S/O Brazilian wax ?

  I personally like to trim if it's been a while - don't want to have to have her deal with the "jungle".

  Regrowth for me is like a regular bikini wax.  I use tend skin to preven ingrowns... but I never get ingrowns on the "extra part" that's not done for the regular bikini.

  I don't trim... even if it is bad.  I am afraid of trimming too much and then there won't be enough to wax.  

  I used to go every 2-3 months (that would allow for everything to grow in).  I have occasional ingrown hairs, but not too many.  Regrowth is fine, over time the hair has thinned out, which is good!

  I get a Brazilian every 8-10 weeks.  I trim before I go.  Regrowth can be itchy about a weel after .... but not always.  Yes, do get a few ingrowns, on the outer parts around the bikini line area... could be due to underwear seam rubbing there?  It still hurts everytime, the inner parts getting done that is.

  I never bother trimming.  When I was good about it, I'd go approximately monthly.  I only go to one person because she's the only one with whom I haven't had any regrowth, itchiness, or ingrown hair issues.

  I will say, though, that there is a product out there called Tend Skin that is awesome for avoiding some of the issues.  Also, using a scrub with saracylic acid (sp?) is key.  Exfoliation is the root of many regrowth issues.

  When I was going, I trimmed if I had REALLY let it go. I never had a problem with ingrown hairs and, actually, I found I was never itchy unlike shaving where I can no longer shave that area at all because I get such a bad, itchy rash. And I agree that exfoliation is important as well, which is probably why I avoided ingrown hairs.

  years ago I was a big fan of the brazilian. LOVED it! I have to be honest, the first one KILLS! OMG! the woman actually gave me a shot of whiskey to help me get through it. oy... but after that it was much easier (but never fun.) I would sometimes take a percocet (no joke.)

  I went every 2-3 months with no trimming. hair grows back thinner and there is less of it (if you keep going.) fyi, I only got ingrowns when I shaved. these days I just get a regular old bikini wax.

  go for it! the results were (ahem) fun!
