choice of a room where there is a bin as well as bed. You should even get a towel over the bed where the process of bikini waxing will be carried on without getting everything messy. You must have enough comfort so that the entire waxing procedure can be carried on easily.

Heat the wax

When you are bringing in the cold and hard wax from the market, it is equally important to get it heated so that it can be soft and liquefied.

Create a position

You must lie on the bed adequately with the feet placed flat on the floor. Creation of position can be done by bending across the knees and placing the legs apart. If the hair is formed between your legs, just place your legs towards the ceiling with the feet facing the top. Then you can place your hip against the wall and carry on with the process of waxing.

Wax application

Some people have sensitive skin and thus application of baby oil must be done for them. Again, applying moisturizer will be for all those who wish to get the area moisturized but not have any problem of sensitive skin tone. There is a tendency of creating redness and rashes once the waxing is done over the skin. Thus application of baby oil and moisturizer will be a wonderful solution.
