The Brazilian jersey , a form of hair removal very indented, is an alternative to the full jersey. This hair removal technique allows to create a small triangle on the pubis, while perfectly notching the sides of the shirt. Thus, no hair exceeds the swimsuit , a bikini or a tanga. According to Véronique Planchon, head of R & D and quality at Laurence Dumont, the depilation of the Brazilian jersey is a popular form of depilation of the jersey, but also very technical.
Where does the trend of the Brazilian jersey come from?
As its name suggests, the Brazilian jersey is named after the bikinis of Brazilian Samba dancers, explains Véronique Planchon. "It was adopted very quickly when thong and tanga became fashionable."
If the depilation of the Brazilian jersey always creates a small triangle of hair on the pubis, there are two options: either we also epilate the hairs of the labia majora so that the tip of the triangle stops just above the vulva, either we leave a thin band of hair on the labia majora, as for a so-called "subway ticket" hair removal.
The Brazilian jersey, for whom?
This hair removal technique is suitable for "all those who love to wear indented lingerie , strings, tangas, swimsuits ..." says Véronique Planchon. This also allows not to give up any hair on this part of the body, while avoiding that the hair does not exceed.
"We are not all fans of the jersey!" She adds.
The transition from the indented jersey to the Brazilian jersey is quite natural. We can come gradually. And it is also more comfortable, according to Véronique Planchon: "it allows you to perfect your technique and gradually find the most suitable method for its hair and this area."
Brazilian hair removal: how to do?
- The preparation of the area
"It is essential to prepare your skin to avoid any disappointment and for an optimal result," advises Véronique Planchon. The day before, make a light exfoliation to prevent the appearance of ingrown hairs . Then, make sure to hydrate the area.
On D-Day, Véronique Planchon insists on the need to properly disinfect the skin: "This is a very important step, hygiene above all else!" Then it's time to move on to hair removal.
- The choice of hair removal method
If there are several methods of hair removal , not all are suitable for this area or this form of hair removal or all women. The priority? If listen.
For Véronique Planchon, the most effective method for a Brazilian jersey is waxing . "It is the most widespread, it pulls the hair and its root and guarantees a result for about 3 weeks," she says. Its disadvantage? It is a little painful (especially the first times). As waxing progresses, the hair becomes thinner and more and more easy to depilate.
The expert nevertheless advises to go to a beautician for a first waxing of the Brazilian jersey with wax without defect. This meeting will define the design of the Brazilian jersey and observe the gestures of the expert.
The depilatory cream , if it is painless, is not recommended if one wishes to depilate the hairs of the labia majora. Indeed, some may cause irritation of the mucous membranes or inflammation, warns Veronique Planchon. "It is interesting if you keep a band of hair on your lips because it is faster than waxing." In terms of result and regrowth however, the opinion of the specialist is mixed.
What about the razor? For the Brazilian jersey, shaving is not the preferred method, because the jersey is a sensitive area. If this method is fast, economical and not very painful, it is reserved for touch-ups and the most urgent. The hair, then, regrows more thick and if one wishes to (re) switch to waxing, for example, it may be more painful. Véronique Planchon also warns against the risk of cuts, ingrown hairs and itching during regrowth. To use as a last resort, therefore.
On the other hand, Véronique Planchon eliminates automatically the method of the electric epilator , really too painful for the jersey: "if it is fast and effective for the legs, it is not suitable for the jersey.
Can one resort to permanent hair removal for his Brazilian jersey?
The methods of permanent hair removal, laser hair removal or pulsed light hair removal (in the institute or at home), are perfectly suited to the jersey area. "This is the ideal option for those looking for the most sustainable result possible," explains Véronique Planchon. However, be careful, "you have to be certain of your choice because this method is almost irreversible!"
