Sugar Waxing: My Experience, DIY, Demo
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 янв 2015
- Have you guys ever heard of or tried sugar waxing before?
Note: Hair needs to be long enough for this to work well on. It won't work well on really short stubble. It may hurt more if the hair is really long but overall this is less painful and less irritating than traditional waxing or epilating. My leg is usually FULL of hair but what I demonstrated was about 5-7 days after the first time I sugared. Since I had never waxed my legs before my legs were red and spotty after the first time. Don't be alarmed if this happens to you. I personally didn't find this painful at all on my lower legs. As you can see there is no irritation at all this second time. Probably going to wait another week for more hair to grow out before I sugar again :) Yay to less shaving!!

I've been using it for more than 25 years, the good thing about sugaring is that the hair becomes less by time and you enjoy soft skin for 20+ days and it's safe on all body parts. Now I have some tips for advocates : 1. after you soften the sweet piece, you can add a few drops of water to have it malleable, it should feel like a dough something that is not hard to spread on your legs, the softer it is the better it will cling to the hair and better results come up. 2. Since it's basically plucking, try to stretch the skin for minimal pain. 3. If it gets messy or stuck to your skin , leave it for 5 mins, do another area and get back to it with a fresh piece of paste or sprinkle some baby powder. that will dry it a bit and give you a better control.4. For sensitive or sweaty skin, sprinkle some baby powder that will dry the area and not stick to the skin. 6.For thin or short hair, apply a very thin layer of the paste and pull and it will remove the tiny wanderers.7. Because I have sensitive skin and to prevent any bacteria from growing in place of the hair pores, I spread a thin layer of antibiotic/antibacterial cream after showering. Also stay away from deodorants for 24 hours, the antibacterial cream will keep you smelling good for that day. Keep it up , happy sugaring :)
pansy HB hi you seem to know a lot more about sugaring then other people. I just made some sugar wax yesterday and I've grown out my leg hair for like a few months and I tired to wax them but the wax wasn't really getting all the hair. But! I waxed my underarms and that worked better the well!. So I was wondering did I do anything wrong for my leg hair?
The legs are drier than the armpits, if so, you can wax it after you're done with the under arms, the piece will have been worked and will stick better. If you are using a new piece of sweet, add some drops of warm water and work it until you can squish it in your palm and it comes smoothly through the fingers as a homogeneous paste. By the way, the paste is sold in Middle Eastern and Indian stores as well, hope that's helpful.
pansy HB thank you that was very helpful 😊
How do you store it? Just let it sit in the jar with no kids? Or should I put lid on it
I'm having some trouble with making my paste. I made it but when I wet my hands and scoop it out to knead it, it becomes runny and starts melting/warming up. If that means it's under done then what should I do about it?
Old pillow cases and sheets work great for waxing strips. So do coffee filters

thanks
thanks a lot
You're a hero to many.
GIRL YOU CANT PUT SILVERWARE IN THE THE MICROWAVE ITLL EXPLODE
How so you know it was silver
+BndN Vlogs even if it's Stainless Steel iT will blow up
yes you can, you just can't put a fork in or anything with separate peaks
Its a combi microwave so you can use it like an oven. you can put metal in it
But it didnt
did she just put the spoon in the microwave !?!?
Just what I was thinking xD
exactly what I said too
+Stephanie Ibarra Exactly what was thinking XD
that's what I thought too!!!!
+Stephanie Ibarra i had to come down and look at the comments to see if someone else noticed too lmao
Did she... Did she just...PUT THE DAMN SPOON IN THE MICROWAVE
TURTLES
+Kaimaru06 she says the word microwave three times
well thats the mistake in the video. Thus its ok. to put. spoon inside its an oven... or maybe the. machine is both microwave and oven.
She sure did!!! LOL
Did nobody else notice that she microwaved that metal spoon.
Microwaving metal is dangerous.
No metal is safe, plastic is dangerous. There is no prob if u microwave metal spoons
Lazeena Akram I wouldn't say safe, if one puts a metal object (e.g. spoon) in a piece of food or in liquid containing water (e.g. coffee, tea, soup, stew) there is no problem.
But put a metal object on a plate and one will likely see electrical discharges, like lightning.
Putting food on a metal plate is ok in SOME microwave models. The microwaves are simply reflected into the food.
Lazeena Akram most plastic is safe, metal is not
It's the other way around, dear. Plastic melts and metal doesn't...
Lazeena Akram most plastic that is made for kitchen use is suitable for the microwave, at least it is here in Denmark...
I've been sugaring for years. When you cook the sugar, you want to keep it at medium heat, because sugar gets hot and cooks very quickly. You need to use a thermometer, the same kind you would use to measure the heat of oil, to check the temperature of the sugar. You want to cook the sugar until it reaches 250 degrees. This is considered a softball. Anything past 250 degrees is considered a hardball and you really can't use it at this point to wax. I also find using raw organic unrefined sugar is better for sugaring. Regular sugar cooks up quicker, below 250 degrees, and it's hard to get the consistency right for waxing. CAUTION: The sugar is extremely hot and you will burn yourself if your not careful.
Hello! You said you've been sugaring for years; does it really work for facial hair?
You can use the wax for facial hair. The consistency of the wax has to be very soft for it to be able to pull the hair. Facial hair isn't as course or thick as underarm or pubic hair. You also need to clean the area with alcohol and then apply powder to remove the dirt and oils on your face before waxing.
I recommend cooking the wax to a syrupy consistency, about 240 degrees, to use on facial hair. You might want to also use a stick to apply and a cloth to remove wax.
I wonder if a candy thermometer would work.
+Kayla Mayfield it will
This comment will be never be found and it'll just flow through all of the spoon comments lying around here.
lmfao
😂W
Great video! You restored my faith in DIY sugaring! I suceeded in making my own sugar wax thanks to the recipe you provided and the troubleshooting tricks. THANK YOU!!!
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you for making this video. Your epilating videos were one of the first videos that I saw of yours! :)
As soon as I saw her put the spoon in the microwave, I came to check the comments to see if anyone else noticed omg
oh lawd exactly haha
Me too
Girl if you think that's considered hairy, try being Indian lol
Sam S omw true and it's super dark
Danielle Nikita Naidoo Mexicans too I got thick black long hair EVERYWHERE 🙄😂
Ya 😂😂😂
Sam S or German
Unfortunate for me because am African but am super hairy
Hi, Christine! This is such a fun video to watch. I've been waiting for something different and fun from u for a long time. Keep it up! In the meantime, I'm contemplating about using the sugar wax on my armpit hair. This would save me a lot of time cuz i normally tweeze so it can be pretty time-consuming.
Thanks a lot for this video.. I had given up on the sugar wax after a few failed attempts, but this made my final attempt successful (with the help of the tips you gave). Loved it.. :)
can we use it for our upper lip too?
Fancy Nancy TV Yes😊
Litterally everywhere
OMG GUYS WE ALL KNOW SHE PUT THE DAMN SPOON UN THE MICROWAVE NOT EVERYONE NEEDS TO TALK ABOUT IT! SHES NOT DEAD AND IT DIDNT EXPLODE SO WERE ALL COOL
stfu
Trueee
LMAO!!!!!!
😂
I didn't know what sugaring was and now I got so much information! thank you so much! It is a really great video!!
This was so informative. I love it!! Other people just made it and that was it. You gave a lot of advice
Not a lot of beauty gurus talk about hair removal on YT so I commend you! I love waxing - I wax everything off including bikini line. I just prefer a cleaner look! Shaving my hair just means it'll grow back unevenly and I would have to do it every two or three days! Thanks so much for this video!
Xun Fu you are brave! yes shaving everyday or other day is just a nuisance XD
You are "my kind of girl". I just LOVE a completely waxed woman! Many benefits in that! I wish I had a partner who would be willing to do it for me too!
I've been using this for years now, and it's just great. You can use brown sugar too, I think it's actually better, it gently exfoliates and cleans your skin. I use it with denim strips (I cut an old jeans in short strips). And then you can just wash and reuse the strips, as the sugar-wax will easily dissolve and wash under water with little effort.
I am soooo gonna try this! thanks for sharing! and you look beautiful as always :)
this is finally a good DIY where they actually tell u everything you need to know
she shows you how to use it at 7:04
thank you 😂
Can people stop Talking about her putting the spoon in the microwave😏
+Belinda Yeboah I'm always leave my spoon in microwave
I'm not talking to you huwag ka humalo sa usapan namin
manahimik ka nga dyan
I know
What spoon? 😂
I think you did an awesome job explaining and demonstrating hair removal. You are a beautiful young lady, and I appreciate your tips on waxing.
I don't even wax but I found this video really interesting! I really like how you explained everything and how happy you seem :)
06:56 DID SHE JUST MICROWAVE IT WITH THE SPOON STILL IN IT
I thought that too!!!
Omg was jus thinking that.
Miss Muttss aww a
I'm confused, do you use the same piece of wax to do your entire legs? This looks really interesting!
Alexa Golden i used that same piece to do both of my lower legs and then that piece was done :) you can also use a larger "glob" to do both the entire legs
I am glad you asked this question! I was wondering about this as well.
I wondered this as well TY
When I get it done at the spa, they use one ball the whole process.
Alexa Golden Yes you can use the same piece until you're done. The problem that I find with it is that I have really sweaty palms, and if I use a piece for too long, the ball get's too sticky & it just sticks all over my hands. As long as it stays the right consistency, you can keep using it.
I did this with 2 youtube girls and it never got me like it IS.. but with you, i did it at the first time!! thank you a lot!!
Great video! I tried this but I was only successful at removing peach fuzz on my knuckles of my fingers. LOL! No leg hair or armpit hair came off. I got some very small fuzz randomly off my upper lip. You also need to not get this on the rim of the jar because it hardens and you can't put the lid on. LOL! Learning process. I think I need more information from cooking to using. Don't know how long to cool it. I'm not giving up, there's gotta be a way to do it. Great video! I enjoyed watching it and meeting your Aunt. Very nice Kristina❣😊👍🏼
Your not supposed to put metal in the microwave that's so dangerous
It looks like golden playdough :) btw, does the sugar wax leave any ithcy, red bumps like with regular waxing?
Iz C it can so exfoliating is a must!
I've been so scared to try it but now I will! Any wait to see the results, love Ya :)
The final product looks like gold! xD Especially during the part that you were rubbing the sugar wax on your legs
Silly question. Can you spread it on using a popsicle stick or is it just spread on with your fingers. Either way I'm so doing this as I'm sick of shaving.
Mary Walker this style is best done using fingers as i find it's easier to control the flick of your wrist :)
Kk
+xteeener XD
Buy an epilator! No mess at all 🙃
even more stupid question, can you put it on a Popsicle stick and then let it harden and eat it like a lollipop jk
Did she just microwave the spoon ...?😳
ikr
omg. I had to stop the video to see if anyone else caught that. wtf
I saw that too 😖
haha, some microwaves can handle metal now. my mom always microwaves stuff in metal bowls, i have no idea how it works
I was really really afraid of an explosion 😩💔
Thank you for this video!!! I've been curious about sugaring for a while and this really will help me try it myself now :). Thanks so so so much!!!
Finally the best DIY. The mixture is perfect. I tried other DIY on this topic and they where all flops.
I did this sugar wax too but when it was the right consistency it was too hot for me to put it on my skin and than after a few seconds it got stone hard.. could you please help me?
Zoe Hiegel mine too!
I'm so tired of shaving. But I CAN NOT get this sugaring shit right!!!!!!!!!
u can buy it
Very informative! I am so going to try this out!!! Thanks Christine!!
ok so i just got done making my own sugar wax.. very easy after watching your video.. because you took the time to actually explain everything i did it the right way.. thank you so much for your video..
I WAXED MY FACE ON CAMERA FOR THE FIRST TIME!! HAHA! NEVER AGAIN! HOPE IT MAKES U LAUGH CHRISTINE! LOL! this video will help so many people though!! amazing xx
My hair is tingling in fear
LOL
Thanks for all tips. You probable made one of the best videos on the topic.
Sugaring and waxing at a professional spa gets really expensive if you do it all the time. This is a great way to save A LOT of money. Thanks for sharing xteeener!
Dont ever put a spoon in the microwave!!!!!
How is the pain compared to regular waxing?
Natalie Holle i personally have never tried regular waxing..too scared! but from what i read this is much less painful since it doesn't pull off the top layer of your skin and bc unlike waxing you are pulling in the direction of hair growth
OMG I love you for the microwave tip! My sugar is always too sticky, it always kind of melts when I keep it in my hands for too long and I think that microwave tip is something that can help me solve this!!!
I love the way you explained it in details
she put the spoon in the microwave...
Twice.....
Yes you have to do this!!
+BigHair Beauty it will blow up
+BigHair Beauty Putting metal in a microwave is really dangerous
Look at the flick of that wrist
Best sugar wax video I've seen on RUclips, thanks x
this was the best video i seen on this, thank you!
I would try this on my legs and forearms, but I don't think I could do it anywhere else...I used to get my underarms waxed, and sometimes they would bleed. Waxing is so painful lol. Considering doing laser on my body. Already did electrolysis on my face which is really awesome! I'm greek, so I'm pretty hairy. I wish there was some magic liquid we could bathe in that would just remove all our hair permanently lol!
Eleni Valis omg that would be amazing! lol glad to hear good results from hair removal on your face makes me feel more comfy w the idea! :)
Yes! Electrolysis is the way to go when it comes to the face. Everywhere else, it's probably best to do laser. Nice to hear someone talk about hair removal for once! Love your vids btw :)
I tried making the sugar wax today but I kinda messed which resulted in me giving up. I didn't thought about re-heating the sugar wax and I wish I seen this sooner. Thanks for the vid.
you did a true video girl! even my stuff didn't ball up :( and i m gonna try again... and u showed all of it what one can face...but sad that everybody only cares about the spoon! and not the effort oh god!
U don't put the spoon in the microwave
yes you can, you just can't put a fork in or anything with separate peaks
No you cant put anything metal into the microwave because metal doesn't have any water molecules to heat up so it bounces the radiation back and can damage or break the microwave. thanks highschool chemistry
Mine keeps coming out brittle no matter how long I cook it. it looks fine and then when it cools it gets super hard and when I warm it up it gets soft and hardens again
Niyla perez did you figure how to fix it?? That keeps happening to me and I'm getting frustrated -__-
Neni Alvarez No I haven't😭😭😭
I ruined two jars😐
You're cooking it too long. You need to cook it to the hard ball stage of candy which is about 250° F - 266° F. The sugar wax is basically hard caramel or nougat. If it's too sticky it either hasn't cooked enough or it still has too much water in it. Water is what causes it to be sticky. Hope I helped!
So I just added a little bit of water to it and it worked 😳 if you still have it just add water but little by little
Hi, Thank you for showing this technique in a professional way. I was able to prepare the wax properly. It worked fine the day I cooked it. But I am having trouble in storing and reusing it for later use.
Q1- Suppose I store it in a Jar (fridge) and then re-heat to use it, then will I have to re-heat it to the point it is liquid like again and then re-stir it to form good texture? How do you reuse and store the unused wax using parchment paper? Do we need to re-heat it then?
Q2- I was also finding it difficult to keep the ball firm enough to be usable, it soon became too sticky to the point it was not usable enough, tried cooling it down a bit in the fridge but still could not work. What's the best room temperature to do it in and how to deal with the sweat and body heat? Any ideas and suggestions?
I really want to practice this technique just require someone to help me on above points :) Many Thanks!
I followed the recipe and it worked just fine on me.. Definitely will do this again :) thanks!
...this is like those commercials where they're shaving the girls leg that doesn't have hair on it.. lmao wheres your hair, I must be a beast lmao
Starsonedge pls refer to my info box :) this was 5-7 days after i did my first round of sugaring on the legs
Yeah you mentioned in the vid after I posted my comment :P
You put a spoon in the microwave?! That had to be a different material that metal
That is an oven that acts like a microwave, it is not an actual microwave. Do not put a spoon in the microwave, she should have stated that. Lol
itscourtneybaby you're right it's not suggested but i did it in short intervals and found no harm :)
I left a fork in my food while microwaving it and nothing happened.
I once put custard (in it's packaging) in the microwave, which turned out to have a thin metal strip along the top, and it started glowing... o.o #neveragain
I put a small metal lip balm tin in the microwave for a DIY with it thinking and it exploded
Thank you so much for sharing this! I just have a question: can you reuse the paste? And if so, about how many times? :) xo
Omg i have never heard of this!! Thanks for this diy!!! I must try!
look at her flicking her wrist her wrist lol 😆
You funny for that one lol
+DEJAVU X. lol
LMAO
Lol 😂
wait.. DID SHE PUT THE SPOON IN THE MICROWAVE!!?! 😱
Ikr
😱I know and she reheats it in the microwave with the metal knife that's already stuck in the jar lol I wonder if her microwave has exploded already it's been over a year
it does not look microwave to me... its more of an oven......where it release heat.. so no problem putting a conductor in it.
however if its a microwave it will spark.......
You're really bright and warm hearted^_^ thumb up!
Great tutorial. i've watched few. This is the best 😊
so funny, you could have also made caramel. once the sugar turned amber, just add heavy cream! 😁 this just made me hungry. i would totally forget about waxing lol
Can you use this on ur whoohaa
Yes you can lol
NO!!DONT DO THAT
You can use it anywhere. It may be a little painful but it’s perfectly safe.
the sugar wax looked metallic, like gold
Thank you so much! This is the most helpful sugar waxing video I have seen :)
WTF!!!!! SHE JUST PUT A F***ING SPOON IN THE MICROWAVE!!
LOL
This never works for me, the wax is always very hard and unusable
myninjaturtlebackpack have you tried melting it and stretching it? it was too hard for me when i first tried to make it too!
I never suspect the you as a hairy person. I guess I missed that epilation video I have to go check it out. I would love to try this sugar hair removal technique.
THIS IS THEE BEST RECIPE BY FAR thank you so much..
Did u put a spoon in the microwave?!
thought I was the only one who noticed lmao
+Kaimaru06 She said microwave
I just saw that as well. Jesus.
Does it smell while cooking
Hope Lopez it smells delicious if anything and doesn't have a strong odor :) just don't let it burn!
+xteeener mine is so soft and its not sticky as urs what should i do !? Plz
+pinkystar rose let it cool longer, I would guess
Yes but it's nice like pleasint
it smell delicious
oooh i heard of this. Great video. I might try it out when i get a chance.
Thank you for this! I just tried this to use as a brazilian cus they cost so much so i wanted an alternative and it worked really well.
i'm not trusting this tutorial, she don't even know it's not safe to microwave a spoon smh.
Actually, the shape of the spoon makes it okay to put in the microwave although it's not advised. Look it up.
+Jada Dior didn't she use a microwave oven? (essentially a mini-oven, not really a microwave)
+kiera no she used a microwave
Deja Bankz
*I used to do traditional way to clean my legs and arms. Emjoi AP 18 was suggested by my friends to use. For the first time ,it kind of hurt and i feel some pain, but after using couple of times, i feel this very smooth. Now i use this product all the time and i also suggest my close friend to use this.I am vey happy with the product and suggest other to use it.*
I am vey happy with the product and suggest other to use it >> hopeithelps.co/enjoy-emjoi-epilator-reviews/
Christine I dont know how I missed this video! lol This is awesome! I'm definitely going to try this! I recently started getting into sugaring since it is much better for your skin and exfoliates your skin rather than removing the layer like you said! I've been wanting to make my own for a while but after watching this I most definitely will experiment! Thanks so much! :) xx
I've been getting it done at the spa and has been quite expensive so this definitely will save me some money! :D
+sarahhtranTV A 25 lb. bag of sugar costs just $18 at my local supermarket. That's a lot of sugar wax!
I always wondered about this. Thanks for the video:)
you stuck a spoon in the microwave lol o.o
Didn't your parents TELL
TOU NOT TO PUT
YOUR SPOON IN THE MICROWAVE!!!!?
i like that you're so honest😄
finally someone explains it to perfection
yikes!!!...sugar waxing seems like my worst nightmare! i still have scars from where hot sugar landed on my bare skin and i got second degree burns. the idea of working with hot sugar in any form frightens me. seems legit if your brave n get it to work, but i'll take a HARD PASS on this!!!
foxylilthang21 i know the feeling i burned myself twice XD lol but the wax is completely cool before u use it :)
Litterally 95% of the comments are about a damn spoon
LOL
😂
Best diy video for sugaring yet
I'm excited to try this!!!
I never shave. I've been doing this since I was 15 and I don't understand how can people shave because it's high maintenance
really? i mean money wise, shaving is definitely the cheapest if you don't wax yourself at home. and not to mention shaving is way less time consuming. i think waxing hands down is more high maintenance lol but for someone who's genetically hella hairy and grows back hair FAST, i think it's worth it
twtw hammodi it really is! i wish i had known about it at that age :)
I never shaved but I wouldn't want to. Buying creams/lotions and razors can get expensive meanwhile who doesn't have sugar and lemon at home. I only wax once a month and I can get away with 6 weeks, not to mentions that your skin is REALLY soft. You should give it a go
xteeener :D Well, your video is very informative and it'll help loads out there !!
Its not maintenance...its routine! Its not hard takes less than a minute lol!
lot of talking... lotttttttttttt of talking :| AND SHEEEEEEEEEE PUT THE SPOON IN THE MICROWAVEEEEEEEEEEEEE... HAHAH BITE ME! :D
Her light lisp is too cute
Would you be able to do an updated hair removal video please? Interested to know if you are still sugaring and what the results have been
NEVER PUT METAL ITEMS IN THE MICROWAVE. Depending on the ratio of metals in the item it can cause sparks, explode, and cause permanent damage to the microwave!!! She got lucky but NEVER, EVER TRY THIS AT HOME!!!
she actually did not put the spoon in the microwave, repeat the clip where she puts it in the microwave, and you will notice she took the spoon
Actully she did you are the one that needs to re watch the clip
Yes I am pretty sure she did and she is very lucky the spoon wasn't made like most common spoons. Looks up what types of metal alloys cause the sparks and damage or better yet, never take the chance.
+Amanda George oh okay thxs , I thought she took the spoon . :)
