The Difference Between Bikini, Brazilian, French & Hollywood Wax?

So you are that particular when it comes to grooming your intimate area. And you are tired of all the shaving that you opt to go for waxing instead. 

But you then found out that there are actually a number of names thrown out there, so which one should you choose?

Let me list to you the different waxing styles and it's differences so that you will know what to choose when you visit waxing clinic or parlour in Manila.

Bikini Wax

When we talk of waxing, the very first thing that comes to mind is a Bikini wax. Thanks to the name dropping Carrie did in an episode of Sex and the City, a lot of ladies are also going for it despite the fact that it is considerably painful.

This procedure doesn't really leave you bare down there because it is only the pubic hairs found on the exposed skin along the edges of the bikini line are removed.

It is done by applying warm wax or honey to the area which is then covered by a strip of cloth. Once the wax has hardened after a couple of seconds the cloth is quickly removed taking the pubic hairs off.

A bikini wax is a perfect way of trimming those untoward pubic hairs that embarrassingly peeks through your swimsuit. But at the same time, it also keeps a few hairs in place.

Extended Bikini Wax

This is another style of waxing which is quite similar to a Brazilian but it doesn't include the hairs at the back. Since techniques like these involve the removal of hairs in very delicate and sensitive areas, it is important that you get it done by a professional.

Brazilian Wax

If you want extensive coverage with waxing you can go for a Brazilian. This takes more courage and control because the process can be rather painful, but results are divine!

What makes it different from a Bikini wax is that it removes all the pubic hairs at the front, in between and from behind. But one thing that would characterize a Brazilian wax from other styles is the landing strip that is left at the center of the mons pubis.

So if you want to feel more confident sporting your skimpiest bikini this summer, a Brazilian would be the perfect choice.

Example of salon in Manila that do brazilian waxing is Pink Parlour. 

Hollywood Wax

You might get confused with the different terms. But in reality they only differ in very small ways. Just like a Brazilian wax, a Hollywood wax also removes all the pubic hairs at the front, middle and the back. A wax treatment is considered a Hollywood if you opt not to have any landing strip left, which is consistent to a wax. So in this method, you go totally bald which can be refreshing!

So now you get the difference between these four common waxing styles. But communicate with your aesthetician before the treatment to know that she gets what you want exactly.

You can also extend your creativity by beautifying your pubic region with trends such as “Vajjazling”. This is when you have temporary crystal tattoos placed in certain designs that you like. “Vatooing” can also be done where you can have your pubic area temporarily inked with sexy and other creative designs.
