I thought she'd say "eating watermelon keeps me hairless "

theres nothing more atractive than doing whatever the fuck makes you feel good

I tried sugaring on one armpit and I shaved the other one to test if it really worked. It's been a week and the armpit that I sugared is completely bare and the armpit that I shaved grew hair literally the day after I shaved, I have honestly found my solution to my hairiness praise the lord

I noticed many people commenting that sugaring is painful. It is not painless, for sure. BUT if you have been doing it for years (20 yrs in Kristina's case), the hair and the roots become really fine and thus it is less painful. It is the same as using a depilator on your legs - first time the pain is harsh, then it gets easier, and after a few times you are just slightly uncomfortable. Waxing/sugaring/depilating armpits is more painful because the armpit hair roots are bigger than, e.g. the hair on your legs. But with time even the armpit hair gets fine. Just think of the fact that rabbit fur is torn off to get angora wool. That pain is incomparable to what we have to tolerate.

That intro is me trying to reach a word count on an essay

btw... is sugaring a form of waxing? xD

why the hate on hair? It has benefits. But her body so she does whatever she wants

she said sugaring is a form of waxing like 1000000 times

I wish you would have shown her actually remove the hair. 😕

Wow...watched the video out of curiosity. Such a pleasant, cheerful young lady! But I made the mistake of reading comments; how depressing that everyone has to judge and be "offended" by every little thing! This country and most of the world has become a moral and psychological cesspool over the last 50 years. Got hair? Want it gone without shaving? Here's a helpful video. Gone are the good ole days when PC meant personal computer!!

Who would want to see a vegan organic makeup video from me? Or hair care??

Why wouldn't you show us the way to pull it off after you apply it?

I GET IT OK SUGARING IS A FORM OF WAX

wow I did it and I must say I will not be shaving with a razor anymore thnx so much Kristina

All of that talking... Why didn't you show her rip it off?

I cannot believe how offended people get by such small things. I swear people watch her videos and try to pick out any tiny thing to twist into something else that could be offensive. Get a life Hahahaha

She's lucky me 2 months without shaving looks like the hair on her head

For those who wanna try sugaring: It's a bit tricky at first, you will mess up the first few times, but it just takes practice. I did try both sugaring and waxing and actually sugaring tends to last a bit more (as in the hair takes a bit longer to start growing back) but it is also a bit more painful. Wax can also be natural (where I go to wax, the lady makes her own wax out of natural bee wax, as her uncle has beehives in the countryside) so there's no harm in it either. I personally prefer wax, but that's just me. I strongly encourage you to try both and pick the one that works best for you.

I want to be very clear that I am not telling ANYONE to sugar or remove hair. I respect everyone's personal preference. I never meant to hurt anyone's feelings or shame anyone! I am all about self-love and health. Be you. Shine bright. I appreciate all of you here. Blessings

Did you leave it on your armpit for awhile? How quickly did she pull it off? Do you put anything on your armpit after removal? Wish you had shown the entire video including the removal and if your skin gets rid or what it looks like immediately following removal so people know. Can you post a video of that part of the video? Curious minds want to know, never heard of this before. Thanks! :)

How many times does she need to say what sugaring is? She said it 3 times in the beginning of the video, lol

All my Egyptian friends used to tell me about sugaring their legs, etc. But I never really understood until I watched your video! That is just awesome. Thank you so much for sharing. It was great to understand how it works. You are so beautiful anyway! How can you think we would judge you for sharing this great advice? Thank you, Christina!

Awww I wanted to see how it rips off...and I can't believe anyone would get offended by any of this it's hilarious!

Btw nothing to be ashamed of something that your body does naturally

love sugaring.....i do wish you had shown the whole removal process, too, though, for those who have never done it before 😊

Rules for a successful presentation: Tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, tell them what you told them. Kristina's got that one down well.

I almost never comment on youtube but I really have to in this case... am I the only one who thinks that removing hair from a child who is only 9 years old is super messed up?!

For someone who is so "natural" you sure do seem to have an "unnatural" stance on body hair. So, it makes me curious. How natural are you about things other than food? Beauty and hygiene products, clothes, etc....?? Interesting video!

"She's still getting it ready!" HILLARIOUS! My mom was raised in Tunisia and as a child I remember she would also use this method to remove her body hair. She tried it on me once but I never did get into it. I'm ready to give this a try several decades later! Thanks for the info. Nicely done :)

In Brasil we do this! It's very simple and you don't need to shave everyday. That's better for your body.

My mom was born in Libya and that's one of my childhood memories.. her sugaring herself with Halwaa. I myself did not learn the tradition yet, but I am waxing. I'ts so worth it long term not to shave. This video made me want to tell my mom that next time we meet I want her to teach me how to do the Halwaa.

i think it's important to add that nobody needs to shave or wax body hair if they don't want too. body hair is completely natural and okay!!

Thanks again Kristina my daughter and I decided to give this a try. I'm a nurse and witnessed first hand a woman who almost lost her life due to an infection she received from shaving. I love the results from sugar waxing.

BTW, if you use a candy thermometer, you can get this process perfect every time. The temperature during boiling is indicative of the precise amount of water left in the solution, so taking it to the same exact temperature each time, will give extremely consistent results. That's just in case someone isn't a "pro at this", like Aunt Mary Katherine.

There's nothing more attractive or sexy that a woman who doesn't remove her body hair because of fallacious social standards #unpopularopinionapparently

You're really lucky to be born into such a family. I wish my mom loved me enough to do that for me. Even as a small child she didn't have patience to even brush my hair without tearing through it as fast as she could with a brush..

2 cups of sugar + 1/4 water + 1/4 Lemon Juice ! Until Sugar turns brown 10/15 minutes.

I don't use a razor too! In fact, I've been able to grow my armpit hair out and feel completely comfortable and beautiful in my organic, 'raw' state! I don't have a social shaming outlook on my body anymore and I embrace my womanhood. Its quite blissful never having to always feel the need to be hairless...I suppose I feel more human and connected.

Why are you people so judgmental? She's not pushing anyone to shave themselves she's teaching a new technique

Maybe... Just maybe there are a bunch of us who don't like being hairy. And this video is helpful for us. If you like hairs on your body cool, don't watch a video that is specifically about removing hair..

I’m 44 and have been shaving since I was about 10-11 years old. I have very thin fine hair (sigh) so I don’t have to shave often, but I do hate shaving when the time comes. I never knew this existed. Thank you so much for for enlightening me! I’m going to make this today. WOO HOO!

Dear Kristina...good for u sweetheart..I just wont to vent a little if I may...what is the problem with the people the slander u ??? People need to get a life and worry about there own issues and not troll utube putting people down..in my opinion I think it all comes down to being JEALOUS !!! U r very pretty/healthy/happy/intelligent/compassionate !!! And what's with the rich comments ??? U don't have to apologise for being financially stable !!! Another jealous attack !!! Enough is enough if u don't like what Kristina shares on u tube don't WATCH !!! Why post mean comments ??? It only shows what a dark heart u have mixed in with pettiness and that jealous emotion again..Kristina please don't let heartless souls dampen your beautiful spirit 💜 U have a lot to offer and lots of people need to hear your message of healthy eating..I am not a vegan or vegetarian but u have inspired me to eat much more healthy 👍🏼 Keep being yourself georgous girl u r a beacon of hope to MANY..luv u 😘😘😘

i prefer hairless pits... but lets get this straight. attractiveness is up to each and every person's subjectivity and highly influenced by culture. women who do bear hair, you go! it's not hideous. it's not repulsive. take a women's study course if you think otherwise.

Not sure if im watching a armpit video, or a caramel recipe video.

You look perfectly Healthy, and I don't want to judge your lifestyle, but Some plants release vitamins when shortly cooked. Vegetables like broccoli. Others like paprika are more nutricious when Eaten raw indeed, but not all cooking takes away the vitamins. Sometimes warming the food up can make it even more nutricious and Healthy.

This was done so cute and real! It reminds me of a story I read to my daughter when she was a young girl. This same recipe can be found on one of the books from Arleta Richardson "Grandma's Attic". It didn't turn out so well for Mable and Sarah Jane. These books are very fun to read, and enjoined with lots of laughter. REAL people sharing real life. I have enjoyed each one of your youtubes Kristina. This is the first one I have commented on. I like that you are real and upfront. You don't go around a cows barn to say it like it truly is. You bring home a message with love and kindness loaded with integrity and energy. Love and hugs sent from Idaho.

Hair under the armpits is as natural as eating raw foods. Nature put it there for a reason..and smart, open-minded men find it attractive.

Enjoyed the video but thought it was kinda weird not to show the actual waxing part.....that's like the most important part! LOL

I've been waxing/sugaring for 6 years now, and tbh I haven't noticed any difference in my hair. Just so you guys know that your hair isn't going to magically dissapear or get less by the time. And my hair grows back within 3 weeks

Wow your aunt is extremely beautiful too, I see great genes run in your family (:

You're auntie seems so sweet! I haven't seen this done in years. I had some friends from Iraq who sugar waxed my legs and arms. So it was about 4 or 5 of us doing this together laughing and talking...until the wax came off LOL. I couldn't remember the ratio of the ingredients. I think I'll try this out myself. Thanks for the video! I hope you enjoy yourself on this tour!!!

I was hoping this was about body hair acceptance. Waxing a nine year old is INSANE

So many women complaining about body hair. Lol, grow it out of you please but stop judging her for waxing it.

thank you! I gave up shaving about 2 months ago and thought I would just be hairy. I don't buy anything plastic if I can help it so I don't get razors or the awful chemical wax. this is amazing and gives me a reason to turn the stove on, lol. thank you Aunty for showing me! much love to you both!

Wow I didn't know you could make at home wax like this! That's amazing! I'm going to have to try cause I hate shaving! Thank you for always being so inspiring! Your beauty shines through everything that you do ! Love , heather from your Snapchat fam!!!!

I wouldn't feel ashame for doing this video. I'm sure a lot of girls love you for this😁

sweetheart, omg...i hope you don't read all of these comments... Unbelieeeeeevable...what silliness! All i can say is... you're awesome and i love you. obviously, i rarely comment here, but you have been a great inspiration to me for the last year now. so thanks for everything and this one too! it was sooooo helpful! And hi auntie! your aunt was wonderful!

I don't know how I ended up from a flan recipe to here. Caramel?! 😁

seriously? you didn't even show the process of taking off the hairs.. you just cut that part

Wait...you didn't show the removing the hair part. How many tries does it take to remove all the hair? You made a lot, so does that mean that it takes multiple tries, or did you do you while body that day? Also does it hurt like regular waxing done, or is it a little more tolerable?

This is great to know! I'm not terribly hairy so I have never really thought about it but my daughter gets Romanian from her father and now that she is a teen she is getting pretty hairy but prefers things all natural- I just raised her that way. I'll tell her about this

Great vid, love that you promote waxing/sugaring over shaving. I am Indian, and it is also more popular in my heritage to wax rather than shave, which in fact can be viewed as a bit taboo. In Middle Eastern/South Asian cultures, waxing has always been the preferred norm. I am highly enthusiastic about the procedure. Like you, I began very young, at age 10, at the behest of my mother. Something which in these cultures young girls begin before they even hit teenage. You have to bear the pain, but the results are phenomenol, a must for any beauty-conscious woman - indulge in the beautiful world of sugar waxes!

All that build up and you didn't actually show the actual waxing part? I wanted to see if it hurt/ how you ripped it off etc. letdown

"There's nothing more attractive and sexy than having smooth beautiful hairless skin." so basically if you choose not to shave you are not sexy or attractive?ouch, first thing you have ever said that I don't agree with, I even find a bit offensive actually, some people maybe don't want to remove something that is natural for us to have.... I know you are an amazing person so i understand that you probably didn't want to offend anybody, but it kinda contradicts the whole positive to your body life style a bit, doenst it?. Have pits if you want, don't have them if you don't want ... whatever makes you feel good...right? you can be sexy either way. If I misunderstood you i apologize in advance! I am a huge fan after all

hey Kristina , i do it with molasses instead . basically i put molasses in a hot pan then add half a lemon ( the juice ) and boil it for 7 minutes on a low heat , then when it finishes i add two drops of olive oil , its better than the sugar , it makes the skin very soft and clean

Hi I am from Egypt . And yes sugaring is an old Egyptian way for hair removal . Glad you actually said it . Some people dont know this information. Thanks😊

She's pretty redundant, this video could have been a lot shorter.

I really like how you always do it together. Its ritualistic and seems like a very feminine bonding ceremony typey thing...

For all the newbies: It hurts the first few times, but after a while, you get used to it. I used to use aloe vera gel and a cold cloth or ice pack for a few days after the treatment. You may want to try a less sensitive area of the body as a starting point. Of course, the less hair there is with each successive application, the less it hurts as well. Over time, the follicles become damaged and that is why the hair doesn't grow back as much. When you do it the first few times, it is possible for there to be little blood dots in all the follicles and then little tiny scabs as the follicles heal. But don't fear, it just means you have damaged the follicles a little more with each application and that means you will have less regrowth. Just clean the area very well and it will heal up quickly. If you are worried, you can get it done by a professional the first few times. Actual waxing, as opposed to sugaring, produces a similar effect if you can't find a sugaring salon. I haven't done this in years, but many years ago, I was a licensed aesthetician and the procedure is very safe, although it does take practice to get good at it. I find the front of the lower legs to be the least sensitive area of the body as a starting point. You can also try it on the tops of your fingers, toes and feet as these are also not too sensitive. If it is really sore after you do it, you can get some spray Lanacane (first aid spray) from the drug store and spray it on the area to numb it a bit until it starts to heal. Talk to your pharmacist about the best product to buy for numbing and sterilizing the area. Lastly, you should know that hair grows in three or more cycles. Kristina has been doing this for years and so hers grows back very slowly, but for newbies, the regrowth happens faster than 1 month although it will be a little more sparse with each application. But each time it grows in, it's not from the same follicles that you removed the hair from the last time. Initially, you may have to do it every 2-3 weeks, but after about six to twelve months of regular sugaring or waxing, you should start seeing the hair regrowth slow down quite a lot. Soon enough, you will be doing this as problem-free as Kristina. Cheers.

2 cups sugar 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/4 cup water

There's nothing more beautiful and sexy than hairless, smooth skin? I'm sexy just as I am, no makeup, no shaving. There's more important things than worrying about a little body hair.

Nothing is more sexy and attractive than making a decision about your body not based on social pressures! Hair or no hair, it's all sexy if you love what you've got!

So awesome! Your auntie was wonderful! My sister sugars her skin, I'm glad you shared this so I can make my own for myself and my daughter!

You rock Kristina! I love this video! It's pretty cool what you have been sharing and showing beyond embarrassment and You did it well, no embarrassing here. I think you are RawKristina and I appreciate this a lot. I hate hair so this helps so much! Thank you to your family, your aunt for raising you well. I love it! Thanks RawKristina and your auntie too! Have a blessed day!

Why are you embarassed of your armpit hair and excuse for it? It's not obscene or anything!

I'm here because of Snapchat :) Personally I don't remove any hair, only trim it. For me it's the way my body is, and I believe hair is there for a reason. Having said that, I have friends who struggle with hair-growth where they don't want it, and have heard of sugaring. Cool you making a video about it, I just hope everyone knows hair-removal is a personal choice and if not for some medical reason not necessary to do :)

Your aunt did great! Thanks for this video, I've been looking for a good, authentic sugar wax recipe for a while now! This is truly a gem video, thanks again Kristina. Loved seeing you at the Houston Book Launch :)

You are beautiful and look positively radiant! Thank you for being brave enough to share this video! I learned something new today and can't wait to try it!

I just think there's nothi b sexier than confidence! hairy or not!

I'm not sure if you noticed this but you keep repeating the same phrase at the beginning over and over again ("Sugaring is a form of wax...")............

Hahahahahahaha "not walking around with hairy armpit" I laughed out loud, oh dear. Thanks for sharing Christina.

im half Lebanese. That is a typical old school Lebanese way of waxning, painful but so worth it. Best way of waxing 😉

Homemade natural wax!!! Thanks Auntie for sharing the recipe! Definitely trying this.

Yes, sugaring is a Middle Eastern thing. There is a cute movie called Caramel, which is about a woman who works in a beauty salon using this technique. It was actually available on Netflix awhile back.

I'll definitely try that!

oh my goodness! Tell your beautiful aunt I appreciate & love her, too! How Blessed to have a family who looks out for you like that! GOD ~given natural care, nothing is better! Thank You for sharing this!!

Wtf there is nothing wrong with having body hair

You didn't even show when you did it! I waited the whole video and you didn't show it! who's to say you didn't just shave it??

Thank you Kristina for sharing this info! I've never heard of it before and my daughter has EXTREMELY sensitive skin...we'll be trying this! I wonder if you could store in the refrigerator and use it as needed? Or perhaps if it would solidify a little too much maybe you can put it in an ice cube tray in the fridge and just pop one out and microwave it slightly when you need it!

I love sugaring! You can use it anywhere where you want to get rid of unwanted hair (upper lip as well). However, if your complexion is darker, you DO NOT want a dark sugar, you want it to be lighter because the darker the sugar the hotter it will be and by the time it cools, it will not work. Darker skin needs a lighter sugar, so don't cook it as long and take it off the stove when it's light brown (like a new, shiny, penny) and pour it into a Mason jar. If you like using the wax/muslin strips instead of using a sugar/wax ball, then use less sugar: Use this recipe when using wax/muslin strips: 1 Cup of Sugar 1/4 Cup of Lemon 1/4 Cup of Water Bring to a boil and stir until it begins to turn light brown. Once it's a walnut brown color, take off the stove and place into a Mason jar so it can cool. If the sugar runs off the knife or wax stick too fast, it's too hot. Make sure your skin is clean and free of oil or residue and place the sugar on nice and smooth. Place the muslin strip over it and rub it on top of the sugar and then pull off really quick. This works great for me and I've been doing it for years. :)

Why are you embarassed about body hair? If you're so into healthy lifestyle, I would expect you to know better. Hair grows on the body for a reason.

I think removing the hair from certain parts of the body is a very good way to feel comfortable, not just because of the focus of "beauty" but living in a place with high temperatures such as where I live, removing the hair from the armpits makes your feel fresh and not uncomfortable, feeling them hairs sticky on your skin. I remove the hair on my legs less than my armpits, but that's about it. But frankly last month I wanted to try removing the hair on the V area, and it felt better there! Less sticky and sweaty. I felt very comfortable with my cotton panties, like it aired better, if ya' know what am sayin' LOL ...Anyway +FullyRawKristina don't listen to those haters that don't understand your reasons for choosing as a grown up to keep removing your hair, who cares if it's for beauty or just feeling comfortable, it's been your choice for a very long time. I bet you must feel the comfort of removing them on that hot climate of Texas. Stay strong beautiful!

here in India some moms and grand moms make it a bit differently. they knead a tight dough of chickpea flour with very little water and coconut oil and roll it over the entire body of "babies" with light pressure who are just over 6 months old. not only does it remove all the hair but also ends up being a good massage for the baby. its believed that body hair at that age is very thin and can come of pretty much painlessly. special care is taken for female babies who by birth have more facial hair. this is done almost till the baby is 2-3 years old and after that its just ever necessary to remove any body hair as there is hardly any growth.

I've tried shaving, sugaring, soft wax, and hard wax on my arm pits and in my experience, hard wax works the best. When I had my arm pits sugared my skin was sore, red and bruised for days afterwards and it didn't even get all of the hair, a lot had to be tweezed afterwards. It was also quite painful. I didn't have any of these problems with hard wax.

For all your talk about self-love and acceptance and confidence, the way you talk about hair and your hairy armpit is weird. It just threw me off I was not expecting that

funny how you embrace "everything natural" and perceive body hair as bad

Thanx Christina. Don't listen to the ones who without real arguments try to hurt you! Cheers from Argentina!

thanks for not calling it a "treatment". I hate how the beauty industry tells people they need treatments to get rid of the hair. you're not sick!!! it's just hair.
