Article: If you regularly shave, and are  transitioning into professional waxing, don’t shave for three weeks so your hair can grow out. If you have never removed your vaginal hair, consider trimming it. The ideal length of hair for waxing is about .25 inches (0.64 cm). There are two types of waxes: the bikini (which removes hair from the top and sides of your vagina) and the Brazilian (which removes everything). Decide how much hair you want to remove, and choose the wax that’s right for you. If you’re a beginner, don’t start with the Brazilian, as it can be painful. Instead, ease your way in by getting a few bikini waxes done first. Look for nail and spa salons in your area. One easy way to find places that wax is to call all of the nail salons in your area and ask if any of them do waxing. Ask about their practice, how they ensure that everything is sterile and clean, and how much the wax will cost. Depending on where you live, a professional waxing session can range from $35-$80. Waxing is not a pain-free process, though it is a manageable one. Take one regular dose of your preferred painkiller to prepare for your session. If you have a low pain tolerance, bring another painkiller for after the session. Do not take more than one standard dose before your wax. If it’s your first time getting professionally waxed, you might be uncomfortable or even nervous about being naked from the waist down in front of a stranger -- but you have nothing to worry about! Your waxing technician is a professional.  If you still feel uncomfortable after a few sessions, try listening to music or an audiobook while you get waxed. This can help keep your mind off the situation. If your waxing technician ever makes you feel uncomfortable or does something inappropriate, leave the session as soon as you can and report them to a manager or the police. While nowhere near unmanageable, waxing will probably cause you some pain. Try not to clench your teeth or muscles against it, because that’ll only make the experience worse. Instead, focus on breathing deeply and exhale right as the strip is being pulled. Getting waxed right after your period is said to help with the pain! You’re going to be tender and your skin will be sensitive after your waxing session. Prepare for that tenderness by wearing comfortable cotton underwear and a skirt or other comfortable pants. Avoid wearing tight pants or underwear for at least a day after shaving. To keep your vaginal area smooth and prevent irritation or ingrown hair, exfoliate gently one week after your session with a loofah.

What is a summary?
Don’t shave for three weeks before waxing. Decide what type of wax you want. Find a salon you trust. Take a painkiller or anti-inflammatory drug before your session. Don’t worry about feeling awkward during your session. Exhale as the waxing strip is pulled. Wear comfortable underwear and a skirt or loose-flowing pants. Exfoliate a week after your session.
