completely bizarre and tmi question about bikini waxing
if you usually shave and want to get a bikini wax, how much "regrowth" time should you allow between your last shave and your waxing appt.?
you are brave if you opened this and I thank you.  
I just don't want to worry about a razor for the month of August!

Re: completely bizarre and tmi question about bikini waxing
I think they usually need 1/4" of hair, so it depends on how fast your hair grows.
I know my hair seems to grow faster when I shave as opposed to waxing. I could go probably a week or two after shaving, but with waxing I would probably need at least 4 weeks.

Yeah, they sell these advanced technological devices called rulers.
Dude, just look down at your crotch. Do you have "stubble" or hair!?!

Re: completely bizarre and tmi question about bikini waxing
I beleive 1/4 of an inch is about right.
Good luck waiting for it to grow out. I've NEVER been able to go a full week - I've tried.  It just grosses me out. I just got the chills thinking about it. 
Only my hubby and my gyno have been up close and personal to know the difference either way.

C'mon, it can't be that bad. Maybe you can start a new trend and bring the bush back in style!!!

Re: completely bizarre and tmi question about bikini waxing
i ALWAYS USED TO SHAVE BUT THEN DECIDED IN THE BEGINNING OF THE SUMMER THAT I WAS GOING TO TRY THE BIG BIKINI WAX. !!!! I LET IT GOW OUT QUITE A BIT BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T AND GO, YOU GO THROUGH THE " PAIN" FRO NOTHING.. IT WON'T PULL UP THE HAIR THE WAY IT SHOULD. I WOULD LET IT GROW ATLEAST A LITTLE BIT. NOW I THINK I'VE WAXED TWICE ALL SUMMER SINCE THE FIRST TIME.. BEST THING I EVER DID.... ( I'M A BEACH PERSON THOUGH SO I'M ALWAYS IN MY BATHING SUIT =))

Re: completely bizarre and tmi question about bikini waxing
Are we talking about a reg bikini wax, a brazilian, or a french?
it needs to be the perfect length, if it's to short or to long it'll hurt more. 4 weeks growth after a wax sounds about right....

I know, they always scold me too.. they can tell when you've used a razor.
Just wondering though.. is there enough growth at 4 weeks. Because now it's been almost 3 weeks & it just starting to grow in unevenly.. so I was going to wait 6 weeks

I love you and your spider lily flower Linda.
it definitely HURT and she was commenting on how strongly rooted my hairs was but I really want to get out of the shaving thing.
I must say what I thought would be most painful was actually the LEAST...the er um backside. after my "petals" it was a breeze

My place has it backwards I believe.. a french in their terms is bald. a brazilian is "a landing strip". I was under the impression it was the other way around.. Brazilian = bald, French = landing strip

Re: completely bizarre and tmi question about bikini waxing
I was right, my place is wrong..lol A la Wikipedia...
American waxing refers to a removal of hair exposed at the top of the thighs and just under the navel when wearing a regular bikini bottom. It is also known as a basic bikini wax.
French waxing leaves a vertical strip in front (a landing strip), two to three fingers in width just above the vulva. It is also known as a partial Brazilian wax.Hair of the peri-anal area and labia may be removed. Removal of hair from these areas are also known as the Playboy wax or G-waxing. A soft wax used by sculptors to create models for casting in bronze is also known as French wax.
Brazilian waxing refers to a removal of almost everything, front to back except for a thin strip of hair on the pubis. An extreme form of bikini waxing, it involves a complete removal of hair from the buttocks and adjacent to the anus, perineum and vulva (labia majora and mons pubis). Waxes that completely remove the pubic hair are known as a full Brazilian wax, full Bikini wax, Hollywood wax or the Sphinx.While mainly associated with females, genital waxing also has a male clientèle.
