Before a Brazilian wax, it’s recommended to grow your hair out to about a quarter of an inch (6mm), typically requiring about 2-3 weeks of not shaving. This length ensures the wax can grip hair effectively, leading to a smoother result and less discomfort. Avoid shaving in between wax sessions to maintain this optimal hair length.
