Many women remove some or all of their vaginal hair to groom their pubic region.There are many options to remain safe if you choose to prevent ingrown hairs, for example.If you want to remove vaginal hair at home, try shaving, using hair removal creams, or using cold wax.If you want a professional to help, get a hot wax or invest in laser hair removal.
Step 1: Determine what area you want to shave.
You don't have to remove all of your hair.You can either shave the bikini line or remove all of your hair if you want to.Pick and choose how much shaving feels right for you, for example, you might not want to shave the labia or the hair around the anus.Do what feels right for you.You can make designs like a triangle or square of hair.
Step 2: You should trim your hair.
You could cut yourself if you get too close to the skin.If you think you are getting too close to the skin, use a hand mirror and stop cutting.The goal is to trim the hair down if it is long, not to cut it all the way to the roots.
Step 3: Before shaving, take a warm shower or bath.
Warm water can help calm your skin and relax your hair.
Step 4: Before shaving, gently remove dead skin cells to prevent ingrown hairs.
It's a good idea to choose a mild chemical exfoliator.Rub the product with circular motions for 30 seconds.It is a good idea to rinse with warm water.If you have open cuts or are sunburned, never shave.
Step 5: Use shaving cream or gel.
Don't get shaving cream into your vagina.When necessary, apply cream to the outside of the labia.You can see where the hairs are with a clear shaving cream or gel.It is possible to use conditioner in a pinch, but it is not a good idea because it lacks the hydrating qualities of shaving creams.Do not use soap as a substitute for shaving cream.
Step 6: Don't use a dull razor.
Before you shave your vaginal hair, make sure you have a new razor head.The larger the razor, the more unwieldy it might be.For added convenience, consider using a razor with a built-in strip.The shaving session can be made easier with this.
Step 7: Pull the skin with one hand.
Your vagina doesn't offer many smooth, flat surfaces so shaving genital hair is hard.If you want to create these flat surfaces, gently pull the skin back until it is flat with your non-dominant hand.
Step 8: You should shave in the direction of hair growth.
Ingrown hairs can be prevented by shaving in the direction of hair growth.Don't rush and shave slowly and evenly.It's a good idea to rinse your razor to get rid of trapped hair.
Step 9: When done, wash your skin.
Remove hair and shaving cream from the area.Don't worry, if you accidentally cut yourself while shaving, remove the blood as well.A small nick is okay.If you cut yourself, seek medical attention.
Step 10: You can apply baby oil to soothe your skin.
It is better for sensitive skin to use baby oil.The area is covered in a thin layer.As needed, apply again.These can sting terribly, so don't use them.
Step 11: Before you apply, trim your hair.
Make sure you don't cut yourself with the scissors.Don't cut the hair if you think the scissors are close to your skin.
Step 12: Use a small amount of cream on your arm.
It is always a good idea to apply the cream to a small, non-sensitive area before using it.To test if the cream causes a negative reaction, use your arm or thigh.If that happens, don't use it on your vaginal hair.Wait 24 hours after the test to apply the cream.
Step 13: Do not apply the cream to sensitive areas.
It is safe to use the cream on your vaginal hair if it did not cause a negative reaction.Make sure the cream doesn't get into your vagina.Stay away from your labia if you use the cream to remove hairs from the exterior of your vagina.
Step 14: The package has a thin layer of cream on it.
Taking care to avoid any build up areas, apply the cream evenly.Follow the instructions on the package and wash your hands after use.Don't apply the cream to sensitive areas.It's best to stick to the bikini line.If there is any cream in your labia, rinse it off.
Step 15: Wait for the recommended amount.
Depending on what hair removal cream you use, there are different waiting times.Once the appropriate amount of time has passed, set an alarm and prepare to remove the hair removal cream.The hair removal cream should be removed after 10 minutes.The hair removal cream should be left on for a few minutes.
Step 16: It is a good idea to rinse in the shower.
Remove all of the hair removal cream from the shower.To remove the cream, use a towel or washcloth.The cream should cause your hairs to fall off.Wait 24 hours and try again if they don't.
Step 17: You can buy an at- home waxing kit.
You can buy a waxing kit at a pharmacy.You can get a one-time waxing kit or a package with multiple waxing sets.Make sure you buy the waxing kit for vaginal hair because different types of waxing kits are tailored to different areas of the body.$5-$15 per kit is the range for one-time at- home waxing.
Step 18: If you want your hairs to be.25 inches long, you have to trim them.
If your hair is too long, it might be hard to pull it off, or you might feel pain pulling hairs in different directions.You might not be able to wax successfully if your hair is too short.You don't need to trim the hair.Do you want a bikini line wax or a full wax?
Step 19: Exfoliant before waxing to prevent ingrown hairs and reduce pain.
There is a layer of dead skin cells at the top of your skin.
Step 20: Warm the cold wax strips between your hands.
Warm the wax strips with your body heat by rubbing your hands over them.They will be able to stick better to your hair.Your body heat is enough to get them hot, so don't heat them up in a microwave or hot water.
Step 21: Baby powder can be applied to your skin.
The wax strip will go on smoothly if you have baby powder on your skin.
Step 22: The skin should be pulled taut.
This is important for wax since you will be pulling against the skin.To stretch the skin, use your nondominant hand.You should not feel any pain.If it feels very painful, ease up.
Step 23: Press down on the waxing strip when it is in the direction of hair growth.
The waxing strip needs to be firmly pressed onto your skin.Rub it in to make sure the edges are in place.
Step 24: Pull quickly.
Pulling the strip off slowly will only lead to an inefficient waxing experience, and you will have to try again.Pulling slowly can make waxing more painful.Imagine pulling off a bandaid at the same time.As you pull to distract yourself from the pain, try breathing deeply right.
Step 25: Soothe skin with baby oil.
If you have sensitive skin, a cold wax session can be very soothing.Apply a thin layer.This can be very painful and dry out your skin.
Step 26: Don't shave for three weeks.
Don't shave for three weeks so your hair can grow out if you shave regularly.If you've never removed your vaginal hair, it's time to trim it.The ideal length of hair is.25 inches.
Step 27: Decide what type of wax you want.
The bikini removes hair from the top and sides of your vagina, while the Brazilian removes everything.Pick the wax that is right for you, and decide how much hair you want to remove.The Brazilian can be painful if you are a beginner.First, get a few bikini waxes done.
Step 28: You can find a salon.
There are nail and spa shops in your area.If you call all of the nail salons in your area, you can ask if any of them do waxing.Ask about their practices, how they make sure everything is sterile and clean, and how much wax will cost.A waxing session can range from $35-$80 depending on where you live.
Step 29: Before your session, take a drug.
Waxing is not a pain-free process.Prepare for your session by taking one regular dose of your preferred painkiller.If you have a low pain tolerance, you should bring another drug after the session.Do not take more than one standard dose.
Step 30: Don't worry about awkwardness during your session.
You don't have to worry about being naked from the waist down in front of a stranger if you get a professional waxing.The waxing technician is a professional.If you still feel uncomfortable after a few sessions, listen to music or an audiobook.This can help you stay focused on the situation.If your waxing technician makes you feel uncomfortable or does something inappropriate, leave the session and report them to a manager or the police.
Step 31: As the waxing strip is pulled, exhale.
Waxing will probably cause you some pain.It will only make the experience worse if you clench your teeth against it.Don't focus on breathing when the strip is being pulled.It's said that waxing after your period will help with the pain.
Step 32: Wear comfortable underwear and a skirt.
After your waxing session, your skin will be sensitive.Prepare by wearing comfortable cotton underwear and a skirt.Don't wear tight pants or underwear for a day after waxing.
Step 33: Leave your skin a week after your session.
One week after your session, gently scrub your vaginal area with a loofah to keep it smooth.
Step 34: If you have light hair or dark skin, don't plan on using laser hair removal.
Light skin and dark hair are the best places for laser hair removal.The laser won't be able to find hair follicles if your hair is too light.If your skin is too dark, the laser could hurt or even burn you.It's important to confirm that your local laser hair removal location has the new Nd:YAG laser because it works better with darker skin types.
Step 35: There is a budget for laser hair removal.
If you want a bikini or Brazilian laser hair removal, the average price will be higher.The average price of a bikini laser hair removal session in the US is $150, but it can be as high as $450.The average price of a Brazilian laser hair removal session in the US is $250, but it can be as high as $500.
Step 36: Wax for at least 4 weeks before laser hair removal.
Laser hair removal requires hair to be intact and inside your skin.You should refrain from waxing for at least one month prior to your laser hair removal.
Step 37: Don't use cream before your treatment.
To get the most out of your laser hair removal experience, you need to shave your vaginal hair the night before.The chemicals in hair removal creams can cause irritation or pain, so don't use them.
Step 38: Let go of feelings that are awkward.
Don't worry, you will be fine if you are naked in front of another person.The laser hair removal technician is a professional.If you have to distract yourself from awkwardness, focus on the sound the laser is making.As soon as you can, end the session and report the laser hair removal technician to a manager or the police.
Step 39: Tell your technician if you are in pain.
Laser hair removal feels slightly uncomfortable.Ask your technician to turn down the intensity if you feel pain or heat.Don't worry about not getting your money's worth, if you feel like it.
Step 40: When your hair falls out, don't be surprised.
Laser hair removal is not immediately visible.It takes about 2 weeks before the removal starts showing effects, and until that point, your hair will be growing normally.Your hair will fall out after a few weeks.It is ok to shave at this point.
Step 41: Prepare for many treatments.
Laser hair removal can take anywhere from 1 to 10 treatments.The average length of a treatment is 6 treatments.Don't wax or trim your hair between sessions.It's okay with shaving.
