A bikini wax is a hair removal technique that involves the removal of hair from the bikini area, which is the region around the pubic area. This procedure can vary in style, from removing only the hair that would be visible in a bikini to more extensive options like the Brazilian wax, which removes most or all hair in the area. The process typically uses warm wax applied to the skin, which is then covered with cloth strips. Once the wax cools, the strips are quickly pulled away, removing the hair from the root. Many people choose bikini waxing for a smoother appearance and longer-lasting results compared to shaving.
