Do you sugar wax at home? Do you have any more tips?

Please give details

Hello! I know a lot of people like to use things like corn starch, baby powder, arrowroot starch, etc on its own. If it works for you that is great! However, I have noticed that when I use things like this, I don't get the best absorption of moisture and my Sugaring ultimately doesn't work as well as when I use the Pixie Protection Powder from Sweet and True. The way it is blended really makes a great absorbent formula that is also non-toxic. I am always trying new things however, and I am not sponsored in any way by this company, but I will continue using this product until I find one that works the same or better.

Great to hear, I am honored!

I’m so glad!

Glad to help!

Thank you for watching.

So glad you enjoyed it! For this service I believe I used the same ball of sugar the whole time, but sometimes I will change it out during the service depending on the amount of hair or the temperature of the room ☺️

Hello, great question. I warm my Medium up usually at around a 3 on my Sweet and True double Warmer. Keep in mind, the paste temp selection will depend on the season (room temp), and how full the jar is. In summer I do not heat my Soft, but in winter I keep in it the lowest heat. A full jar necessitates being kept at a higher heat to remain the right temp than one that is almost empty. I recently did a deep dive on Sugar paste temps on my channel, please take a look.

Yes, to avoid spreading of the Sugar past the control point on your glove, try to keep all the Sugar contained below the knuckles. If some gets past, you can always spread the Sugar you have across the skin and pick it back up in a neater, smaller shape. Keep the thumb connected to the fingertips moving in a circular motion while not applying to the skin to keep it in the control point.

@@hyraniinstitute thank you so much, looks simple but is really hard, keeping try. ❤️

@@Mainakill it’s hard at first but keep practicing, you got this!

Great question. Sometimes it is hard to control room temp in the summer - however the ideal temp is always 69-72 degrees F no matter the season. Air circulation is important, so if a good A/C system is not an option, opt for a standing or handheld fan to remedy this. Always adjust your Sugar temp and paste selection based on the room temp - the hotter is is, the cooler and harder your Sugar paste should be to prevent melting. I have recently posted a Sugaring temp video that deep dives into this topic.

Everything I used here is from Sweet and True Sugaring for professionals.

Upwards would be flicking straight up, in which case the Sugar would not flick off and it would pull the skin, causing a bruise. I am flicking parallel to the skin to achieve the most painless removal. When flicking down the leg you will be flicking towards the foot.

This service took about 45 minutes

Full leg appointments can take anywhere from 30 mins to 2 hours, this appointment took me 45 mins.

Hello Melissa, thanks for your comment. It is very important not to contaminate the Sugar container, which is why I only ever touch the skin with my left glove (non-Sugaring hand) and never with the right glove. I will dip in to the Sugar container with the right glove that has never touched the skin. If by chance I do contaminate the glove by touching something that was not sanitized, I will change gloves before dipping into the Sugar jar.

No, with Sugaring, the hair grows back thinner, less dense and baby soft. It takes several weeks to regrow

Proper posture and hand positioning is critical.

Yes. It is not heated up to a high temp, rather just "warmed" up closer to lukewarm water. Also, the plastic is BPA Free, and the Sugar is not being consumed, so if you get coffee in a To-Go cup at any point, you are definitely consuming more micro plastics and PFAS than getting a Sugaring treatment. I am, however, interested in the idea of having Sugar paste stored in a glass container, but I can imagine the logistical nightmare that this would be for companies selling Sugar paste. Not only to carefully store and transport safely to buyers, factoring in the loss of many broken jars, and the higher shipping costs that would incur to mail heavy packages of glass Sugar containers. This would drive up the cost of services significantly for customers as the shipping charges would increase the cost of operations for businesses. Alas, until a Sugar manufacturer remedies all of these concerns, we are stuck with the plastic containers, which I am not too upset about.
