Difference Between Brazilian and Hollywood Wax

Brazilian vs Hollywood Wax
 

In this age of tanning and sun bathing on the beach, it is common for women to get hair around the pubic area removed so that the hair around this area is not visible to others. When women wear swim suits that are quite small, pubic hair that is not trimmed often comes out of the crotch area embarrassing them. Pubic hair that is visible is in any case unacceptable in all cultures. There are many waxing techniques to get rid of pubic hair, and Brazilian and Hollywood wax refers to two prominent waxing methods to remove pubic hair. They are also called two different styles of bikini waxing. Their pricing at spas and beauty salons differ too making it imperative to know the differences between the two.

What is Brazilian Wax?

This is a style of bikini waxing where the waxer removes all hair from the front to the back including the area between bums. Yes, there is hair between the bums too, and many women desire to get rid of this hair also. However, above the vagina, a landing strip is left in Brazilian waxing style which may be oval, triangle, heart or any other shaped but even this hair is trimmed down to a quarter of an inch for aesthetic sense. Brazilian wax is a bit more hair removed than a regular bikini wax but a little less than Hollywood wax.

What is Hollywood wax?

Hollywood wax is one style of bikini waxing where the entire pubic area is stripped of all hair. No hair is left behind starting from the front to the back, including in between buttocks. This is akin to getting into a natural state in which one is born. This is a style that looks very sexy and appealing and allows one to wear thongs and extremely short panties that barely cover the crotch. Hollywood wax is also known as Sphinx or full body wax, as no hair is left behind and the entire area from the pubic area to buttocks at the back is made completely bald.
