So You’re Getting Your First Brazilian Wax
Despite what “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” would have you believe, waxing isn?t the most painful beauty treatment I?ve suffered through. (If you ask me, extractions are much worse.) Still, a Brazilian wax isn?t exactly a walk in the park?especially if it?s your first time.
Here?s everything you need to know to make your first time go smoothly (lol).
