What is a Hollywood Wax?

A Hollywood wax provides the most thorough intimate waxing experience. It removes all pubic hair, including:

  • Hair on the pubic bone
  • Hair on the labia
  • Hair on the upper thighs
  • Hair around the anus

This is one of the most comprehensive grooming options we offer. 

How does a Hollywood wax compare to a Brazilian wax or Bikini wax?

During a Hollywood wax, your technician will remove all hair from the:

  • Pubic bone
  • Labia
  • Upper thighs
  • Anus

In contrast, a Brazilian wax is similar but typically leaves a small strip or triangle of hair in the center of the pubic area. It removes hair from the:

  • Thighs
  • Labia
  • Anus

A bikini line wax, on the other hand, is less extensive. A standard bikini wax removes hair outside the bikini line and sometimes from the top of the pubic area. The full bikini wax extends further into the bikini line and can involve removing some or all of the pubic hair. Unlike the Brazilian and Hollywood options, it does not include hair removal around the anus.

How to Prepare for a Hollywood Wax

Preparing for your Hollywood wax at Wax&co is simple. Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Hair Length: Ensure your hair is at least a quarter of an inch long for the wax to adhere properly. If it’s longer than half an inch, consider trimming it.
  2. Clothing: Wear cotton underwear and loose-fitting bottoms to your appointment.
  3. Pre-Wax Care: Take a warm bath the night before your appointment, and gently exfoliate your pubic area a few days prior.
  4. Pain Relief: Take an ibuprofen or another mild pain reliever about 30 minutes before your appointment to minimize discomfort.

What to Expect During a Hollywood Wax

At Wax&Co your waxing session will typically last between 45 minutes to 1 hour. Here’s a step-by-step overview of the process:

  • Preparation: Undress from the waist down and get onto the waxing table.
  • Consultation: Your wax technician will discuss the type of waxing you want before beginning.
  • Pre-Treatment: The technician will cleanse your pubic area and apply an oil or powder to prepare your skin.
  • Wax Application: A section of wax will be applied. Once it cools, the technician will pull your skin taut and swiftly remove the wax strip. This process will be repeated until all hair is removed.
  • Final Touches: After waxing, the technician may tweeze any remaining stray hairs and apply a soothing serum or cream to calm the skin and reduce the risk of ingrown hairs.

Considering Pain Tolerance

If you’re in Bangkok and coming to Wax&Co for your first Hollywood or Brazilian wax, you might be worried about the potential discomfort. Yes, some pain is likely, but the experience varies from person to person. Many clients find that it becomes less painful after the first session. To help ease any discomfort, we recommend taking a pain reliever like ibuprofen about 30 minutes before your appointment.

Hollywood Wax Aftercare

After your Hollywood wax, it’s important to care for your skin to avoid irritation and infection. Follow these guidelines:

  • Avoid Baths: Refrain from taking a bath for about 24 hours.
  • Skip Sexual Activity: Avoid sexual activity for at least 24 hours.
  • Gentle Exfoliation: Use a mild exfoliator about 2 days after your waxing to prevent ingrown hairs. Avoid harsh physical or chemical exfoliants; a simple washcloth will suffice.
  • Avoid Irritants: Stay away from tanning beds, saunas, exercise, and swimming pools for the remainder of the day.
  • Hands Off: Try not to touch the waxed area until any redness or discoloration has subsided.

Minimizing Ingrown Hairs and Bumps

To reduce the likelihood of ingrown hairs:

  • Pre-Wax Exfoliation: Gently exfoliate your skin a few days before your appointment using a washcloth to remove dead skin cells.
  • Avoid Picking: If you notice ingrown hairs, avoid picking at them to prevent further irritation and potential scarring.

Potential Health Benefits

Hollywood waxing your pubic hair offers several benefits, though grooming preferences are personal. Some potential advantages include:

  • Exfoliation: Waxing can help exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells, which may encourage new skin cell formation and improve moisturizer absorption.
  • Fewer Irritations: Compared to shaving or using an epilator, waxing generally causes fewer bumps and less irritation.
  • Weaker Hair Growth: Regular waxing can weaken hair roots, leading to finer or sparser regrowth over time.
  • Protection: Removing pubic hair may offer some protection against pubic lice.

Who Should Avoid a Hollywood Wax?

While waxing is generally safe for most people, certain conditions and medications can make your skin more sensitive, increasing discomfort:

  • Medications: Avoid waxing if you’re taking antibiotics, hormone replacement therapy, hormonal birth control, oral acne medications, or topical retinoids.
  • Cancer Treatments: Chemotherapy or radiation may also affect skin sensitivity.
  • Menstruation: Waxing during your period can be more uncomfortable due to increased sensitivity. If you choose to proceed, use a tampon or menstrual cup to avoid any issues with free-flowing blood.
  • Pregnancy: It’s usually safe to get waxed while pregnant, but consult your doctor if you’re in your third trimester.
  • Genital Piercings: If you have a genital piercing, your wax technician may ask you to remove it if possible. They will do their best to work around the area if removal isn’t feasible.

Can You Get a Hollywood Wax on Your Period?

If you’re menstruating, consider rescheduling your appointment if possible. Menstrual periods can make the skin around your pubic area more sensitive and prone to cramping. If you must get waxed, ensure you use a tampon or menstrual cup, as most professionals prefer not to wax with a pad or if there is free-flowing blood.

How Long Does a Hollywood Wax Last?

At Wax&co, we find that after a Hollywood wax, it generally takes about 3 to 4 weeks for your pubic hair to start regrowing. The exact timing can vary depending on your individual hair growth cycle. Those with darker hair and lighter skin might notice regrowth sooner than those with hair that blends more closely with their skin tone. For optimal results and to maintain smooth skin, we recommend scheduling your next waxing appointment at least 6 weeks after your initial session.
