96 views
A Brazilian wax hurts because it involves removing hair from sensitive areas with delicate skin. The pain is due to multiple factors: the hair is pulled from the roots, the skin is thin, and the process affects a large surface area. To reduce pain, consider taking a pain reliever before the appointment, exfoliating beforehand, and avoiding waxing close to your menstrual cycle when skin is more sensitive.
