The New Jersey Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling is reportedly pushing for a ban on genital or “Brazilian” waxing to avoid further mishaps including two recent incidents wherein women got injured while undergoing the process.

The two unidentified women have been hospitalized for infections and one of them already filed a lawsuit.

Genital waxing has never been allowed, according to experts. However, since there was no ban on this – many people have resorted to this process with the hope of having a smoother bikini line.

The allowed waxing is limited on the neck, face, legs, arms and abdomen.
Meanwhile, the National Cosmetology Association and National-Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology officials admitted that they have no idea if other states have moved for the ban of genital waxing. But for now, regular bikini waxing can still be done.

Scores of American men and women have been going to salons to avail of this procedure because it only costs less than $100, relatively cheaper than other cosmetic surgeries.
