How to Sugar Wax Without Strips

Sugaring is a way to remove hair that is generally less painful than waxing. It contains no actual wax, but gets the name since it achieves the same goal as a wax. It is a cheap, easy way to remove hair without special strips or warmers. Like regular waxing, it works best with hair that is less than 1/4 inch long.

    Instructions

    Things You'll Need

    • Sugar wax container
      • 1

        Wash and dry your hands and the area to be waxed. Heat a bowl of water until it is hot but not boiling. Pour 1 to 3 inches of the hot water into a small bowl that can be safely handled while containing hot liquid.

      • 2

        Place the container of sugaring in the bowl. Do not immerse the container.

      • 3

        Leave the jar in the bowl of hot water for 5 to 7 minutes, but never more than 10. The sugar wax should be warm, but not hot when it's ready to be applied.

      • 4

        Remove a small amount of sugaring from the jar with your fingers. It should be thick, but flowing. Knead the sugaring between your fingers until the sugaring turns opaque.

      • 5

        Spread the sugaring across the wax area in the direction of the hair growth. Pull off quickly in the opposite direction. Repeat until all unwanted hair is gone.

    Tips & Warnings

    • One can microwave sugaring, but please make sure that your container is microwave safe.

    • You may want a damp cloth ready to mop up spills- sugaring cleans up with water.

    • One cannot sugar or wax hair that is less than 1/4 inch generally.

    • The sugaring should be warm, NOT hot, when you handle it.

      Hello! I was wondering if we need to use cotton strips to place on the "wax" to remove it. Thank you.
