A Brazilian wax for men, also known as a manzilian or male Brazilian, is a hair removal procedure that includes hair removal from the scrotum, perineum, and anal region. Here are some details about Brazilian wax for men:
Positive:
- A male Brazilian can make one feel cleaner, fresher, and more attractive to their partner.
- Body parts not covered in hair are much more sensitive to the touch, and it is easier to feel cleaner.
- Waxing can change the way you feel about yourself.
- Waxing is more hygienic, longer-lasting, and more cost-effective.
Negative:
- The procedure can be painful.
- The most uncomfortable part of the male Brazilian wax is reclining, naked from the waist down in front of a stranger staring at your genitalia with clinical disinterest.
- After the wax, you can expect some redness and puffiness around the area, but that should go down within the first 48 hours.
Ingredients or materials:
- One of the best waxes for manzilian services is Starpils Black Hard Wax. It’s incredibly gentle, but an excellent wax for men because it’s strong enough for thicker, coarser hair while being precise at getting the fine hairs growing in the most sensitive spots.
- For regular post-wax care, use Starpil’s Original Post-Wax Lotion or Starsoft Post-Wax Lotion. If clients are particularly prone to breakouts or ingrowns, use our Calendula Post-Wax Mousse.
- Your esthetician will likely use one of two waxes: soft or hard. Soft wax is stickier and you have to put a muslin strip on top to pull it off—also known as strip wax and honey wax. In the case of hard wax, you apply it and let it harden before pulling it off. I apply more to the hair than the skin. In her opinion? The move here is hard wax. "Hard wax is better in areas that are more sensitive,".
- Hard wax is best for smaller, sensitive areas, such as the bikini line, underarms, upper lip, or eyebrows. The primary ingredients in hard wax are beeswax and rosin. Other therapeutic ingredients, such as oils and vitamins, are usually added. Hard wax doesn’t require removal strips.
It is important to note that getting a Brazilian wax is completely safe for men, provided that you go to a hygienic and professional waxing salon.
