To make things easier, you should always allow about 7-10 days worth of hair growth. Specifically, if you're waxing the bikini area, the hair should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch long. The coarser your hair, the longer it should be in order that the wax can grab the hair better. Preferably, the technician will use a hard wax (no strip needed) which is usually less painful in the bikini area. Get recommendations from family or friends when you're looking for a waxer. Waxing is something most people feel is very personal, so you should feel comfortable and confident with your choice. Be consistent on how often you get waxed, and depending on how quickly your hair grows, you should get waxed every two to four weeks. Since the hair becomes finer from repetitive waxing, ingrown hairs can be a problem if you don't manage it quickly. Exfoliate the area regularly and moisturize to keep dry skin from trapping hair. If you do notice any ingrown hair, there are a few products in the market to help relieve the redness and irritation and allow the hair to be released.
Once you enter the world of waxing, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. There is nothing like showering without worrying about shaving every crevice on your body.
