ATTENTION: To all those who failed doing this. Did it 4x, the first 3 tries I did it the way the vid. told me to, then the 4th try I did it my way. I waited until it turned red on the pan, coz if I took it out right after it turns golden yellow I noticed the sugar doesn't melt well, then I took it out. Don't wet it afterwards or rather wet your hands while touching it, I didn't even touch it, I just poured it down on a bowl and then played with it using my spoon until I know it wasn't that sticky/runny. Then I took a small piece of it to check if it's ok, then rolled it in my hands until it's the same texture as the vid. Now I was able to use it on my auntie.. XD
+Hamimah Guinungco yeah.. Actually just slice half a lemon and that's all u'll need along with the water, sugar and salt.. Sorry u can't take that ingredient out..
I think I have finally found the right combo that has worked for me. I have a glass marble cutting board. All I did was put the board into the freezer while the mixture was boiling. Adding water to the marble did nothing but make the mixture too loose and watery, so freezing it is a better way to help it not stick. Also I mixed it on the marble and waited until it was very cooled down to start stretching it. I've had success every time since then. I can confidently make it whenever I need to. Hope this helps !! :)
Aliyyaa I put mine in the freezer now because it worked for one minute and then just started sticking to everything. And wetting my hands didn't help because then I couldn't wax my legs properly (the wax just slided over my legs). let's hope it's just a temperature thing, like my hands were too warm or something. I got so close!! :(
katleenvdbossche Yes, it is a temperature thing. I don't wet my hands now either. I just make sure I have some ice cubes nearby and I use that to make my hands really cold. Adding water to your hands makes the sugar too runny if you use too much.
Omg yes!! And off course, the stickier it gets the more water I have to use to get it off my hands and then it gets even more runny etc etc. I tried making it again but it was even worse because I kept using water on my hands. I've put it on some plastic and put it in the fridge... We'll see tomorrow. Otherwise I'll start over and use your ice cube-trick :) thanks!!
you can apply sugaring over the same spot multiple times. i went to cosmetology school and im a licensed cosmetologist. they taught us about sugaring in school and our books taught us that with normal waxing its way too abrasive so you cannot go over it more than once but with suagring it much more gentle on the skin allowing you to be able to go over soots more than once if hairs are missed.
Here is a helpful tip to some. Lemon juice helps to slow the caramelization process. Try cooking without the lemon juice and then once it gets close to the desired color add the lemon juice. This also may help with some of the consistency issues.
Recipe (in case you don't feel like going through the video etc.) Hope this helps people~ 1 cup of sugar 1/5 cup of water 1 teaspoon of salt 2-3 teaspoons of lemon juice Directions: Combine the ingredients in a saucepan and heat the mixture until a golden yellow color. Once it achieves the golden yellow color, remove from heat and pour it onto a marble surface that has been made wet with some water (or into a tray like thing LOL). Continuously pull in the edges and kind of form a small mound. Wet your hands and scoop up the wax into your hands (be careful because it will be hot/warm). While you are stretching it, wet your hands so that it doesn't stick to you. When finished stretching the wax so that it achieves a level of elasticity, take the amount of wax needed and store the rest in plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator. Pull your skin tightly/taut and apply it on the desired spot against the growth of your hair three times and flick in the opposite direction. (Learned this from Pop sugar beauty's video on sugaring)
its hardly painful! i have deep rooted and im a hairy spanish person lol. I have been using sugar wax over a year!!!! I love it. Ill never buy wax again. I have made three cups thats literally lasted a year. I will never wax my armpits with any other wax bc with sugar wax it doesnt stick to skin so theres way less pain. I can just wash it away even whenit gets on the floor or carpet. I love it but i needed the recipe bc mine lasted a year and i wanted to double check the portions lol
Cacao Culture Will cooking the wax longer make it achieve that hard elastic form? I took it off the heat when it "immediately turned gold" but it wasn't hard enough... I'm going to try leaving it on the heat for a minute or two longer after its turned gold next time.
After 4 failed attempts, success finally! First 4 times, I added too much liquid and didn't cook it enough. Still need to perfect the application method though :P
+Soniya Jhan it's really trial and error the first few times. try boiling it until it gets brown in colour, but careful not to burn it. add less lemon juice and water than is shown here (I added about 1 TS of lemon and a 2 of water). once you pour it out of the pan, leave it to cool for a few minutes and bring in the edges with a spoon. if you let it cool, you can handle it without having to wet your hands too much, which would turn everything to a sticky mess (happened to me the first 2 times). then get on with the kneading. good luck!
Thank you for replying :) But I didn't get the part when u said " 1tbs salt and 2 water" u mean two tbs water?? Or two cups. Also in the video she said cook it until it's golden but you said brown,is urs looks and works the same as this video?
Soniya Jhan 1 table spoon of lemon juice and 2 table spoons of water. i cooked it golden and it was way too runny and gooey in the end. so, by cooking it until it got amber colored, it worked just like shown in the video. careful though, you can burn it really easily.
Yess finally got the wax right on the fourth try! In case anybody wanted to know, my past failures were because I put too much water in the baking pan, so when I stretched the wax it was slimy and not flexible. To fix this I just put a little water in the baking pan, spread it out, then poured out any excess. Came out great!
Same I Didn't Know What I Was Doing, Because I Almost Burned My Face Off. So I Just Put It In A Bowl, Then In The Micro., And Now Its In The Fridge. XD DeKayla Owings
How it WORKED for me: I had to use TWO cups of sugar instead of one. I think the problem is that 1/4 cup water is too much so using less with one cup of sugar, I think will work. I also let it sit for about 3 minutes before trying to scoop it up. I found myself reheating the wax after it would get hard. My first time waxing! Hope this helps.
That was very helpful for me too . The first time I used her measurements & I couldn't kneed it into a ball at all & I'm waiting for it to sit a bit also
Good :) I also found that the exact measurements of salt and lemon are important, I tried it with one cup of sugar but with a little bit of water and it worked better than my first try, the stickiness lasted a lot longer.
This is the most popular hair removal method in Egypt it's called "halawa" or the also call it "sweet" it's the least expensive and most efficiently used and it's been known here for years and years. Thank you for the video!
Pro tip: If you're waxing a place with relatively long hair/a lot of nerve endings, (coughpubescough) be sure to shave a couple days before and only wax the stubble. That way, it'll grab the hair at the very base and it will pull out faster/less painfully, instead of grabbing it at the end and ripping it out
I didn't let it boil long enough, so it isn't hard BUT it works perfectly with wax strips. So if yours was wax consistency but not hard like hers, it can still work :)
Guys just put it in a glass or ceramic bowl. I don't know why the counter worked for her but it's not a must. Just put it in a bowl and let it cool for a bit until you're ready to use it. At least that's what I do and it works.
I watched more than 50 videos on UA-cam since yesterday about sugaring or sugar waxing. This one here was the best and well illustrated without complicating the things like powdering the body or whatsoever.
We call this "shira" in arabic ! We've been using it for a long time and it's pretty good I am hairy amd I have a really thick hair so it's annoying ! So usual stuff will make my hair grow in two days or two weeks .. But shira help for almost a month ! And for those who say it's dangerous no body died cause they waxed their hair with shira xD
Can you help me in it what is the actual recipe of it as other mentions thah it become so sticky after cooling it get hard if you put in microwave it turn liquid same things happened with me two times. And I'm also looking for it can you also tell me how to use it??? Please Please Please !!!!
Nuzhat Batool Well the important ingredients are the same water sugar and lemon (3cup of sugar 1cup of water half a lemon 1tsp flower water) the flower water is just to smooth the skin so if you don't you don't need to put it (mix the water and sugar before heating it) theput it on medium heat and add the lemon juice then after it boils remove it (you can add the water flower here) and wait until it cool then use if it get hard don't put it in a microwave that's wrong (just like melting chocolate put the shira on a bowel and put hot water under it and just when it become less harder remove it don't let it melt and use your hand to make it softer and then take a little from it and use it and when it become sticky add a little water to it
I tried to do it a while back when I first saw this video and when I was heating it one of the bubbles fell onto the stove and it caught on fire so I panicked and accidentally knocked over the rest of the pan and it was so scary omg but I'm going to try again
after reading all the comments ~ just tried making this, using the 2 tbsp water and 2 tbsp lemon juice, also used a dinner plate to pour and cool. Came out great. Easy to clean. i also noticed that there is lemongrass oil in the lemon juice concentrate i was using which helps keep very pliable so i used a drop of oil on palms to keep it from becoming too sticky ~ thank you everyone
Looks pretty interesting. I would def like to try this. I was thinking, instead of pouring the wax directly off the stove onto a marble surface and then into your hands.. could it be easier to pour it into a cup or small bowl, which is placed in cold or ice water? That way its grouped together and won't damage any surfaces or burn your hands.
Tried this, it's effective and less painful. It's quite time consuming and messy in my case but definitely works. I will surely use this method in the future. Thanks for this. :)
*I have been epilating for years and it was time to replace my 5-year-old Emoji unit. After doing research, I settled on this one for speed and ease of use. It performs brilliantly! This has cut my epilating time down by two thirds at least. The unit is pretty large, designed mainly for legs. I used it on my armpits without a problem either, but I wouldn't recommend trying facial or intimate epilating with this one. Some people have complained that it doesn't have a light, but that wasn't a concern for me. The fact that it is a plug-in rather than battery-driven unit was perhaps the greatest selling point for me since it means it will last for years to come. The quality of the build is clear here. Highly recommended if you experienced at epilating.*
this is the best video i have seen so far . most videos just show you the ingredients and then the finished wax and you dont know what to do . i never knew that you have to kneed the wax . Thank you so much for making this video
I use to sugar from 2013-2015 and your video was a big help. I was recently searching for your video to start sugaring again and it was the hardest thing to find. I'm so glad I finally found it because your recipe is the very best.
Randy Marsh My husband has a little belly hair that proceeds further down. I find it sexy. Although, if you still do not feel confident about it/ do not like it, WHY NOT wax?! Doesn't matter what gender you are, how much body hair you wish to have is your choice! I would recommend trimming it like Hunter said, just so it does not hurt you as much. Also.. do not follow this video.
Janicijevic_a yea i tried the way they did it in this video it does not work at all , yeah i'll get a trimmer soon but how about shaving ? is it the same as trimming or it will have different result ?
Quintia Simmons it does work, but be careful and first test on a small patch on the bikini area, then go deeper if it works. for this area, as the hair is thicker, I strongly recommend that you first pour baby powder (or talc, or corn starch) on the hairs, and remove excess, and then put the wax on. it will be much more easy to the wax to grab on the hair, believe me, because sweat can lead to a poor grab, you know? good luck!
Ameiaru You're not inserting it into the vagina. I pray you're not thinking of waxing anymore that the outer lips. The ph has to do with what goes on inside of the vagina, not something like waxing the outer lips occasionally. And then there is soap and water to remove any residue.
So I just made this! The first time i did it, everything was going right until i had to play with it! I wet my hands too often. it became gooey and got every where! the second time i hardly added any water! I loooooooove the results. The waxing does hurt but the pain is ok. For some reason I didn't get as much wax as she did.
I've seen this done so many different ways and thought I'd give this way my first shot... In one video I watched it showed a hard wax and a soft wax.. after following your video to a "T" I ended up with a soft wax... (kind you'd put a thin layer of on your skin and rip off with a waxing strip or cloth) when I tried running water on my hands in attempt to "cool/harden' the wax it just got mushy and ended up with half of the amount of wax as I cooked... so I put it in a glass jar and popped it in the freezer. hope that does something I can work with. I really don't like soft wax and was so happy to find this "hard" wax as an alternative. will post again if freezer worked... If not then anyone watching this needs to know they should get a candy thermometer heat to 120 C, and proly watch 5 other how to videos to see what all three of them are doing the same...
Exactly. Caramelized sugar is very hard to control and so much can go wrong. Great vid if you need to wax a small part of your body, but larger areas not so much. Salon or wax strips is a better solution.
A lot of people are saying they failed. It's not just about filling the recipe. It's also about the pand you use. Not sure what pan she has or what it's made of. But the type of pan you use makes a huge difference. When I was in culinary, I made caramel perfect first attempt. At home I did the same exact thing. It never set no matter how long I boiled it. Turns out stainless steel (what we used at school) delivered heat better vs my Paula Deen nonstick pots from Walmart. Not saying this will solve it, but it may help
I had to troubleshoot what I was doing wrong making it, but I find that the less water you use to mix it and heat the better because your going to have to nead it with water anyway. but thank you thank you, it took me 4 tries to finally get it right but I did, thanks to your video yours is actually the best video on how to!!😃
I tried it for the first time and it worked! You just have to get the right consistency. For a person like me who haven't tried waxing before and did this method for the first time, I must say that the pain is tolerable. This is great! Thank you!
And oh you just have to make sure that your armpit is dry and not sweaty because it will make your skin slippery which will make it hard for the wax to stick on your skin
+Hey Unicorn you'll feel pain but not that damn-it-hurts-a-lot-imma-cry kind of pain. I've never waxed before so I can't really compare the pain when using regular wax and sugar wax but it's pretty tolerable. Trust me :)
You can actually buy a huge can of sugar wax for two bucks at my local beauty store. Since I'm in college and don't usually have a lot of time on my hands, the store-bought version is usually my go-to. But over the summer I tried your DIY and I ended up liking your formula better the the store-bought formula! Your version was a lot less painful and lasted a lot longer. I genuinely wish I had the time to make this sugar wax more often! I've got fast-growing hair too. I loved your video!
Thank you so much! I have tried this in the past and it did not work properly because I didn't put enough water in the mixture. This time when I tried it I used your same measurements except I used 1/4 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. After I made the wax I used it on my mom. Her legs were so smooth. Thank so much again
im gonna be honest here... I did awesome with the mixture. got to wax like 4 inches on my leg and then the wax just ended up picking up dead skin instead of my hairs. For those who are attenpting this: PATIENCE IS KEY! BEWARE FOR BLISTERS!! & BE FAST!!! ......... I am thankful u shared such a method but I might have to keep trying or buy me kit. I got a blister on m finger, you made it look so easy even with the caution lol
omg! i watched your video like 4 times to make sure i will be doing every steps you showed and not miss anything! my first try was successful and it was my first time to wax my armpit hair! im so thankful it worked :) thanks to you!
Okay I feel I did everything right until I got to the playing with it part. Mine didn't turn light yellow after playing with it for more than 10min. Instead it was SUPER STICKY like wouldn't get off my hand sticky and I had to keep wetting my hand to get it off. It also is very very soft like if I put it down on a surface it will turn back into a puddle. What did I do wrong??
Atsuko Smiles mine started out super sticky and i kept peeling it off and rerolling without adding water and it turned into the way it did in the video :3
I had solved my issue. It seems I had added too much water. They should mention one should be careful to how much water they add. Even a teaspoon more than needed can alter it so much.
GREAT! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I have the exact same problem. I always wanted to try with the sugar paste, but. I didn't know actually how to strip it off and I didn't know actually if it works or not with thick hair like mine.
Yup, just tried this,and thank God I tried it on my leg first,cause if I would've did my pit I would've been steaming mad. It got super sticky, and not in a good way. It got goopy sticky and the more I tried to pull it off the more goopier it got...smh... I won't go into the counter top situation... But I kept laughing at myself because I read someone else's post about how she ate it... Yup, tried that and it was awful!!! 😂 but that didn't stop me from keep trying it though!! Lol I don't know if I thought it would change each time I tried it, but it didn't... Lol so now it's time to hit the showers and hope this stuff melts away!! May try again, but I'm most probably certain that I won't... Lol that's a cup of sugar somebody could've borrowed 😂
Thank you so so much! I have tried making sugar wax 8 times and it has never worked. I tried your recipe and it turned out perfect. It works so so well and doesn't irritate the skin. Thank you!
I'm arab and we've been using this waxing method for ages, there is a Lebanese movie called caramel where a bunch of ladies work at a salon and hair removal place and you see them eating it while preparing the mix, it's basically caramel lol
Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. After some trial and error I finally got the wax I needed! Some tips I found helpful was cooking the mixture on medium to low heat and them pouring it onto a cookie sheet that was in the freezer while I was cooking the mixture.
I messsed up the ingredients LOL so my wax is a waste. I tried it again but sometimes it is too burnt and turns into a solid like super solid. LOL be careful while doing this, maybe wasting your time. But I like this. Looks so easy but not so easy.
SUCCESS! -make sure you wet your marble counters or if you have a glass surface(i have a glass chess board) -I waited until the sugar solution in the pan is a dark golden brown :) -hot water cleans surfaces, spoons, pans faster
Awesome video! I have a question, when I poured the hot wax on my butty hole it hurt really bad and left a lot of scarring and blistering, just wondering how to avoid that next time? thanks!
You have to put your booty in the freezer for 10 hours until it's numb, then you may pour the hot wax on your booty. It won't hurt because you can't feel your booty. It will still leave blisters but you can fix those by using ointment. Hope I helped!! :) P.S. I learned this tip from personal experience.
jjaa i did ! i don't know why mine work for about 30 seconds and it got really sticky! idk if i was sweaty or what but this is my 3rd time and im going nuts
Thanks for actually having hair that you could see in the demonstration. I've watched 5 others where they remove hair from the forearm and you can't see anything. Do you do your eyebrows with it? That's what I'm interested in.
which direction are you pulling the sugarwax? try putting the sugarwax on "against the grain" and then pull it off to the direction the hair is growing, if you pull it upwards (even just a little bit) it does nothing.. try using teeny tiny ripping motion :)
Stammyify its also when I'm making it. it is to liquidy when I'm stretching it around. after a little while it just starts to feel like regular wax that you use with a strip
Claudia Thevarge i couldn't do it like she does on the video but i pur it into a glass jar when its hot (heat the jar in hot water first so the chances it explodes are smaller) and then i let it cool for a couple of hours and when i want to use the sugarwax i put the jar into a hot water bath so the wax softens just enough to allow you to take a bit out of the jar, then stretch the ball you are going to use.. the sugar hardens when you let it cool in the jar :)
Thats awesome u showed us that it actually works on armpits, so im assuming it will work down there, as i just did my own brazilian and arm pits with GiGi wax and it is excruciating every time, not to mention messy and im always cleaning wax of my bathroom floor. im going to try this ! Thanks !
Waxing does not prevent ingrown a and bumps. Also the technique in this video is sugaring. She should not have reapplied the sugar to the same area multiple times. Sugaring exfoliates. Meaning it's taking skin with it every pass. Her technique may cause hyperpigmentation, in other words the skin will darken in response to repeated abuse to the same area.
Koinu Lunatic Actually no sugar wax is safe so you can wax the same areas more than once, other waxes besides sugar wax are more abrasive so it can cause bruising
I made this yesterday and came out perfect, used almost half of it now I have smooth legs. Thank you for sharing your recipe I'm so glad I saw this video
i can't believe ppl needed to a tutorial for this.I've been doing this sugar wax since I was 10, I learned it from my mom who learned it from grandma ect.. it's very old, healthy & effective way to remove hair. I didn't try to add salt before but we only use sugar, water & lemon & it works just fine
Lupe Guerrero a cup of sugar, a cup of water & a spoon of lemon juice. Heat them tgt until the sugar melts & the liquid starts to get brownish. With a spoon take a little bit of the liquid & put it on a cold surface until it gets cold & u can pick it up with ur fingers. Squeeze it with ur fingers, if it's still not hard enough let it heat some more & try again and if it's too hard and u can't squeeze it easily put some water into the mixture. When it become hard enough but still easy to squeeze put the mixture on a plate (dont use anything plastic) and let it cool down then gather it with a spoon and start molding it in ur hand until it become like the one in the video and then start using it. I hope this helped :)
I got it right on second attempt! Great video, to the point, and good recipe!! Amazing how a little goes a long way, this portion will last me the year at least! Thank you :)
i tried it... i'm really disapointed!!! it was not hard, it was really sticky. i did it twice, cuz i thought that i did something wrong. But again it was no hard and it was sticky. i could not use it. sure i will not try it again!
I have tried 7 times but I still can't get it to work I take it out of the pan and I fold the corners in but when I put it in my hands it just sticks to me and is like a honey mixture. I am not sure if my mix is right or how long I boil it or when do put it in my hands :( :(
Water DOESN'T dissolve wax! This is really important! If you let true wax (as in wax made from oils) get down your drain, it'll get stuck inside the pipes and clog them! This 'wax' isn't actually a wax at all, as there are no oils in it, it's just that sugar gets sticky when it is melted. Sugar is dissolved by water, but wax isn't!
Thank you for your comment! What I refer to as 'WAX' in this video is SOLELY the SUGAR WAX i'm making, NOT any other. It is a very good point you brought up, because people should keep that in mind and not take it as a generality. Thank you!
I tried this today. ..everything in the video seemed true. Im glad i found this video. Less pain of course..thank you so much for sharing this method...❤️❤️❤️
Jennan327 same. I’m so annoyed. I followed her instructions exactly and both times I ended up having to use a thin towel as a wax removing strip because the consistency never got right/it never turned into a pliable, elastic ball 😡 never making this recipe for sugar wax again, it was terrible
When ur cooking it make sure u have a cold glass of water and occasionally drop a little of the mixture in it or u can us the sink just put ur spoon under the faucet. if the sugar hardens in a ball at the bottom take it and try to stretch it with your fingers or on the spoon. Make sure it's not to slippery or to hard that it wont budge. it has to have a stretchy constancy like taffy. Then ur done. Also to make things less messy put it in a heat safe container with a lid that u can put your hands in to take some out. If u only have plastic containers ur going to have to get a big bowl, run cold water in it and to place the container in, to cool it off don't get the water inside ur wax. Once ur sure it wont melt the plastic stick it in the fridge or let it sit for an hour before use.
after the third time trying it, I finally am successful with doing it. I waxed my under arms and it only took about 10 mins maybe less. this video helped alot.

I'm glad she actually had armpit hair instead of shaving first then showing us.
ikr
Ikr that's true
Thank you! It was a tough decision to... be so bold !
thanks for actually showing an area that has hair! most chicks show an area that was practically hair free
+Yoganut319 hellow in my clz i am boy the boy who have mustache and bear can i use this to remove it
+Anmol Bhujel you probably can but I would watch more videos so that you can learn about your options before trying it
+Yoganut319 yes..i agree this is what we call tutorial..thumbs up for this video
Right!
Yoganut319 u
you're really lucky having 2 days being shaved, my hairs grow out after like 5 hours
Tilda ok same.
Tilda ok ☺☺☺
same 😭
Tilda ok so true just like me am like seriously I just shaved and only 2 days past n there is hair .
Tilda ok me too!!
ATTENTION: To all those who failed doing this. Did it 4x, the first 3 tries I did it the way the vid. told me to, then the 4th try I did it my way. I waited until it turned red on the pan, coz if I took it out right after it turns golden yellow I noticed the sugar doesn't melt well, then I took it out. Don't wet it afterwards or rather wet your hands while touching it, I didn't even touch it, I just poured it down on a bowl and then played with it using my spoon until I know it wasn't that sticky/runny. Then I took a small piece of it to check if it's ok, then rolled it in my hands until it's the same texture as the vid. Now I was able to use it on my auntie.. XD
Thanks !!
Welcome! Glad to help! :)
Can I just use sugar and water? Is the lemon juice really need to be use?
+Hamimah Guinungco yeah.. Actually just slice half a lemon and that's all u'll need along with the water, sugar and salt.. Sorry u can't take that ingredient out..
+Larkspur BM didn't you say that in a other video??
Well, I had the best intention of doing this...I was squeezing the lemon aaaaand...I just went ahead and made lemonade haha. Maybe next time...
haha!!! plan b i guess? LoL
Sarah Monroe haha ..
Sarah Monroe lol
Sarah Monroe too funny! Lol!
haha LOVE IT
I think I have finally found the right combo that has worked for me. I have a glass marble cutting board. All I did was put the board into the freezer while the mixture was boiling. Adding water to the marble did nothing but make the mixture too loose and watery, so freezing it is a better way to help it not stick. Also I mixed it on the marble and waited until it was very cooled down to start stretching it. I've had success every time since then. I can confidently make it whenever I need to. Hope this helps !! :)
O
Aliyyaa I put mine in the freezer now because it worked for one minute and then just started sticking to everything. And wetting my hands didn't help because then I couldn't wax my legs properly (the wax just slided over my legs). let's hope it's just a temperature thing, like my hands were too warm or something. I got so close!! :(
katleenvdbossche Yes, it is a temperature thing. I don't wet my hands now either. I just make sure I have some ice cubes nearby and I use that to make my hands really cold. Adding water to your hands makes the sugar too runny if you use too much.
Omg yes!! And off course, the stickier it gets the more water I have to use to get it off my hands and then it gets even more runny etc etc. I tried making it again but it was even worse because I kept using water on my hands. I've put it on some plastic and put it in the fridge... We'll see tomorrow. Otherwise I'll start over and use your ice cube-trick :) thanks!!
katleenvdbossche Sure!! Let me know how it turns out. :)
you can apply sugaring over the same spot multiple times. i went to cosmetology school and im a licensed cosmetologist. they taught us about sugaring in school and our books taught us that with normal waxing its way too abrasive so you cannot go over it more than once but with suagring it much more gentle on the skin allowing you to be able to go over soots more than once if hairs are missed.
so its okay?
does it hurt?
florea ana yes, but the pain lasts just a little bit and it is better than the annoying itch you get from razors.
Here is a helpful tip to some. Lemon juice helps to slow the caramelization process. Try cooking without the lemon juice and then once it gets close to the desired color add the lemon juice. This also may help with some of the consistency issues.
I made a FAQ video that can help with most common questions! >> ua-cam.com/video/FD0nHWJ0Iuc/v-deo.html
Recipe (in case you don't feel like going through the video etc.) Hope this helps people~
1 cup of sugar
1/5 cup of water
1 teaspoon of salt
2-3 teaspoons of lemon juice
Directions: Combine the ingredients in a saucepan and heat the mixture until a golden yellow color.
Once it achieves the golden yellow color, remove from heat and pour it onto a marble surface that has been made wet with some water (or into a tray like thing LOL).
Continuously pull in the edges and kind of form a small mound. Wet your hands and scoop up the wax into your hands (be careful because it will be hot/warm).
While you are stretching it, wet your hands so that it doesn't stick to you.
When finished stretching the wax so that it achieves a level of elasticity, take the amount of wax needed and store the rest in plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator.
Pull your skin tightly/taut and apply it on the desired spot against the growth of your hair three times and flick in the opposite direction. (Learned this from Pop sugar beauty's video on sugaring)
The best one I've seen by far
Thank you!
Same
Cacao Culture
+Cacao Culture I agree! best presentation and very thorough
LMAO I just made candy.. my kids love it... 😍
😂
sexychick9541 hahahahahahahahahahaha you funnyyyyy
sexychick9541 O God innocent
be careful of the salt tho.
me too
its hardly painful! i have deep rooted and im a hairy spanish person lol. I have been using sugar wax over a year!!!! I love it. Ill never buy wax again. I have made three cups thats literally lasted a year. I will never wax my armpits with any other wax bc with sugar wax it doesnt stick to skin so theres way less pain. I can just wash it away even whenit gets on the floor or carpet. I love it but i needed the recipe bc mine lasted a year and i wanted to double check the portions lol
Rosa M i poiur mine in a jar and reusable strips. maybe ill use this ingredient so i can use it this way
Rosa M man, you need to join our advertising firm. :D
+Rosa M DO you wax the same way that she does in the video? and do you prepare it the same way?? :)
Rosa M please give me your recipe.. cz every time i tried i failed
yeah cool thanks it got stuck to my fucking counter...
Sorry to hear that! to avoid that, you should try making it on a baking pan instead, as stated in the video :)
i'll try it again because i REALLY want to accomplish this, lol
Cacao Culture Will cooking the wax longer make it achieve that hard elastic form? I took it off the heat when it "immediately turned gold" but it wasn't hard enough... I'm going to try leaving it on the heat for a minute or two longer after its turned gold next time.
it has to be on a marble counter
Melissa Johnson I tried making has got the same wax amazing ! so you can try
i honestly loved this video..not sure i ll try this myself but i appreciate you showed ur armpit before and after it takes a lot of courage..
After 4 failed attempts, success finally!
First 4 times, I added too much liquid and didn't cook it enough.
Still need to perfect the application method though :P
I did it thrice I either get it to slimy or too hard. Don't know what I'm doing wrong can you help me.
+Soniya Jhan it's really trial and error the first few times. try boiling it until it gets brown in colour, but careful not to burn it. add less lemon juice and water than is shown here (I added about 1 TS of lemon and a 2 of water).
once you pour it out of the pan, leave it to cool for a few minutes and bring in the edges with a spoon. if you let it cool, you can handle it without having to wet your hands too much, which would turn everything to a sticky mess (happened to me the first 2 times).
then get on with the kneading.
good luck!
Thank you for replying :)
But I didn't get the part when u said " 1tbs salt and 2 water" u mean two tbs water?? Or two cups.
Also in the video she said cook it until it's golden but you said brown,is urs looks and works the same as this video?
Soniya Jhan 1 table spoon of lemon juice and 2 table spoons of water.
i cooked it golden and it was way too runny and gooey in the end. so, by cooking it until it got amber colored, it worked just like shown in the video. careful though, you can burn it really easily.
and sugar quantity is the same as shown in this video?
Yess finally got the wax right on the fourth try! In case anybody wanted to know, my past failures were because I put too much water in the baking pan, so when I stretched the wax it was slimy and not flexible. To fix this I just put a little water in the baking pan, spread it out, then poured out any excess. Came out great!
I poured it on the table. Guess who was scraping it off for an hour?! Me .
This is so late but your comment made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂
DeKayla Owings Lol Same With Me :P. Except I Gotten My Legs Shaved :D
TotalGamingAddictions :3 I poured mine in a bowl because I'm lazy 😂😂
Same I Didn't Know What I Was Doing, Because I Almost Burned My Face Off. So I Just Put It In A Bowl, Then In The Micro., And Now Its In The Fridge. XD DeKayla Owings
TotalGamingAddictions :3 How did you almost burn your face off 😂😂
How it WORKED for me:
I had to use TWO cups of sugar instead of one. I think the problem is that 1/4 cup water is too much so using less with one cup of sugar, I think will work. I also let it sit for about 3 minutes before trying to scoop it up. I found myself reheating the wax after it would get hard. My first time waxing! Hope this helps.
That was very helpful for me too . The first time I used her measurements & I couldn't kneed it into a ball at all & I'm waiting for it to sit a bit also
Good :) I also found that the exact measurements of salt and lemon are important, I tried it with one cup of sugar but with a little bit of water and it worked better than my first try, the stickiness lasted a lot longer.
Thank you for your feedback! I also made a FAQ video that answer most common questions! >> ua-cam.com/video/FD0nHWJ0Iuc/v-deo.html
This is the most popular hair removal method in Egypt it's called "halawa" or the also call it "sweet" it's the least expensive and most efficiently used and it's been known here for years and years. Thank you for the video!
Pro tip: If you're waxing a place with relatively long hair/a lot of nerve endings, (coughpubescough) be sure to shave a couple days before and only wax the stubble. That way, it'll grab the hair at the very base and it will pull out faster/less painfully, instead of grabbing it at the end and ripping it out
I didn't let it boil long enough, so it isn't hard BUT it works perfectly with wax strips. So if yours was wax consistency but not hard like hers, it can still work :)
Guys just put it in a glass or ceramic bowl. I don't know why the counter worked for her but it's not a must. Just put it in a bowl and let it cool for a bit until you're ready to use it. At least that's what I do and it works.
I watched more than 50 videos on UA-cam since yesterday about sugaring or sugar waxing. This one here was the best and well illustrated without complicating the things like powdering the body or whatsoever.
Thank you!
We call this "shira" in arabic ! We've been using it for a long time and it's pretty good I am hairy amd I have a really thick hair so it's annoying ! So usual stuff will make my hair grow in two days or two weeks .. But shira help for almost a month ! And for those who say it's dangerous no body died cause they waxed their hair with shira xD
Can you help me in it what is the actual recipe of it as other mentions thah it become so sticky after cooling it get hard if you put in microwave it turn liquid same things happened with me two times. And I'm also looking for it can you also tell me how to use it??? Please Please Please !!!!
Nuzhat Batool Well the important ingredients are the same water sugar and lemon (3cup of sugar 1cup of water half a lemon 1tsp flower water) the flower water is just to smooth the skin so if you don't you don't need to put it (mix the water and sugar before heating it) theput it on medium heat and add the lemon juice then after it boils remove it (you can add the water flower here) and wait until it cool then use if it get hard don't put it in a microwave that's wrong (just like melting chocolate put the shira on a bowel and put hot water under it and just when it become less harder remove it don't let it melt and use your hand to make it softer and then take a little from it and use it and when it become sticky add a little water to it
Thanks
Too bad you don't know how to use it xD it's the best way to remove the hair xD
Afnan MT صدقتي
I tried to do it a while back when I first saw this video and when I was heating it one of the bubbles fell onto the stove and it caught on fire so I panicked and accidentally knocked over the rest of the pan and it was so scary omg but I'm going to try again
STAN TALENT STAN DAY6 😂😂😂😂🤣
I love this little hack ,its so cost effective! although I had to use strips it works a mile better than the store bought stuff
after reading all the comments ~ just tried making this, using the 2 tbsp water and 2 tbsp lemon juice, also used a dinner plate to pour and cool. Came out great. Easy to clean. i also noticed that there is lemongrass oil in the lemon juice concentrate i was using which helps keep very pliable so i used a drop of oil on palms to keep it from becoming too sticky ~ thank you everyone
wonderful! im going to try this as soon as i get some lemon juice!
Looks pretty interesting. I would def like to try this.
I was thinking, instead of pouring the wax directly off the stove onto a marble surface and then into your hands.. could it be easier to pour it into a cup or small bowl, which is placed in cold or ice water?
That way its grouped together and won't damage any surfaces or burn your hands.
made my life easy. not expensive, not messy, not much painful, time saving! just need to follow the recipe properly for the right consistency.
When you said it lasted two weeks for some i was in love!!
Tried this, it's effective and less painful. It's quite time consuming and messy in my case but definitely works. I will surely use this method in the future. Thanks for this. :)
*I have been epilating for years and it was time to replace my 5-year-old Emoji unit. After doing research, I settled on this one for speed and ease of use. It performs brilliantly! This has cut my epilating time down by two thirds at least. The unit is pretty large, designed mainly for legs. I used it on my armpits without a problem either, but I wouldn't recommend trying facial or intimate epilating with this one. Some people have complained that it doesn't have a light, but that wasn't a concern for me. The fact that it is a plug-in rather than battery-driven unit was perhaps the greatest selling point for me since it means it will last for years to come. The quality of the build is clear here. Highly recommended if you experienced at epilating.*
AWESOME >> hopeithelps.co/enjoy-emjoi-epilator-reviews/
this is the best video i have seen so far . most videos just show you the ingredients and then the finished wax and you dont know what to do . i never knew that you have to kneed the wax . Thank you so much for making this video
You're welcome!
I use to sugar from 2013-2015 and your video was a big help. I was recently searching for your video to start sugaring again and it was the hardest thing to find. I'm so glad I finally found it because your recipe is the very best.
Thank you dear!
im a guy and i dont feel confident of my belly hair
should i do this ?
sure! if it's really long I'd trim it a bit, but if it's around the same length as her underarm hair, you're golden :)
im okay with my belly hair but its curly even tho i've lose a lot of weight it still looks disturbing
Randy Marsh I'm a guy and I want to get rid of all my belly and armpit hair.
Randy Marsh My husband has a little belly hair that proceeds further down. I find it sexy. Although, if you still do not feel confident about it/ do not like it, WHY NOT wax?! Doesn't matter what gender you are, how much body hair you wish to have is your choice! I would recommend trimming it like Hunter said, just so it does not hurt you as much. Also.. do not follow this video.
Janicijevic_a yea i tried the way they did it in this video it does not work at all , yeah i'll get a trimmer soon but how about shaving ? is it the same as trimming or it will have different result ?
I have the same problem with my under arms ugh
Join the club lol !
Cacao Culture is it safe for the private area.... well i should say does it work for the private area???
Quintia Simmons it does work, but be careful and first test on a small patch on the bikini area, then go deeper if it works. for this area, as the hair is thicker, I strongly recommend that you first pour baby powder (or talc, or corn starch) on the hairs, and remove excess, and then put the wax on. it will be much more easy to the wax to grab on the hair, believe me, because sweat can lead to a poor grab, you know? good luck!
Quintia Simmons probably not a good idea to be using food near your sensitive ph area... idk.
Ameiaru You're not inserting it into the vagina. I pray you're not thinking of waxing anymore that the outer lips. The ph has to do with what goes on inside of the vagina, not something like waxing the outer lips occasionally. And then there is soap and water to remove any residue.
right . best one so far . im going to try this again . hopefully it works on me😩🙏
A washcloth saturated with hot tap water will greatly speed the cleanup process on the counter! This was super helpful, thank you
So I just made this!
The first time i did it, everything was going right until i had to play with it! I wet my hands too often. it became gooey and got every where!
the second time i hardly added any water! I loooooooove the results. The waxing does hurt but the pain is ok. For some reason I didn't get as much wax as she did.
I've seen this done so many different ways and thought I'd give this way my first shot... In one video I watched it showed a hard wax and a soft wax.. after following your video to a "T" I ended up with a soft wax... (kind you'd put a thin layer of on your skin and rip off with a waxing strip or cloth) when I tried running water on my hands in attempt to "cool/harden' the wax it just got mushy and ended up with half of the amount of wax as I cooked... so I put it in a glass jar and popped it in the freezer. hope that does something I can work with. I really don't like soft wax and was so happy to find this "hard" wax as an alternative. will post again if freezer worked... If not then anyone watching this needs to know they should get a candy thermometer heat to 120 C, and proly watch 5 other how to videos to see what all three of them are doing the same...
freezer fail... better off going to store getting waxing strips or better yet go to salon and get sugar wax done if you want it that bad...
Exactly. Caramelized sugar is very hard to control and so much can go wrong. Great vid if you need to wax a small part of your body, but larger areas not so much. Salon or wax strips is a better solution.
A lot of people are saying they failed. It's not just about filling the recipe. It's also about the pand you use. Not sure what pan she has or what it's made of. But the type of pan you use makes a huge difference. When I was in culinary, I made caramel perfect first attempt. At home I did the same exact thing. It never set no matter how long I boiled it. Turns out stainless steel (what we used at school) delivered heat better vs my Paula Deen nonstick pots from Walmart. Not saying this will solve it, but it may help
Damn. Education for this guy. I just wanted to get rid of ear hairs. Now I appreciate what you go through. Like DAMN!
I tried to make room on the counter for this and my moms coffee pot broke... 😒☕
I had to troubleshoot what I was doing wrong making it, but I find that the less water you use to mix it and heat the better because your going to have to nead it with water anyway. but thank you thank you, it took me 4 tries to finally get it right but I did, thanks to your video yours is actually the best video on how to!!😃
I tried it for the first time and it worked! You just have to get the right consistency. For a person like me who haven't tried waxing before and did this method for the first time, I must say that the pain is tolerable. This is great! Thank you!
And oh you just have to make sure that your armpit is dry and not sweaty because it will make your skin slippery which will make it hard for the wax to stick on your skin
Emmie xx Is it painful? please reply i need your help
+Hey Unicorn you'll feel pain but not that damn-it-hurts-a-lot-imma-cry kind of pain. I've never waxed before so I can't really compare the pain when using regular wax and sugar wax but it's pretty tolerable. Trust me :)
Emmie xx Im just 14 and i have armpit hair but how can i not fesl the pain after waxing? :(
Emmie xx I am really scared :(
You can actually buy a huge can of sugar wax for two bucks at my local beauty store. Since I'm in college and don't usually have a lot of time on my hands, the store-bought version is usually my go-to. But over the summer I tried your DIY and I ended up liking your formula better the the store-bought formula! Your version was a lot less painful and lasted a lot longer. I genuinely wish I had the time to make this sugar wax more often! I've got fast-growing hair too. I loved your video!
i love how u can use the same wax on ur underarm... what a good wax!!!
YEAH NO NEED FOR WAX STRIPSC AWESOME
I try and come out perfectly ☺thank you
Thank you so much! I have tried this in the past and it did not work properly because I didn't put enough water in the mixture. This time when I tried it I used your same measurements except I used 1/4 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. After I made the wax I used it on my mom. Her legs were so smooth. Thank so much again
im gonna be honest here... I did awesome with the mixture. got to wax like 4 inches on my leg and then the wax just ended up picking up dead skin instead of my hairs. For those who are attenpting this:
PATIENCE IS KEY!
BEWARE FOR BLISTERS!!
& BE FAST!!!
.........
I am thankful u shared such a method but I might have to keep trying or buy me kit. I got a blister on m finger, you made it look so easy even with the caution lol
i m going to make this today.. Wish me fr Best.. and plx tell me Will Marbl clean in easy way?? because if didn't my Mom will make me wax '!!! 😃
Victoria James best of luck
what If we don't have MARBLE surface tho? 🤔
does the rest of the wax you put in the fridge stay elastic? or do you have to reheat it?
All this time I've been suffering from ugly unwanted hair from my leg's and this worked so soo sooo much. Thanks so much.
omg! i watched your video like 4 times to make sure i will be doing every steps you showed and not miss anything! my first try was successful and it was my first time to wax my armpit hair! im so thankful it worked :) thanks to you!
You're welcome!!
Okay I feel I did everything right until I got to the playing with it part. Mine didn't turn light yellow after playing with it for more than 10min. Instead it was SUPER STICKY like wouldn't get off my hand sticky and I had to keep wetting my hand to get it off. It also is very very soft like if I put it down on a surface it will turn back into a puddle. What did I do wrong??
Atsuko Smiles mine started out super sticky and i kept peeling it off and rerolling without adding water and it turned into the way it did in the video :3
I had solved my issue. It seems I had added too much water. They should mention one should be careful to how much water they add. Even a teaspoon more than needed can alter it so much.
Omg I just did it now and it was soo stiCKY :((((( i wach my Hands after -.- no choice
Mine too! 😭
I did that too! it looked just the vid! then when I started o play with it it never got to the light yellow color and I got super sticky!!!!!!
Does it taste good if you wanted to eat it 😂
Yes 😄 Just take a taste before you remove hair lol. It taste like hard candy
Jordynn Cirrito It's basically caramel with lemon juice added...
Its homemade lemon caramel. People make this to eat.
Abbey and Jordynn hahaha I thought the same thing. It looks like taffy
I love this recipe. plus, if you add ginger and honey, you have cough drops!
Okay as I'm writing this I'm making it, hopefully it works!
GREAT! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I have the exact same problem. I always wanted to try with the sugar paste, but. I didn't know actually how to strip it off and I didn't know actually if it works or not with thick hair like mine.
Yup, just tried this,and thank God I tried it on my leg first,cause if I would've did my pit I would've been steaming mad. It got super sticky, and not in a good way. It got goopy sticky and the more I tried to pull it off the more goopier it got...smh... I won't go into the counter top situation... But I kept laughing at myself because I read someone else's post about how she ate it... Yup, tried that and it was awful!!! 😂 but that didn't stop me from keep trying it though!! Lol I don't know if I thought it would change each time I tried it, but it didn't... Lol so now it's time to hit the showers and hope this stuff melts away!! May try again, but I'm most probably certain that I won't... Lol that's a cup of sugar somebody could've borrowed 😂
Mine came out EXTREMELY sticky, like sticky gum. It never really got stiff like yours appeared to be.
when I first did this it did it too, it's probably because you didn't cook it long enough of let it cool enough or both
you are still lucky , mine came out watery
Out of all the videos I watched about sugaring, your video was the best. Kudos.
Thank you so so much!
I have tried making sugar wax 8 times and it has never worked. I tried your recipe and it turned out perfect. It works so so well and doesn't irritate the skin.
Thank you!
You wanna know something kinda funny? You're kinda making taffy!
That's exactly what I said! I was like sooooooooo you're basically using candy as hair removal
I'm arab and we've been using this waxing method for ages, there is a Lebanese movie called caramel where a bunch of ladies work at a salon and hair removal place and you see them eating it while preparing the mix, it's basically caramel lol
Jenny Etre OMG! I saw that movie too and its the first thing that popped into my head while watching the video! lol
Lmao!!! Carpathianpixie195
hahaha that is exactly what i thought too! XD
When I shave it lasts one day? How does it last 2 days!!?!
2 weeks!!
because when you shave your just cutting the hair sugaring removes it from the root.
+Sajinixx how money time a week I will use them please
Jo Bo Sugaring lasts around 2 weeks
Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. After some trial and error I finally got the wax I needed! Some tips I found helpful was cooking the mixture on medium to low heat and them pouring it onto a cookie sheet that was in the freezer while I was cooking the mixture.
Small tip. You can use parchment paper to place the wax if you need a small pause. It does not stick to it. Its easier.
I messsed up the ingredients LOL so my wax is a waste.
I tried it again but sometimes it is too burnt and turns into a solid like super solid.
LOL be careful while doing this, maybe wasting your time.
But I like this. Looks so easy but not so easy.
but like isnt that messsy ?
this looks soo easier. Needs no cloths and all.
Niyaryca Zoshi indeed!
Niyaryca Zoshi i messed up too..lol
Niyaryca Zoshi I'ts super easy once you nail it. Took me two goes so worth it!
I made a FAQ video that can help you overcome that! >> ua-cam.com/video/FD0nHWJ0Iuc/v-deo.html
THE ONLY THINK I DID RIGHT WAS THE CLEANING OF THE KITCHEN AFTER AAAAALL THAAAT MEES!!!!.... so disapointing.....
Awww sorry to hear that! I made a FAQ video that can help you ! >> ua-cam.com/video/FD0nHWJ0Iuc/v-deo.html
SUCCESS!
-make sure you wet your marble counters or if you have a glass surface(i have a glass chess board)
-I waited until the sugar solution in the pan is a dark golden brown :)
-hot water cleans surfaces, spoons, pans faster
👍 loved that you showed the live demo. It's difficult to do your own arm pits. Way to go!
Awesome video! I have a question, when I poured the hot wax on my butty hole it hurt really bad and left a lot of scarring and blistering, just wondering how to avoid that next time? thanks!
Let it cool down a little more I guess :)
You have to put your booty in the freezer for 10 hours until it's numb, then you may pour the hot wax on your booty. It won't hurt because you can't feel your booty. It will still leave blisters but you can fix those by using ointment. Hope I helped!! :) P.S. I learned this tip from personal experience.
Lexi Love lol :)
Lexi Love I'm Dead Lol!! Just made my day!!
Sharz B Should I lubricate the frozen wax dildo before inserting it or just go in dry?
anybody tried eating the wax instead of using it for the underarms? lol
it actually tastes nice..like candy
mine tasted disgusting haha :D
jjaa i did ! i don't know why mine work for about 30 seconds and it got really sticky! idk if i was sweaty or what but this is my 3rd time and im going nuts
you just need to add more lemon juice, it makes it less sticky
bruv i trid dat on an apple i thought i was the only one that thought it can be food
This was one of the most informative video in youtube for this method.Great recipe for soft halawa wax!
Thanks for actually having hair that you could see in the demonstration. I've watched 5 others where they remove hair from the forearm and you can't see anything. Do you do your eyebrows with it? That's what I'm interested in.
alright cool, im going to try this out on my ass hair
BaNoodle Cat lmao saaaame
Did it work?
this comment i - 😂
So tell us how it works?
mine was sooo messy. when i pulled away. its stayed on the skin. what did i do wrong?
Same thing happened to me .. Smn Heeeelllpppp us
ugh they make it look so simple
which direction are you pulling the sugarwax? try putting the sugarwax on "against the grain" and then pull it off to the direction the hair is growing, if you pull it upwards (even just a little bit) it does nothing.. try using teeny tiny ripping motion :)
Stammyify its also when I'm making it. it is to liquidy when I'm stretching it around. after a little while it just starts to feel like regular wax that you use with a strip
Claudia Thevarge
i couldn't do it like she does on the video but i pur it into a glass jar when its hot (heat the jar in hot water first so the chances it explodes are smaller) and then i let it cool for a couple of hours and when i want to use the sugarwax i put the jar into a hot water bath so the wax softens just enough to allow you to take a bit out of the jar, then stretch the ball you are going to use.. the sugar hardens when you let it cool in the jar :)
Second attempt was a success! Bikini Line and Armpits went well with this!
Thats awesome u showed us that it actually works on armpits, so im assuming it will work down there, as i just did my own brazilian and arm pits with GiGi wax and it is excruciating every time, not to mention messy and im always cleaning wax of my bathroom floor. im going to try this ! Thanks !
Waxing does not prevent ingrown a and bumps. Also the technique in this video is sugaring. She should not have reapplied the sugar to the same area multiple times. Sugaring exfoliates. Meaning it's taking skin with it every pass. Her technique may cause hyperpigmentation, in other words the skin will darken in response to repeated abuse to the same area.
Thank you! Exactly my point.
+MariluzLaluz You must be a fellow esty :)
Koinu Lunatic Actually no sugar wax is safe so you can wax the same areas more than once, other waxes besides sugar wax are more abrasive so it can cause bruising
I tried to make this.. but doesn't work.. it is melting.. unable to make it dough..
I made this yesterday and came out perfect, used almost half of it now I have smooth legs. Thank you for sharing your recipe I'm so glad I saw this video
thanks for the super detail demo. it's not that other vids are bad but I can't barely see the hair they're waxing. thanks a lot!!
Mine started going gooey after awhile of pulling my hair out.. Any tips?
Throw it away, you can't use the same piece forever. After it starts falling apart like that, you've used it to it's max.
how many min till it turn to yellowish/golden colour? cuz i keep on failing to make it
about 13 maybe
I made a FAQ video that can help you overcome that! >> ua-cam.com/video/FD0nHWJ0Iuc/v-deo.html
i can't believe ppl needed to a tutorial for this.I've been doing this sugar wax since I was 10, I learned it from my mom who learned it from grandma ect.. it's very old, healthy & effective way to remove hair. I didn't try to add salt before but we only use sugar, water & lemon & it works just fine
How do you make yours please tell me
Lupe Guerrero a cup of sugar, a cup of water & a spoon of lemon juice. Heat them tgt until the sugar melts & the liquid starts to get brownish. With a spoon take a little bit of the liquid & put it on a cold surface until it gets cold & u can pick it up with ur fingers. Squeeze it with ur fingers, if it's still not hard enough let it heat some more & try again and if it's too hard and u can't squeeze it easily put some water into the mixture. When it become hard enough but still easy to squeeze put the mixture on a plate (dont use anything plastic) and let it cool down then gather it with a spoon and start molding it in ur hand until it become like the one in the video and then start using it. I hope this helped :)
I got it right on second attempt! Great video, to the point, and good recipe!! Amazing how a little goes a long way, this portion will last me the year at least! Thank you :)
i tried it... i'm really disapointed!!! it was not hard, it was really sticky. i did it twice, cuz i thought that i did something wrong. But again it was no hard and it was sticky. i could not use it. sure i will not try it again!
I have tried 7 times but I still can't get it to work I take it out of the pan and I fold the corners in but when I put it in my hands it just sticks to me and is like a honey mixture. I am not sure if my mix is right or how long I boil it or when do put it in my hands :( :(
Me too :(
Awesome, I will keep my arms hairless more often now since I can do this. I hate shaving, but this I can do. Thank you for sharing!
I made this today successfully. Thanks a lot.
Water DOESN'T dissolve wax! This is really important! If you let true wax (as in wax made from oils) get down your drain, it'll get stuck inside the pipes and clog them! This 'wax' isn't actually a wax at all, as there are no oils in it, it's just that sugar gets sticky when it is melted. Sugar is dissolved by water, but wax isn't!
Thank you for your comment! What I refer to as 'WAX' in this video is SOLELY the SUGAR WAX i'm making, NOT any other. It is a very good point you brought up, because people should keep that in mind and not take it as a generality. Thank you!
dude calm down
My shave only lasts half a day ha.
I tried this today. ..everything in the video seemed true. Im glad i found this video. Less pain of course..thank you so much for sharing this method...❤️❤️❤️
You are very welcome!
THANK YOU! So many of my friends have thin or blonde hair. The struggle of dark hair and lots of it is unreal.
I've tried this 4 times and each time it's failed
Jennan327 same. I’m so annoyed. I followed her instructions exactly and both times I ended up having to use a thin towel as a wax removing strip because the consistency never got right/it never turned into a pliable, elastic ball 😡 never making this recipe for sugar wax again, it was terrible
I made a FAQ video that can help you overcome that! >> ua-cam.com/video/FD0nHWJ0Iuc/v-deo.html
Didn't work, too liquidy. I tried it again using less liquid and still way to liquidy. Waste of ingredients
I have the same problem!!! And I tried more than 4 times!!! More water, less water, more sugar, less sugar... But always is the same thing :/
When ur cooking it make sure u have a cold glass of water and occasionally drop a little of the mixture in it or u can us the sink just put ur spoon under the faucet. if the sugar hardens in a ball at the bottom take it and try to stretch it with your fingers or on the spoon. Make sure it's not to slippery or to hard that it wont budge. it has to have a stretchy constancy like taffy. Then ur done. Also to make things less messy put it in a heat safe container with a lid that u can put your hands in to take some out. If u only have plastic containers ur going to have to get a big bowl, run cold water in it and to place the container in, to cool it off don't get the water inside ur wax. Once ur sure it wont melt the plastic stick it in the fridge or let it sit for an hour before use.
It kept melting between my fingers.
Anna Ly you have to concentrate on the kneeding process dear :)
Priyanka Surve I tried to kneed it but no matter how much water I used it stuck to my hands and wouldnt thinken
After 2 times of failing it FINALLY worked!
after the third time trying it, I finally am successful with doing it. I waxed my under arms and it only took about 10 mins maybe less. this video helped alot.
