Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Bikini Wax

One of the main insecurities of women when going for a bikini wax is being too hairy. If that's the case, relax: It's normal and nobody's judging you. Plus, it's recommended to go to the salon when your hair is at least a quarter of an inch long.

Oh and don't even think about shaving before going. Aside from defeating the purpose of waxing, your skin will become extra sensitive to the wax, which will increase your risk for irritation and inflammation.
