Bikini design
Bikini design is a complex of procedures that includes a curly haircut or depilation, hair coloring and the use of decorative elements (beads, sequins and feathers) in the bikini area.
The intimate areas that are treated are so delicate and sensitive that the master who performs this procedure must have the appropriate knowledge in the fields of asepsis, antiseptics and anesthesia.
In bikini design, both traditional patterns with butterflies, hearts, partner's name, and hieroglyphs, labyrinths and ancient Germanic runic letters are popular.
The fashion for design in the bikini area came from ancient Rome, where the rich and noble people removed unwanted hair with tweezers, and the rest of the hair was dyed with natural dyes by specially trained slaves.
In Egypt, the procedure for hair removal in intimate places was popular among the Egyptian upper class of society. They used various herbal mixtures for depilation, dyed their hair with natural dyes, and created ornate ornaments with henna.
In Asian countries, hair removal in bikini areas has long been the norm, as it is considered part of the hygienic process, however, there hairs were completely removed, coloring and creating patterns were not popular there.
In Europe, bikini design became popular much later, only in the 60s of the last century, when bikini swimwear came into fashion and nudism became popular.
Procedure steps for salon bikini design
Before going to the salon, hair should be at least 5-6 mm. After the procedure, it is necessary to take a shower with great care so as not to damage the drawing and not injure irritated skin; it is strictly forbidden to visit solariums and take sun baths.
First of all, the client chooses a drawing or elements (rhinestones, feathers or beads) for the chosen intimate haircut, after which he sits on a special couch-chair.
The master disinfects the selected area of the skin with a tonic and applies a pattern through a stencil for a bikini design. After talc with menthol, the entire area of the bikini area (including the perineum and anus) is treated, then hot wax is spread over the entire surface with a spatula, and after a while it is removed along with unwanted hairs.
When the depilation stage is completed, the master proceeds to cutting and dyeing the hair and, if necessary, completes the drawing with temporary henna tattoos or makes a permanent tattoo. The duration of the procedure depends on the experience of the master and the complexity of the drawing and can last from an hour to two.
For owners of wide hips, it is better to choose designs with narrow lines and a triangle-shaped base up (stylized seagull). For owners of narrow hips, it is better to prefer a design with a large pattern and wide lines. Vertical drawings, visually lengthening the figure, are suitable for women with short stature, and for women with tall stature, it is better to draw horizontal lines. The color palette when using special paints is a little limited, mainly red, fiery red, gold and purple shades, but their use is much safer than conventional hair dyes, the production of which does not take into account all the features of the skin in such a thin place.
Recently, men have also begun to use the services of intimate designers. Men's bikini designs are not as varied as women's bikini designs and basically only refer to hair removal. However, there are also men who like to experiment and, in addition to hair removal, do intimate haircuts. The most popular designs for men's bikini designs are the Playboy Bunny, the Eiffel Tower, the quality mark and the luxury car emblems.
If you really want to, you can try to make a bikini design yourself, but if you want to make a difficult and beautiful drawing, it is better to visit the salon. There is one more plus in visiting the salon: after following the work of the master and consulting with him, you can try to repeat the procedure at home not from hearsay, but having a complete idea of how to do it.
According to reviews, a bikini design in the salon can be done according to your own sketch, but at the same time you need to be prepared for the master to make his own adjustments, because he will take into account the features of the figure, skin color, hair density and structure, age and other factors that will allow you to highlight the advantages and hide the disadvantages.
Bikini area design at home
At home, the procedure for designing a bikini zone can be carried out as follows:
- Firstly, you need to purchase a special device for removing hair from the bikini area (razor, trimmer, epilator or wax strips);
- Then you need to decide on the pattern that you want to create. It is easier to buy a ready-made stencil for a bikini design, which will show a ready-made drawing;
- The stencil for the bikini design must be placed in the selected area of the pubic area.
- Then, using an electric razor (trimmer or wax), it is necessary to remove hair growing in areas outside the stencil.
- Then remove the stencil and take a shower, which will wash away the removed hair.
Trimmers and electric shavers will be most effective in creating bikini designs, as a traditional razor is inconvenient to use for this area. In addition to stencils for bikini designs, you can also use special hair dyes in the bikini area.
