Brazilian wax as opposed to shaving?

Question

When I shave I get red bumps, and itchy, never been able to find a way to stop that.

I want to hear hopefully from someone who shaved and got the same red bumps, when you have a brazilian done, is it the same? Or is it just smooth?

I had my legs waxed once, it hurt, and I got bumps on my legs, but when waxing my arms, it was perfectly fine..

Answer 1

waxing lasts longe [:

shaving can give you ingrown hairs. it can hurt!

Answer 2

Waxing can give you ingrown hairs which scar and take longer to fade away than razor bumps. I've never gotten ingrown hairs from waxing my arms either, I think it must have to do with the hair thickness.

Answer 3

Sometimes when people shave it iterates their skin, thus you get red bumps. If waxing works for you, use it

Answer 4

Honestly, it just depends.  My skin is super sensitive.

The fist time I got the b-wax, it hurt, but very smooth!  The next time my skin got red and irritated.  My legs get bumps from waxing sometimes too.

try it out, but just be aware that you might be sensitive for a day or two!    

Answer 5

I prefer waxing even though its way more expensive. If you exfoliate gently, you won't get ingrown hairs. Shaving gives you red bumps and doesnt last long
