Several studies have put in question the risks of inflammation related to the depilation of the jersey. So we wonder. Without stopping waxing the shirt, how to limit the risks? Is there a more preferred method of hair removal than another to avoid small sores? Pro tips.
1. WHAT ARE THE PUBI SHOES FOR?
The hairs that one has on the body as on the pubis serve to limit the zones of friction. The pubic hair is useful during sex especially because they create an interface between the skin and promote the sliding of one skin on another.
2. DOES THE SPINNING REMOVE THE SKIN?
When you remove the hair, you lose this hair barrier that partially protects the lips, which can promote the occurrence of a bacterium, especially if you do not have an exemplary personal hygiene. It is not the removal of the hair that promotes the contamination, but rather the fact that the skin is damaged, especially after a shave. That's why we advise against it. The micro-cuts and irritations can promote infections and the spread of small warts, but it is not dramatic. In short, if we epile by respecting the good gestures, we limit the risks.

3. INTEGRAL EPILATION IS RISKED?
In principle, it is not risky if it is done correctly: it disinfects the area before and after and we choose a hair removal method that corresponds to its type of skin and with which we are most comfortable. If the action is poorly done, however, it is necessarily an irritation, whatever the method. Some doctors warn against the risk of sexually transmitted infection, linked to the removal of pubic hair, natural barriers against bacteria.
If you want to practice a complete hair removal in an institute that we do not know, we first start with a hair removal more "soft" and we do not hesitate to ask the beautician what technique she uses on the shirt (bands, hot or oriental wax) and its hygiene precautions. >> Read also our article: Waxing hot or cold, what difference?
When one strands the lips, one avoids the synthetic underwear that can generate friction or maceration on contact with the skin, increasing the risk of skin infection. To avoid it, we choose underwear with a cotton part at the place of the lips.
4. IN WHAT CASES SHOULD A DERMATO BE CONSULTED AFTER A SPINNING OF THE JERSEY?
We consult a dermatologist if we have many buttons that become infected or a hair that is being wound under the skin inaccessible to the forceps. This can create a real infection. More widely, we consult in case of extensive or persistent irritation, pain, inflammatory cyst, and any infection: fungus, red pimples, pus, warts or molluscum contagiosum.
5. WHAT FREQUENCY I SPELL THE JERSEY?
It varies depending on what you like and its hairiness. But we leave a minimum of 15 days between two epilations. >> See also our article: Hair removal of the jersey, instructions for the first time
6. THE EPILATOR OR WAX, EVEN COMBAT?
The result will not necessarily be the same. It all depends on his hairiness. If we have little hair, then yes the wax or epilator will give the same results. On the other hand, for the medium or strong pilosities one opts for the wax which presents less risks to cut the hair. Indeed, it is easier to tear the hair and its follicle with wax.
The wax is still more practical and pleasant than the epilator. The latter can break the hair and create small pimples under skin. In addition, we feel the hair pulling out and it's quite painful. In addition, waxing products are diversifying and are increasingly convenient for those who wish to do it at home without going through the beautician box. It remains to know the good tips not to "soften" when using a wax heater for the first time.
7. CAN I SHAKE FROM TIME TO TIME TO AVOID SEVERAL PUSHERS?
Yes, we can shave when we want to recover an even shoot. The problem of uneven shoots often occurs in the summer. As we want a neater jersey, we epile every 15 days. But eventually you end up with long hairs and short hairs and have to epilate again.
In this case a razor stroke in the fall allows you to upgrade all that and start again on an equal regrowth. In other words, we shave, we wait ten days that it regrows and we epile with the method we usually use. To pass the razor once or twice in the year, it is enough against the uneven regrowths. When shaving, do not forget to do it in the shower on soaped skin or with shaving cream.
8. IT IS TRUE THAT THE RAZOR MAKES THE HAIR MORE THICK?
No, after the shave, when it pushes you feel like you have a harder hair. But this is only an impression. Since it is cut close to the root, it feels like it is thicker. It's like the hair cut near the root that gives a thicker rendering.
9. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO AVOID BURNS WHEN SPREADING?
We do a test on his hand before applying the wax on his shirt: we put a little on the hand to understand the temperature.
10. WHAT IS THE MOST REQUESTED "CUP" IN THE AESTHETIC?
The most requested "cut" is "thong", in the jargon of beauticians, better known as the metro ticket. Understand the total hair removal of the lips and the partial hair removal of the pubis (rectangular shape in the pubic area).
Small lexicon of the different types of depilation of the jersey
- The string: waxing lips, we leave a little hair on the pubis very straight
- The classic jersey: pubis so indented, waxing panties
- The Brazilian jersey: very indented but not lip waxing
- The complete jersey: complete, we remove all the hair.
The interpretation of the Brazilian jersey differs according to the institutes. This can be a total waxing of the lips or not. In doubt, we do not hesitate to ask.
