DIY ♥ Sugaring Wax Recipe and Tutorial

- YES, FOR SUGARING YOU APPLY OPPOSITE GROWTH, AND PULL IN THE DIRECTION OF GROWTH. ♥ Questions? Read FAQs in the description! ♥
Here are two different methods of using sugaring for 100% natural, safe hair removal. I find sugaring to be far less painful than regular waxing, and more convenient than shaving. Just remember to cleanse properly, hold the skin taut to avoid bruising, and exfoliate properly for a few days after sugaring for best results.
FAQs:
♥ DOES IT HURT?
-It does hurt a little, but less than regular waxing.
♥ WILL MY HAIR GROW BACK THICKER OR DARKER?
-No. When you use this method repeatedly your hair will actually grow back thinner over time because you are damaging the hair follicles, and you won't ever get stubble from it, because you're not cutting the hair, so what does grow back will be silkier. The color won't change.
♥ AREN'T YOU DOING IT WRONG????
-No, for sugaring you apply opposite hair growth, and pull off with hair growth. This is the opposite method of other types of waxing. This pulls the hair straight out, which prevents ingrown hairs.
♥ DO I NEED LEMON JUICE?
-You can substitute another type of citrus juice, or vinegar
♥ DO I NEED WHITE SUGAR?
-I'm not sure that I would suggest other types of sugar other than granulated white sugar. It will behave differently and may burn.
♥ IT'S HARD AS A ROCK! HELP!
-If it's too dark, and hard as a rock when it cools, you overcooked it. Keep an eye on the color. You can try adding some lemon juice and heating it a little, but it may just be candy at this point.
♥ IT'S WATERY! HELP!
-If it's too light, and runny/watery, you haven't cooked it long enough. Keep an eye on the color. Put it back on the stove until the bubbles are light brownish yellow, and the mixture looks like honey.
♥ HOW LONG DOES MY HAIR NEED TO BE?
-You hair should be about a cm long for this to work, but you may be able to make it work with a little less. If your hair is very long, I suggest trimming in sensitive areas first.
♥ CAN I USE IT ON MY FACE/ARMPITS/LADYBITS/TAINT/TOE HAIR?
-Yes, you can use it on your face, armpits, and lady parts. Be careful not to burn yourself, and pull your skin taut to prevent bruising. Work in SMALL sections for sensitive areas like these. Try it somewhere beefier first, like your thigh. Some people bruise more easily than others if their skin isn't pulled taut.
♥ IS IT PERMANENT?
-For most people this lasts about 3-4 weeks, but your hair will gradually grow back thinner and thinner the more you use it.
♥ WHAT KIND OF FABRIC DO YOU USE?
-I just cut an old torn bed sheet into strips, but I recommend cotton, or any medium weight, non-stretchy fabric.
♥ CAN I USE SOMETHING OTHER THAN FABRIC FOR STRIPS?
-I haven't tried it. Probably not.
♥ CAN I EAT IT?
-Yes, you technically can eat it. Weirdo.
♥ HOW LONG DOES IT KEEP?
-You can store it for several months in the fridge. I've stored it for over three months with no issue, but I usually run out before then.
♥ CAN I KEEP IT IN A PLASTIC JAR?
-You can store it in plastic, glass, whatever you can safely pop in the microwave for a few seconds.
♥ CAN I MAKE IT IN A MICROWAVE?
-I don't recommend making this from the beginning in the microwave. You need a stove.
♥ I RUINED MY POT/BOWL/COUNTER/FLOOR/SPOON! HELP!
-Just soak it in water to get the sugar off of anything it may be stuck to. It'll come off. I promise.
♥ I BURNED MYSELF! HELP!
-First, I told you to be careful. Second, put aloe on it. ♥

Hi, I'm Kat, and I make lots of DIY videos, about everything from DIY jewelry, home decor, gifts, and crafts, to Gluten Free recipes, No-poo hair care, DIY hair extensions, how to make sugaring wax and arabic wax for natural hair removal, and how to make a bracelet out of a toothbrush. Here you can watch videos about friendship bracelets, whitening your teeth with activated charcoal, or even skip on over to my second channel for Story Time videos and vlogs!
Shiny, Pretty Things!
Like, honestly...everything is in the video and the description. But on updated videos I put WAY MORE INFO for the people who don’t follow instructions well, and half the comments on those videos are “Skip to 4:32 for recipe”, and the other half are the people who skipped the instructions and are coming back to bitch about it. 😂😂😂 TH-cam is the worst.
Every time we warm it up it is still too hot to apply and gets too sticky whenever I tried it for soft wax
Why even reply to the negativity? People will always try to negate blame whenever and whichever they can.
This wax works perfectly for me and I followed ALL your instructions. Been using it for a year now. Thanks a bunch! 🖤
Your comment was the first I read after watching your video and I'm honestly shocked that you've gotten negative comments. I was just thinking to myself how thorough and informative your video was. That bit about heating the glass container was such a small detail but I had no idea about that. Thumbs up from me!
I've seen a lot of these tutorials and ive tried this method many times, you're definitely the one who explains it bets. Thanks a bunch 👌🏻
Does this work on lady parts? Will it cause ingrown hairs and does it really last weeks???
Eating my failed wax while watching this video to see where I went wrong
I'M DEAD LOL
This deserves more likes
🤭🤣🤣
Mine didn't thicken. Im doing the other girls video on a smaller batch.

For a pain free wax you can first put an icepack on the area for a minute and then wax trust me it really works
Rachna Bais thank you so much!
Thanks sis
@@beautyandtheoffbeats you are welcome dear
Take ibuprofen as well
Ooooh yes!! Thank you!! I've been walking around looking like Chewbacca cuz I'm a big baby but also I hate shaving 🤣
Here’s what you need to know:
This works, but you have to do some things that are not mentioned in the video.
1. Mix the sugar, water, and lemon juice well before placing it on the stove.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil on med-high but DO NOT LET IT BOIL OVER. This literally burned through my stove because I didn’t know. It’s properties make it like lava.
3. Once you see it at a verge of boiling over, pick the pot up and reduce to a lower temperature then place it back down. You still want it hot enough that the bubbles form. I ended up boiling for about 10-12 minutes to get that honey color.
4. I had to wait about 30 minutes for my mixture to cool before being able to use it. I made the soft wax version.
Hope this helps!
For cloth can I cut up a old shirt and use that
Wait hw do ik its boiling over-
@@bangchannieslaptop2375 if it is about to boil over the pot
@@huzam2340 yes
@@shyannepowers3178 yes, just make sure it's a tight woven one, like a standard t shirt.
As a 15 y/o middle eastern girl who’s had to do hair removal from home because of quarantine, I can confirm that it actually works for thick, dark hairs too. It took me a while to get the right temperature and consistency figured out but once you get it ITS SO WORTH IT TRUST ME (using soft wax)
can i use it to remove my facial hair
@@ayimbo7423 yes, just be gentle when taking it off
@@ayimbo7423 yes, you can use it for your whole body. I even did a Brazilian wax at home with soft wax.
Did you make the soft wax or the hard wax?
Edit: Oops sorry didn't read the end lol
What if I don't have lemon?
Who else is scrolling down the comments to see if this actually works

That’s incorrect. Hair grows back thicker from shaving but actually thinner after waxing or sugaring
@@baby.goblin this is completely false! There is no evidence to show that removing hair causes it to grow back thicker, darker, or longer. This is a myth.
@@baby.goblin That incorrect, it depends on the person. I've done it plenty of times and if anything my hair grows back slightly thinner and softer.

People with blonde body hair are so lucky..
_Too bad mine is black_
I don't even know why ppl with blonde body hair even bother removing it
Evelyn Howard when the sun hits it just right, the blonde hairs illuminate like a disco ball (seriously, not joking). And also, we don’t remove hair because people can see it, we remove it because it’s uncomfortable when leg hair gets pinched in clothes or I get goosebumps and the hair is rubbing on my clothes. And besides, who doesn’t love smooth legs?!!
Evelyn Howard feels annoying when you wear shorts
Sianna Raymond my hair is blonde but my body hair is B L A C K
I bet you've got really good eyebrows though :)
I've been using this recipe for 3 years. When using this keep in mind that it's going to take the wax at least half an hour to cool. You can mix it around in the jar to cool it quicker. I'd recommend applying baby powder to the area first. It helps the wax attach to the hair better. Coconut oil or witch hazel afterwards will help with any irritation!
How does your hair grow back
@@prudencehalwiindi5030 I mainly use on my underarms--it grows back finer and every time is easier to remove. I'd also HIGHLY recommend using a sugar scrub when shaving or just doing away with dead skin. Even if I'm not removing hair, I'll use one. Just combine sugar and coconut oil into a soft consistency. That'll help with ingrown hairs.
@t a s y o t you need to let it cool down, get a thicker consistency if you want to to attach to any of you hair.
Can i keep the soft sugar wax for a month?
@@cinnamon6401 Yes, I keep the jar until it's al gone. Just store with a lid to keep any lint out. You can reuse it by setting the jar in boiling water on the stove like a double boiler
I'M SO SHOCKED IT WORKED BC I NEVER DO THINGS PROPERLY WOW THANK U
You did well, Jonghyun does it hurt??
Did the hair grows thicker and darker??
Any update?
Hello?
Gjana? How many times you did sugar waxing? Are you still continuing it?
Listen up, this might save your life. Okay, if you burn the wax or accidentally do it wrong, it probably will stick to the pot. Don't worry, to get it out run the pot under really hot tap water, then pour the tap water out. Repeat this process until the pot is clean. This happens because as the wax is heated, it melts and turns into liquid form, plus the water makes it so it can be poured down the drain. Preferably do this in a stainless steel sink.
If you accidentally spill it on a counter top, floor, or another hard surface, don't worry this can be also cleaned. Just wet a rag until it is really hot and then rub the surface really hard. Keep repeating until all of the wax is gone, then dry it. If you do this the rag or cloth will probably have wax stuck on it, so just let it soak in really hot water. The wax should melt off the cloth, if it doesn't then it should be soft enough to peel off.
Hope this helps someone!!!
Very helpful - thank you!!
FYI - DON'T do this in your drian. Think about it. That hard wax is going to be melty for only a small while. It's going to cool and get stuck in your drain. Fill the pan halfway with water and boil the water. Dump the boiling water in your yard. Repeat as necessary.
You can also just add a little water to the pan and put it back on the stove. Heat it up slowly until the steam loosens it from the pan. This is the same thing that you do to remove boil overs from IR electric stoves.
Aes Sedai you shouldn't have to worry about that, because of you use hot enough water it's going to dissolve. Even if it dosen't - it's not going to stay in the pipes forever, the water repeatedly going through will wash it away with time.
thanks
Long story short, I made this.. My experience went terrible lol. So I was boiling it until it was yellowish. I was following every instruction. The thing is, I used a plastic container instead of a glass container. (Bad idea... ) I poured my wax into my container and it overflowed . I started freaking out. It went on my counter down to my floor. I grabbed a hot rag and started scrubbing. Then I look up at the counter and I realize my container MELTED!! It got even worse!! I put the container outside so it could cool off. When I was taking it outside I was dropping it everywhere! ( I was barefoot ). Then I run back inside and stepped on the wax. (It burned like hell!) so I finished cleaning the kitchen. Then I go outside to grab my container. (I'm so dumb for not putting it in the trash.. ) The wax is everywhere outside!! I grab my container and it's still hot, the wax got all over my fingers. I got some bad burns. I then clean up all the mess I made. My parents weren't home so I cleaned everything before they were gone. I did end up with some bad burns but luckily I had shea butter to stop the inflammation. 😂😫
The exact same thing happened to me lmfaoo
Damn girl😂😂😭
😂
😂😂😂 omg girl that sounded horrific!!! Lol I pray our daughter doesnt try stuff like this when were not home. I would be more worried about her burns then my clean kitchen. Hope they healed well with no scarring mija
I'm dead 😂😂😂
When you are boiling it have a glass of water beside and every now and then drip a little wax in the water it you can se it doesn't melt and forms a little ball, it is done...
And if it doesn’t? What do you suggest??
@@Deelitee keep boiling
Is this for hard or soft?
are the little balls meant to be soft or hard?? mine were rock hard
If i had hair like yours i would never shave or wax
Mussarat I thought that too until I saw it was her arm.
Mussarat i have the hairiest arms and legs in the land.......
Mussarat THANK YOU I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO SAY THAT!!!
They're probably so thin because she waxes often lol they always come back finer
isnt it the opposite
Everbody telling their experiences and i'm just wondering if i can eat it....
imma like myself
You can eat it. You are essentially making lemon candy. Which is at the soft pull state. You can eat it as long as you didn't Use it to remove your hair before you start munchin on the sugar ball
Brenda Gr , i was thinking of the same thing 😂😂
Omg same😂

Same for the first time when I tried it, wondered what it would taste like and ate all of it by mixing some apple in it.. Tasted like caramelized apple lol😂😂

I cooked this first time last night. It was too late for me to wait for it to cool down and try and so I went to sleep and anxiously anticipated to use it next day. I just finished my first leg and it i s AMAZING!!!! Way less pain than with regular wax, and takes out my dark hair perfectly!
My advice is to pay attention when it is cooking to stop it at the right time - very light brown/golden color.
Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe Kat!
"I dont care if you went to cosmetology school" LOL she went in on yo asses
😂😂😂
when does she say that, I watched it 3 times and I can't find it
shiroikiba Its a comment in text, try 2:50 or around there
Honestly, 50% of the comments on here are from people who can't read, and think this is exactly the same as waxing, when I clearly explained that it's not. >.< Sometimes I get irritable.
crying!!!
I love how she tests her wax on tiny almost invisible blonde hair...kind of hard to tell how effective this is lol
Right ! Idk if it even works
It works
i tried it it works
😂
Liss Paezzi exactly
EVERYONE: I tried to make this 4 times but every time it got to hard to use properly. I failed so much until the one time I DIDNT MIX IT WHILE IT WAS BOILING! Mix it before it starts to bubble but once it does don’t touch it!!! Just wait till it turns gold/yellow (not brown) Then take it off the stove and turn it on it side and wait for the bubbles to die down by mixing and check the colour. Then let it thicken for about 15-20 minutes in the fridge. Then make sure it’s not hot and knead it. At first it will seem too sticky to work but once you start working it with your fingers you will notice it will start to work like you see in the videos!! Also you can keep this for a while! And just heat it up a little bit when you want to use it! Hope this helped!
How long do you reheat it for for future use
@@xlovergirlx1 you dont because it never hardens
@@karaj9352 but what if it does
Kara Bear yeh. It never hardens. And. Doesn’t work
I've tried a bunch of times and it failed each time. The mixture is not hard enough to use. I've wasted a lot of supplies for this 😬
I used this video and it worked well for the hard wax. A few things went differently for me making the hard wax: I had to wait about 45-50 min for it to be cool enough and be thick enough to use. It took about 5-8 min for it to harden enough on my skin to pull off. I learned the hard way that if it isn't hardened (which I judged by tapping it with my nail and hearing a clicking sound and my nail leaving no indent) it was extremely painful and didn't really remove hair. That being said the ones that did cool and harden were relatively painless, ofc I followed the direction of growth and ripped that crap off as fast as I could. Some areas I had to go over twice and found I could reuse the same glob of sugar wax if I made it into a pancake and pinned the lower end down and spread the pancake upward using the other hand with a good amount of pressure, let it sit for a couple minutes, and could get the stray hairs. This is my first time ever waxing and I did it myself, it turned out pretty well using this tutorial but tweaking it along the way. It is possible to successfully sugar wax using this video and not burn the house down or anything.
i tried this after 20 mins it becm into candy..i ate it😢
Đora me😂😂
Lol omg me too😅😅
Sam here 😂😂

Lol same
i’ve been doing this since the beginning of the year with this recipe and my armpit hair & bikini area is way thinner and less painful. i’m gonna now attempt to do the entire Brazilian area wish me luck lmao
Ariana Update?!?!
are you still alive
Ariana rumor is she attempted to do it diy it
and burned her house and is in the hospital this very day
@@damonsalvatore2581 yes but I am almost certain her lady parts hold a resemblance to freddy Krueger 😱😂😂😂
Do you use hard wax or soft wax??
why is everyone in the comments making this while everyone is asleep 😭
its one of those things that sounds like a good idea only at two am
I think I will too
I'll do it at night 🤞 hope it goes well with me too
bout to check for the ingredients, its 3am
And here I'm, where my mumma and siblings are sitting to check it on me if it works or not! No sleeping nothing hidden :p

YAY shawn
Hi fam
yup

I just tried this yesterday. I made a small batch for experimenting with. It worked amazingly! It was way better than the waxes I've purchased at the store. I think it even hurt less.
It's great because it's extremely easy to clean up - just use hot water! The store bought waxes were always so difficult to clean up - almost impossible in some cases.
I'm using the rest of my test batch right now. Just pop it in the microwave and you're good to go!
This is now my go-to hair removal method.
Also, whoever in the comments suggested coffee filters to use as strips is a lifesaver - they worked great!
Tessa Does it hurt??
Cloudless MSP No it doesn't hurt.
It's difficult to get the exact consistency. Once its done, its best wax I have h
Ever seen
Tessa on a scale of 1-5 what would you rate the pain?
what is recommended? the hard wax or soft wax? which once hurts less but is more effective?
Which one did you use? Hard or soft wax?
So ummm. My mum said... “do you smell something burning??” And I said “nooooo..” I went in the kitchen and it was black. I threw the pan away in the dumpster so she won’t see. Ugh I’m dumb pls only boil it for 4 mins. I now have 5 candles going and a fan on full speed. Be careful
Edit: woa was not expecting 400 likes. Thx
😂😂😂😂😂 lol!
Don't leave your wax. I ever like that too...
While reading your comment ,I did the same thing 😂😂 lol
Alwayd stay with your pans if your cooking something
ur average teen subliminals yeah I learned that 😂 luckily my mum was taking a nap while sick so she didn’t get up lol
For people with questions. She ANSWERED them in the description box.
JZellie where is the description box?
hey, thank you :)
Alisa Cohen serious?
*Me while reading the title* : wow!! I'm totally going to do this!!
*Me after reading the comments* : nope
No, give it a try. At first I tried the hard one and didn't work, but the soft wax, when you get the right point of cook, is so great. The pain is ok compared to the Brazilian wax (I'm Brazilian, I know what I'm talking about), it's cheap, it lasts for almost a month. Just take some time for do it, but no further complains.

Thank you💀
Thank you so much for this video! I substituted caster sugar for the white granular sugar. This worked for me the first time I made it and is the best wax I've ever made! I watched your video a few times, taking note of the actual colour of the sugar wax. I used the 2nd one, with strips from an old, thick, non-stretchy white sheet. I was sitting on a chair at my stove, just stirring with a whisk, letting the mix sit, bubble, stirring it continuously as it bubbled. When the colour began to turn yellow, a very light yellow, I kept an eye on it, because I wanted it to turn a pale honey. When it did turn a lovely pale gold, I removed the pan from the stove, removed my jar from the oven (on low), and poured in the sugar wax. As it cooled on the kitchen bench, the colour deepened and it got thicker and thicker. The final product was perfect, but amber coloured and slightly thicker than regular honey. So next time I'll do the same, look for colour not thickness of the mix, because as it sits and cools it gets thicker. I used bottled lemon juice and regular tap water. I mixed it with a whisk and let it sit for about 15 minutes before heating, too.
thanks for indicating the difference between the hard and soft wax!

We are taught the same way you showed in this video in cosmetology. Those people who do it the wrong way are imposters! My cosmetology teacher showed us this video to the class when we were learning, and I NEVER WATCH another video. I love how direct/to the point you are!
Yeah except she switched the part where you apply IN the direction of hair growth the remove AGAINST the growth.
There’s other ways to sugar as well. I wasn’t taught to use strips or treat it like hard wax. I was shown just to flick the paste itself. Works wonders.
@@jbee1116 I know this comment is 4 years old but it's the opposite. For sugar waxing, you always want to apply the wax the opposite direction of the hair THEN pull it with the direction of the hair.
This is the best homemade wax tutorial! I've made it a couple of times and it came out perfect! I don't have a measuring cup so I just measured using a tablespoon (16 tbsp=1 cup 4 tbsp = 1/4 cup)
You can reuse your cloth strips by setting them in water and peeling wax right off or just let it dissolve, then wash cloths to use another time.
This worked so well! I tried to make sugar wax years ago and had to throw the whole pan away. Followed your video and had great results.
I set my pot on fire while doing this while everyone’s sleeping 💀
Yes I am I’ve done it with ramen noodles before
💀💀💀💀💀 Rolling
😂😂😂
I nerly ser my kitchen on fire 😂😂😂😂
i put the wax on a knife and then poke it and my finger set fire lmfoabxishzs
I tried the soft wax and omg!!it is magic. If you're doubting, please try it. I've tried hundreds of recipes but these one ACTUALLY worked. I tried it on my legs(fist time I shave my legs) and it worked amazingly. Plus it didn't hurt. If you're having trouble getting it to the right consistency, just keep boiling it and you'll see.
I tried the soft one on my arm and it hurts like hell somw parts wouod bleed a bit and I got some bruises
Hey do you know if I can just get lime juice ?
Graciela Flores If you're bleeding, you've done it the wrong way or you have the wrong consistency. You shouldn't bleed at all, nor should it hurt like hell.
I just love how we as women use words like "rip off" when it comes to maintenance lol. Guys have it so easy. I'll try this next!

To all: make soft wax. also you can store it for later and put the glass bottle in a pot full of hot water for reheating (for about 5-10 mins). you'll notice it's a little watery which is good. i made this perfectly on the 1st try, it's not that hard. don't go word for word by this recipe, use your own common sense as to how hot it should be and for how long.
thats the problem i dont have that kind of common sense
midnight cupid same
@@LyraPyxisVT 😂 yup I'm with you there!
Quarantine comment!!! I did the hard wax version - what you had was correct, but the last step before using it on your skin was to knead it a little. Take the blob off the knife and play with it like taffy to make it malleable THEN spread. This way it stays gummy and you can use the same blob a bunch of times 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Gonna try this way after this heatwave blows over.
I cut up coffee filters and use that as stripes and they work fine. 6/2017 update they look and feel like the paper stripes you buy in waxing kits.
Never thought of that. Great idea!
Oooh thank you! I was trying to find something around the house I could use!
You can also use a cotton t-shirt and cut it into strips, after use soak them in hot soapy water and air dry
sasha morgan that is actually really smart... thank you
You can use paper
To make the waxing less painful try soaking the area that you want to wax in water for 1 or 2 minutes this way the hair follicles are way more loose and it will be less painful
Being an amateur pastry chef I reccomend not to stir the "caramel" while it's boiling, you can move your pot a bit but don't use ANYTHING to mix is, especially not a cool inox spoon. You can use a sugar thermometer and usually. You can make the soft ball at 240°F (117 F°) and a hardball for hard wax at 261°F (128°C)
aeileen why can’t we use a spoon
Mileen air gets in which can end up making it into a hard candy compared to a wax
Ashley Nicole i see! thank yoi
Would a meat thermometer work?
@thisbitch 123 in soft ball the sugar does not get brown
Girl, if I had your blond body hair I’d never even shave.
Great simple diy instructions! I cook my wax (strip wax) slower than what she does. That's where a lot of ppl go wrong too much heat too quick will ruin a batch, it's better to cook slower turning up the heat slowly, once you have made it a few times you get the hang of where the heat needs to be at on your stove 👍
True
Oh is that why mine wouldn’t harden and just felt like honey after it cooled down??
Laura_Tik- Tok_Artist bcos god wants u to eat it😂
Hard sugaring worked for me. After only 2 applications, my hair grows back in wayyy thinner and less frequently on my underarms and pubic area. Only thing is the sugaring process itself takes a long time and can be painful in the pubic area but it was worth it for me. Also, you can refrigerate and reheat any unused portion until next week or so
Whats your best method to reheat?
I like how everyone’s concern is about burning their house while mine is how the hell do I heat up my jar so I won’t break any jars so my mom can’t get me in trouble

like omg yesss like i honestly don’t want to get my ass beat for breaking a jar 💀💀
Liliana ikr like I don’t need to have a beating for something idk if it will be worth for
Put it in a hot bowl of water .-.
Soak the jar in hot water, that should heat it up enough.
Alright, clear the chickens off the runway. I tried the hard wax on my bikini line and here's what happened:
First, it came out perfectly at 6.5 minutes (electric stove, half batch). I allowed it to cool and followed all instructions. When first attempting to apply, I noticed that it was a bit stringy when coming out of the container; this is the nature of sugar, so though it was annoying, it couldn't be helped. Putting it on, however, was a challenge: By waiting until it was cool enough not to burn, I found that it wouldn't spread well. My inaugural lump just pulled hair, made me yelp a little, and had me reconsidering this whole thing.
Nonetheless, I persevered. To get it to actually spread, I had to let it stay hot. Not quite depths of hell hot, mind you, but the sort of heat you'd expect driving up to the gates. I spread a streak on the northern tree line, whimpered and wriggled around a little bit as I waited for it to solidify, and then grasped the end to pull.
It should be noted here that I have a high pain tolerance. I once cut out my own ingrown toenail with nothing but a pocketknife, nail scissors, and a shot of Fireball. Anyway, I held my skin taut and ripped the wax off. The noise I made was something like if one of those whistling tea kettles came to life and uttered a battlecry. Gasping for air, I studied the wounded area and saw that 1) yes, the wax was definitely hot enough to burn my skin, and 2) ONLY HALF THE HAIR CAME OFF.
Not knowing if the fault lay with me or this caramel of hell, I proceeded to try again. And again. And six more times because damn it, I am not a quitter and I do NOT waste sugar. Not once did the strip actually lift all the hair. The end result looked like my kitty had mange and a sunburn. I came away from the experience with a sticky pot, a lighter bag of sugar, and a healthy dose of regret.
0/10, do not recommend.
haha!
Please write a book! That had me laughing
ROLFMAO!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You should be an author!!!
You're writing skills dazzle me. I hate you had such a terrible experience. But at the same time your colorful writing allowed me to envision your experience.
Wow! Are you my L.A teacher?!
It's an old arabic way called halawa it's much better than shaving and healthier by regular using the hair will get less and less .... I have been using it since I was 14 ..... BUT don't recommend using it on your face because it will cause wrinkles and loose skin especially around the eyebrows and mouth
GREAT VIDEO and I usually buy it but will definitely try making at home thnx
ramrom 95sy how does it cause wrinkles
Hershy Dog you're pulling the skin with the hair .... by time the skin will get looser because the face skin is thine and sensitive ; believe me I have seen it and it's not cute 🙅 .
Personally I use tweezers and threading for my eyebrows and only threading for the area around my mouth (I don't want to say mustache 😅😅)
ramrom 95sy oh thank you for the tips, I was going to try waxing but now that I know I will try tweezing my eyebrows, again Thank you
Hershy Dog You can try it on your body (arms , armpits , legs , bikini lines) , and you're more than welcome 😊😊
Someone told me you shouldn't use it on your face and I was wondering why!!! Makes sense. Thanks for letting us know. Now only if I could get good at threading... Lol
i’ve been doing this with RAW sugar for years, still works! you just gotta mix it w the lemon for longer before boiling it
"Yes you can it eat. Weirdo" XDThanks for the vid, I think this one is my favorite by far and I'll be using your steps
Tavros Mitral fUCK to o menos and r you
I was literally asking this, thinking I could be a smart ass... lol.
Tavros Nitram '.
I’ve tried many different types of waxes and none of them compare to this one!! The soft wax works like a charm + is FAR less painful + cost efficient ❤️ thank you!
I just attempted the hard wax. I used a relatively small bowl, which caused it to boil over. Which proceeded to burn on my stove and make a cloudy mess of my house. Make sure to use a big enough bowl. I repeat. Make. Sure. To. Use. A. Big. Enough. Bowl.
Samantha Goodwin thank you
Oh my gosh. Same thing happened to me. The burnt sugar bubbles took FOREVER to scrub off of my stove.
Samantha Goodwin just happened to me :/
I tried it for the first time..and it was a fail! but the second time, it actually worked! kept doing this and found out that this removed unwanted hair permanently! like omg! this is so great!
Really sugaring removed your hair permanently ??
@@palwashafatima2236 yes it did! But it took time like about a whole year and a half of sugaring
But if this doesn't work for you..try spearmint tea.
@@drpallavikumar6297 why
@@palwashafatima2236 cause it lowers testosterone but like i said everything takes time :)
Thank u for this vid!!! It worked so well!
Things u might wanna look out for:
1.make sure you the weakness and highest settings of your stove.
2.put it on medium heat.
3.dont leave on the stove for too long or it will turn into a gross candy.
4.take it off the stove when it is yellow and about to turn gold.
5.let it cool a little.
I found these tips helpful... hope they help others.
By the way cooking times are different for other stoves.
I've tried this before and I love the fact that everything is all natural and free within your house!😊 I think both methods are great and its 10 times better than shaving...I'd recommend this to anyone who may have more sensitive skin or if you're over the shaving.....Thank you for sharing!💜
Me: oh this looks fun!
*Proceeds to make it*
Me: *sees it bubbling then it bubbles onto the burner*
Me:oH ShEt *smoke goes everywhere fire alarms going off and waking my family at 4am*
Me:*goes under a rock and never tries new things again*
Dude same..its 2am and i broke a glass bowl
Lmao😂😆😁
Omg you guys made my day hahaha this is hilarious
PurpleMalk 241 same thing happend to me except i was home alone
Same
Honestly I'm watching this because all my other shaving methods has been failing me ,and everyone has been talking about this so I wanted to give it a try ,it seems easy but complicated😀. Edit: it works ,like really good
For how long did you boil it ?
I boiled mine for a good 20 mins or so on a high ish medium.
almost burnt my kitchen down
LOL :D I messed up our kitchen XD Spilled this shit on the floor and its rock hard hahaha
+VegAnn omg did you get it off?
Pritz Angelz yeah :D It goes of very easily with a knife
Dylan the Dinosaur same omg!!!!
LMAO same and it's my grandma kitchen Lord if she onlyy knew.
Hey kat ♡
Thank you for this video it helped so much !
For the people asking if it works , it does , i made this 'soft wax' exactly as she did in the video and i left it to cool completely and it became thicker than honey as she said and it works well .
But girls if you are using this for your bikini line please hold your skin as she said , i forgot to do so for one strip and it did bruse unlike the times i held my skin , so be careful with that . Hope this helped a bit . :)
Description goes “Can I eat it?” She goes yes you can eat it. Weirdo. I felt that 😭🙌🏽🤣
I did this and it actually worked! I actually waxed myself...in places that I thought would be a complete disaster. And I feel like such a big girl. Lol 💖
some warnings the uploader forgot to mention
WARNING TO MALES WITH HIGH TESTOSTERONE:
- there will be excruciating pain
- there may be bleeding
- screams of pain
- ect.
Just made it and used it
I swear it was awesome
Not a single hair is left ❤️❤️
This recipe is super EASY! If you follow the instructions, you almost can’t go wrong. I did stir the mixture constantly for the 7 minutes like an article suggested I read. I did everything else exactly as instructed in this video. Warmed up the glass container, waited for the wax to completely cool. (Those that are applying such hot wax that you are burning yourself, the instructions say not to apply hot wax!) Also washing the pot right after you use it with very hot water will dissolve the mixture so that the pot doesn’t have to be thrown away, like some are experiencing. I made the hard wax version so I didn’t have to use strips. Very easy to get this recipe right, & I’m blind in one eye, and compromised visually, in the other eye. Most recipes you have to try again & again to get the sugar wax *just right.* This version is simple. Worked my first time trying it, & I’ve never done sugar waxing before. Thank-you for this video!
Came back to add, this works well at just popping in the microwave for 25 seconds once it has hardened. It even works on hair that is shorter than a grain of rice, which Google says the hair needs to be that long in order to sugar it. I’m massively impressed by how easy this recipe is. The wax is reusable, not that you need to reuse, since the ingredients are so affordable. (Got mine at the $1 store.) Really appreciate this creator for making this video!
Dud you use soft wax orr hard wax...? I'm a bit scared, I'm 17 years and i haven't done waxing yet..... Can you please give me some compan?🥺
Hands down best sugar wax instruction video on TH-cam
I tried the soft wax recipe a few months ago and OMG ! I used it on even the most stubborn hairs to wax ( no no square) it pulled them right out !! I do recommend drying out your skin first using alcohol or baby powder 😁
tip do not use vinegar
use apple cider vinegar
tested
just now i use vinegar omg it explode !! thank god it doesn't get into my face only hand
Sasmetta Naidoo mine turned out fine when I followed the recipe I haven't used it yet
Sasmetta Naidoo damn it vinegar made mine crystallize...sigh. I got make a brand new batch again. I'll just stick to lime juice.
Esmeralda Loredo that happened to me to....acv is fine though
why use apple cider vinegar (or any vinegar)? does it help out with the process?
I was trying to do this,but I was really hungry and I ate it.....
Best comment I've read lmao
Sydney Gramajo >.
ur so funny 😅< 3
hi Katrinaosity can you make a video how to make boys gel thanks
Thanks so much, your video was actually very easy to understand
here how my version goes for those who wondering:
Ingredients
-2 cups sugar
-1/2 cup H2O
-1/2 cup lime juice, remove seed
Making
-Put ingredients into a bowl, mix well, the sugar dont need to be fully dissolved the mix just need to look thicker than water
-Pour in pot (tall pot for when u makin big batches) and put on high heat for 6’ , occasionally stir it to prevent burning on the bottom
then depend on the environment you’re in, put the heat off or continue to cook for longer ( the color shouldn’t affect the sugar though, you can even have a clear sugar wax so it rl just depend on how it feel)
*Way to test: get a cup of cold water,(put the pot away from the heat when testing)
pour some sugar in the water, then try to scoop it up w your finger, if the sugar is soft (not runny!) n easy to manipulate( shape) by finger but still can turn to its liquidy stage then it’s done!
-Left the pot rest for at least 20’, then pour it in a heat-safe container w no lid on, room temperature (i oil-ed mine just incase it’s hard to remove) for couple mins till it’s safe to touch then you can now wax
Couple note 📝
-The amount im doin is enough for hand and legs ( a bit more than enough) go ahead and change the ratio to your liking but i recommend doin small batch so not to waste much if u f-up, just make sure that the ratio of sugar to liquid is 2:1
-24h after waxing should avoid doing hash activity, no exfoliating n other stuff （＾ν＾）
-I cant seem to wax it off izly by hand so i use strips :3
-I thought the strips need to be a specific fabric but no, just use whatever clothes you got, i cut up my old thai pant. You can wash it off by soaking it in hot warm water for 2 times and it can be reusable which it nice
-The wax is best use when it slightly too warm but still safe for skin
-Edit: remember to powder your skin before puttin the wax!! any powder is fine (im usin baby powder)
-First time doin this (on my arms and legs) is quite painful but can tolerate, my legs are less painful prob bc i know to warm it up now. But it probably gonna hurt like hell for my armpits ^^
-Your pores bleeding a bit are completely natural
-After waxing remember to wash off the residue w cold water you can also put some ice cube to lessen the swelling, the. put on some moisturizer
-Important: waxing yourself is optional, just ones preference, do it comfortably at your own risk .
-This experiment was quite enjoyable, everything is simple, iz to clean up, reusable,..
-Edit: today (4/4) im just wax myself again, much more lenient and comfortable, some pores still bleed but i dont feel any pain this time tho. Im now doin a bigger batch n it took quite longer time as well, but w the cold water method i can izly tell when it’s done. Thank you for reading this!
I rl wish everyone can try sugar waxing out😌 im super pleased w the result i get (much smoother skin as well lol)
Tysmm
@@cyberstarz5084 you’re welcome i hope you get good result ^^
@@millcraft Same for you ! ^w^
Is lemon really necessary?? I dont have any type of lemon...
@@onikaamala4149 yes, hi limes is very crucial to this mix in order to make the syrupy form ^^
She's so pretty!
I like her eyes so much!
I watched like 10 videos on this yesterday. Then at 5 in the morning I said, "Eff it I'm going to make it" even though so many people said it didn't turn out right. I made the soft wax because I didn't have enough sugar for the hard wax, even though I really wanted to do that one. I cooked it for 15 minutes on medium heat then I alternated putting it on low and medium heat until it got brown. It worked great for me and I used one wax strip. And it took the hair from the roots, I could see the bulb on the hairs. Now, I will say it is a sticky mess (not too bad) but it's worth it. 1 hour tops to cook and apply. This is so cheap and natural, and it will save me so much money ($600-$1000) yearly on threading. I might even try to do my eyebrows one day 😮. I just have to wait and see is there any side effects because threading made my skin dark. I LOVE IT though and will continue to use it. I'll be buying sugar once a month.
What do you mean threading made your skin dark?!!! 😱😱😱
jonatikaWwe I did threading throughout college and all the rubbing on my skin made it darker over time. This may not happen to everyone, but I think I have sensitive skin. I can tan in the sun in like 5 minutes.
Omg why do you even wax?? You should see my hair...
Gillian Cura saaame
Gillian Cura same i'm 13 and i have more hair than her lmaoo
Gillian Cura lol my legs look like a mans legs
Think Pink135 my arm looks like a man's leg.
OMG SAMEEEEE
If anyone is wondering this actually does work!! I tried it today and it came out perfect! I tried another recipe 3 or 4 times before this and it kept failing 😩
Came back in 2020 just to see people still can’t watch the entire video before making things. 👍
i watched the whole thing its only like 4 minutes yall come on
I did too, and I waxed my dads back when he was sleeping bc I was bored:)
i watched this video maybe 5 times before making it lmao
@@naomihernandez2801 I'll be too lazy lol, im sure he's thankful 😂👌🏻
Kat, I'm so making this. Haven't seen my esthetician in months due to COVID-19. Thank you for this.
I use fabric with the hard wax. Get great results 👍 also I've found if my wax is a rich caramel colour then I've boiled too long, just slightly that colour which is more like 3min boiling seems to work for me. I've been doing this for years now and it's awesome. Thanks so much for this video! I love sugar wax and would never go back to shaving
Thank you so much for this video! The only mistake I made was burning my first batch, but the second one came out perfect (mine was a little lighter in color). A bit messy in the beginning but once I got the hang of it, it worked no doubt!!
I've been getting brazilian waxes consistently for years but was always too scared to do it myself. I finally caved to do it on my own because of COVID-19 and I'm in love! I've had hard wax, soft wax, and even done a sugaring session where they had kneaded sugar (hated it). So when I saw this sugar recipe for a soft sugar wax version, I was optimistic and it worked like a dream! It didn't even hurt as much as when I got it professionally waxed. I'm gonna use this for everything now!
I’ve been using this soft wax recipe on my arms for almost a year now and it works great!!
I couldn’t tell if it works because she had no hair to begin with 😭
Right !
It worked for me when I tried it a couple of months ago, I'm reattempting it now
Exactly
@Verde Green Did u tried both methods? What is better, the first or second one?
She does , it’s too light to see ...but the patch did clear up
i recommend reading the decriptions. all your questions are already answered. bye
It worked. I tried hard wax and it is same as yours fortunately. I have tried many time in past but Didn't get the result.
Just to clear what I did:
1. I used the grainy sugar and first I made its powder, I used the same cup for measuring water and lemon juice.
2.I put the sugar and water in the pan and added water and used spoon to mix it well for 2 min.
3. Used low flame heat to dissolve it more (4/4.5 min) then 1/1.5 minute to cook it little medium flame. (continuously stir it all the time). Set aside for 3to5 seconds.
4. 1 to 2 minutes at low medium flame then again set aside for 5 to 10 sec. Again on medium flame for 1/2 minute and set aside for 5 to 10 sec.
Note: All the time you have to stir it.
5. it took me 15 minutes to make it a golden honey look and texture.
6. I used a plate with cold water to test it and added a 1/8 of tea spoon of wax in it. waited for 5 to 10. Its consistency was like chewing candy which is not soft , not hard but sticky and elastic. (same as Kat's hard wax )
7. I used empty jam jar for storage.Don't use plastic Jars, spoon etc.
8. Use all metal utensils during the process.
So, for the first method, what you need to do after it cools down is to take a bit of the sugar wax and pull and stretch it out and keep doing that till the color changes from amber to a whiter/light brown color. Your gonna think this is yuk what I am about to tell you, but we also add a bit of our own saliva to soften the sugar we are about to stretch out. Basically pull or stretch out the sugar wax piece and then add a little saliva lol and then keep pulling and stretching it out. Keep doing that over and over till it changes color to a lighter brown like a coffee latte color.
When using it to remove hair, what you do after stretching it out is to take the sugar wax and using your finger tips, spread it across the area that you want to wax my going over the skin in the opposite direction of your hair growth. So, if the hair on your legs is growing downward toward the feet, you will take your wax and start from your ankle and smooth it up towards your knees to make a semi thin spread and then, this is the important part, you actually pull the sugar wax off not from the top where your knee is, but from the bottom where you started, you pull it off from there upwards toward your knee. That will case less skin irritations or hair breaking.
Another trick we use in Sudan, it we mix a paste of half a lime juice with a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of bread yeast. Mix that and spread that liquid on the area you want to wax. Wait for It to dry, then wax the area.
Last advise I have is that you DO NOT wash your body area that you waxed with soap for at least 24 hours. Wash with just water for the first 24 hours, till the hair pores close up.
Good luck.
And YES this is the best method of hair removal. It take 3 weeks for hair to grow back, there are no bumps unless you waxed wrong, it gets rid of ingrown hair and dead skin!
U sound like u know what you’re talking about so is there any ways to lighten my area & my labia at home😢?
This video helped me sooo much! I almost gave up on making my own wax and then I saw your video and you said strips work better. You are right. With my husband’s help, the strip waxing works amazingly! All the wax places are closed due to Covid-19 so I’m grateful to do this myself!
The hard wax doesn’t work for me. Soft wax works every time!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm an absolute beginner with understanding waxing & you wouldn't believe how difficult it is to just find straightforward info about waxing. It's all technical jargon & it's so easy to get lost in.
Been doing this for 4 years now and this video helps me a lot. I quit shaving and my hair doesn't grow as fast as before although I'm really hairy. I've made a mistake three times until I got the hang of it. Suggestions if you want to try sugar waxing it's much easier if you cook the soft sugar wax first until you get it then try practicing the hard sugar wax because it's less hassle and much better.
This is effective! I've tried it (soft wax), although in my case it took around 9 minutes to achieve the desired light brown color. 🙂 thanks for sharing this 🥰
Hi Kat, thank you for sharing this video. I made this recipe and I'm in love with it. It does remove all my unwanted hair on my face and I have to say that I'm impressed in how well this works. Thanks again!!
It worked. But in tropical areas i suggest
1 cup sugar
1.5 tbsp lemon
1.5 tbsp water
3/4 tsp salt
I stored it in my fridge for a few years (maybe 4 years??) and I always just “defrost” it via pouring boiling hot water in a bowel and just let the glass jar sit there for 10 mins. Good as new! Incase y’all want to double the recipe and not have to make it batch by batch each time you want.
why are tou even waxing, Im like look at it I wish I had those hairs
I love the description box info lol thanks for the recipe
I’m pretty late to the party, but from my experience in cooking, the reason that it may become hard and “candy-like” could be from over heating the mixture. Best of luck to everybody, cheers!
^this
For the people bitching on how she barely has hair so how do I even tell if it works or not, let me tell you that I have thick black hair and I’ve been using this recipe for years (the soft wax) and it works really well 👌🏼✨
The only one I see bitching is her. So unprofessional.
