Materials

• Brazilian waxing techniques work better with the use of the proper materials: Hard wax, not strip wax, is necessary when it comes to a this type of wax job, according to Helen Bickmore in her book "Milady's Hair Removal Techniques: A Comprehensive Manual." Hard wax can tightly grip onto the hair and not the skin. Other suggestions are muslin fabric strips that have reinforced edges, which are less likely to fray during the waxing process and leave remnant wax. Also, aestheticians tend to as clients to use special disposable underwear, as the maneuverable panties are easier to slide around when waxing designated areas.
  
  

Proper Sectioning

• Both novice and experienced beauty professionals are urged to designate small sections at a time when performing a Brazilian wax job, rather than targeting larger areas. Unlike waxing the legs, which can use larger 4- to 6-inch strips, Bickmore recommends the use of a 2-inch strip to help provide more control when waxing the groin area. These more tailored pieces of muslin can be ripped off quicker, allowing the extraction process to be faster, which can result in less pain and lingering irritation.
  
  

Flatten Areas

• Applying the wax to a flat, level area rather than around curves can help the muslin to be ripped off quicker and reduce bruising, as recommended by Lorraine Nordmann Scott in her book "Professional Beauty Therapy." For curved areas, such as the inner groin area, pull the loose skin back gently to a flatter surface area. For example, the skin from the inner groin can be slightly rotated outward until the skin that once lay in the curved section is laying flat across the flatter hip bone area. Moreover, this tender skin should be pulled taught before the abrupt hair removal process.
  
  

Hand Techniques

• Leftover wax can be a pesky for a client to remove after the Brazilian waxing process. Thus, lifting all of it along with the hair is one of the aesthetician's goals, according to Scott. Holding your fingers close together can help to properly smooth the muslin onto the groin area, ensuring that the fabric strip is properly affixed to the melted wax before removal -- even slightly parted fingers can result in remnant wax. Additionally, when laying down the muslin, Scott recommends rubbing the waxing area smoothing in long even strokes, which can help reduce leftover wax.
