Sugaring--Nina prepares sugar :)

[BlueBathRobes]

hi i tried sugaring today..

and it was a BIT overcooked, so it was sort of hard to spread over my legs.

so i added a tablespoon of water and heated it in the microwave for 15 seconds.

it became watery, so i put it on cloth and used it as a wax strip. it worked, but only some of the hair were pulled out. most of it was ripped out. how do i make it so it will pull the hairs out?

[Dendiska8]

ITS DAMN HOT ! Ouh my fingers...damn :D

[redfootwalking]

either is fine dear. :) thanks!!

[redfootwalking]

medium heat. Thank you:)

[redfootwalking]

open cover is best :) thank you dear. let me know how it works for you

[redfootwalking]

thanks!

[redfootwalking]

thank you dear. Sorry for the delay. I'm glad to hear from you!

[redfootwalking]

hi, you can leave lid off...for best results. thanks dear

[redfootwalking]

great question.

sorry for the delay in my reply.

um...the hair needs to be longer than stubble...but, just long enough to be seen...it's kind of hard for us to let hair stay on our bodies for that long, but, I promise it you'll be glad you did...hair will be much finer with each sugaring

[redfootwalking]

actually, you can, but, it's a little tricky it takes some time to perfect...I encourage you to

[redfootwalking]

tell me how it works out!!

[redfootwalking]

honey and molasses probably will do fine, however, I can't recall the exact measurement required. let's see

[redfootwalking]

Hugs!

[redfootwalking]

thank you TheMimia26 for your interest.

this works great on facial hair. For brows...be extra careful...you don't want to remove too much hair. upper lip...I do that all the time and it works like a charm...but,

do powder your skin first...this keeps sugar from sticking to skin. :)

[mrsavi2008]

hi, namaste i want to know how long we keep this wax and which jar is good to keep . 2- i use 2 cups ok sugar and 1/4 cup ok water and lemon juice but it will not come proper can u tell me y ?

[redfootwalking]

Namaste!

mrsavi2008, thank you for your interest. I believe you need to stir sugar mixture in pot on medium heat. allow to boil and stir. keep stirring and watch for sugar to darken and once it's the color of dark copper...you are very close to the right mixture. please don't give up. the first and sometimes 2nd time around are tough, but, it will improve. please contact me on facebook to chat about it if you want to. thanks dear. facebook id is ninalovesdr.pepper

thanks again

[uSia5]

i`ve just made that, and I burned a pot and all haouse smelly

[redfootwalking]

oh, I'm sorry to hear you had a little disaster. :( let's try again...contact me on facebook or check out my myspace page and I will see what i can do. :)

[788g]

what temperature need the sugaring ?

[redfootwalking]

hi, the temp should be around 350 degree F.

if you don't have the on your stovetop...medium heat is best. thanks!

[sweetymakeup]

I have 2 small doubts...Your video shows 2 cups of sugar and your description says 1 cup..Which is right 1 cup or 2 cups?? And Can you tell me till when we need to boil the sugar..i mean if suppose if we pour this wax in water what form will it take Nina..1)solluble in water (light consistency or 2)a coin(medium consistency) or will it be 3)very thick ball that gets attached in the water bowl(i.e thick consistency)?

[redfootwalking]

sorry for your doubts.

actually both will work. one comes out thicker, but, the results aren't much different.

I've been sugaring for 18 years and I think they both do just as good. :) thanks

[sweetymakeup]

Hiiye Nina..Nice Informative Videos ..God bless you and your beautiful daughters..I first subscribed to your channel on youtube..so you are in a way are special to me..

[redfootwalking]

thank you sweety!

[comets69]

my secodn attept has failed again! this is hard!

[redfootwalking]

sorry comets69. please contact me on facebook...we can chat there. :) okay?

[themeloninc]

What is sugaring? What do you do with the stuff in the jar after?

[redfootwalking]

oh, you can keep the sugar in the jar for a long time. it's a great body hair remover. :)

[NenaR75]

I need help bad, I followed it but at first it was a little too runny. So I went home and cooked it a little more. It seemed to work but when I try to roll it in a ball like you do to use after some time it sticks to my skin and not even with the strips does it come off. What am I doing wrong?

[redfootwalking]

NenaR75. thanks for your comment. I apologize for the delay.

pls contact me via facebook where we can chat about the sugaring.

ninalovesdr.pepper...

[tamster66]

I just made my first batch. It is a dark amber. It looks darker than yours. Can you overcook it?

[redfootwalking]

it can be overcooked, but, mostly, it's still useable. :)

[tamster66]

I love all of your videos! They are very helpful and I love how sweet you are!

[redfootwalking]

thank you tamster66! hugs!

[FlyingFanC]

I'm here again just tried it and it still doesn't work.. it did remove some hairs but after a while it became really sticky and it was hard to put on skin because it was just like clay (if thats a word) i kept warming it up but yea ... help! and I tried to make a new one it's cooling off now but it has a caramel color.. =S did I fail again? I hope to hear from you ASAP!! cause beach is this sunday already!

[FlyingFanC]

Just tried it today and it didn't work though mine somehow turned out really sticky but it doesn't stick in on my skin.. =/ I don't know did I burn it?? gonna try tommorow again =) I'll be back to comment ;)

[roboticmehdi]

hi nina. its me. 2 weeks ago i tried sugaring for the first time and it was complete success. thank you very much for all !!!!! :))))))))

[redfootwalking]

YEAH!!! HUGS!! I love to hear great news!! thanks for your input!

[geekxlove81]

used your recipe and sugared for the first time this week! I am so excited about this, did my underarms today and i am so pleased with the results - i dont think ill ever be shaving them again! I didn't use cloth strips, but prefered to ball the sugarwax and use it on its own. Thanks for the video!

[lilcuties121]

Awesome vid :]

I was wondering , if yuu were to use freshly squeezed orange juice, how would yuu know when it`ll be done ? Like what colour ?

[lilcuties121]

This vid sure helped :]

& i was wondering , if you used freshly squeezed orange juice , when would it be done ? Like the colour ?

Thanks Again . :D

[NoOneJbQc]

could u use this on your arms?

[FXerGerFra]

I guess i'm to dumb for that my stuff is looking pretty mutch the same as the one in the vid i guess but its just becoming hard beeing cooled down i mean it would be perfect for som caramel decoration but not to use as wax.

Am I doing somting wrong like heating to fast ? Not using enough substance making it bad to control ? Not heating long enough?

Would it maybee help to use more liquid ?

I did one with 1:1 and well it went like chewingum only thiner and stickyer but it took a hair ...

[Raezuvlite]

Hi there Nina! First of all, THANK YOU for sharing this!! :D

Um..I am having a bit of a problem tho with the hair actually breaking off instead of coming out..do you have any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks again!!

[mravitj]

hey,you are salvation for all the women around the world (for example,im from croatia)

i just have one question; when you wax with it,in which direction you must pull?

[roboticmehdi]

and one more thing. how long the hair should be to use sugaring ??? tank u very much !!!

[roboticmehdi]

hi nina. i have a qustion. some websites offer to pull of the direction of hair growth. ( not against). what do u suggest? and is it true that hair growth slows down by the time when using sugaring. and do we need cloth? and and is it ok to save it at room temprature? and sorry. many question :))))

[2crzychocobunnies]

it not working for me why? it's been three days since i've shaved do i hav to wait longer

[JudyWonn]

i went to a website and it saisd 2 cups

[ShikiTenryuu]

When you want sugaring paste you use two cups but when you want sugaring wax you use one cup.

I know from experience

[redfootwalking]

Hi there, omgltsAddieXD, I think you can try vinegar such as apple cider vinegar, the time and all are a bit different, but, they will work... thanks!!

[doktorpimko]

thank you nina

there was very helpfull

[redfootwalking]

hello there doktorpimko, I'm glad you found it helpful, have a great day and you're most welcome!!!! :0)

[Sandreeziee]

hey nina,

well im deffinely thinking about tryng this sugaring method out but...i dont have a gas stove like you i have an electric stove so what temp do i put it on...?

like high, med high, medium, or low? please let me know thanks

[redfootwalking]

Hi there Sandreeziee, I am so thankful to you for watching my video!! :0)

You can set the heat on medium and once the sugar begins to dissolve, try turning up to high and keep it on high until it boils. Remember to stir constantly when it's hot to avoid burning sugar...also you can remove pot from stove to control the boiling and bubbling. Thanks!!

[desicoolchick]

hey hun, thx for this video, how long does the hair have to be for fhe sugaring to work, i have just made my first batch, and was wondering if it work on short hair?

look forward to your reply thx.

[redfootwalking]

Hello there desicoolchick, the hair should be a little longer than stubble...you know how a man's face looks after a day or two without shaving...well, wait until the hair is a bit longer than that...I know it will be nerve racking, but, it will be easier to sugar and the next time, the hair should be finer and easier to remove. The hair can be short, but you will have to go over the spot twice or so...that is something I've experienced. :0) take care dear, let me know!! :0)

[tennischampchic]

Hello Nina,

I was just wondering a couple of things. After you have made the mixture and poured it in the jars, where would be the best place to keep them. Also, after the mixture has hardened and you want to re-use it, how would you go about doing that?? Thank you so much for your videos and thnx for your videos!!

[redfootwalking]

Hello there tennischampchic, thanks for watching my video. You can store the jars in any dark, room temperature or cooler location. I usually store my jars in the kitchen pantry and once I begin using that jar, I'll store it in my bathroom medicine cabinet or under the sink. You will need to either warm up jar w/out lid in microwave for 15 seconds or less, stir...or place jar in a larger bowl of hot, hot water for 20 minutes or so. :0) let me know how it goes :0) thanks!!

[xAnukisx]

Namaste :D I appreciate you sharing your tips with us! I can't wait to try this but I'm very nervous as I've always had very, VERY thick hair :x you can always see my dark roots and I'm hoping this will help that out!

[redfootwalking]

Namaste to you too, dear, :0)

I'm glad you are enjoying this video...I wished I would take time to add more soon...this will work great and I know what you mean about the dark roots...I had to help my neighbor out the other day by letting her have one of my unused jars of sugar...she was going to a wedding and didn't want to go back to shaving and didn't want to "disappoint me" lol She has been very happy with the sugar and I hope she'll send me a feedback here soon. :0) hehehe

[lavendarkittes]

Hi, I tried it today and I failed...horribly. First I used freshly squeezed orange juice instead of lemon juice, so my foam was this gross buttery looking color. And the mixture turned into this very light golden amber. It was really bubbly so i took it off the stove to see the actual color. It wasn't dark enough so i made bubbly again, but then when i took it off the stove to see the color, it solidified on me! Did I cook it too long? Or did I leave it off the heat too long?

[redfootwalking]

I'm sorry you failed...but, don't give up...it will improve for you over a bit of practice. The problem with cooking or simmering sugar is that it's a delicate process and it should boil several times and managed until the sugar bubbles are dark or at least an amber color...like an old penny. I can't say how long it takes because I have made this in 20 minutes and sometimes in only 10, but, somewhere around 15-18 minutes is about normal, I guess. :0) thanks, let me know.

[kattykatze]

Hi nina I just had some questions...

Do you apply/remove it as wax? what happens if you use more sugar?

and by the way, what's the name of the song ? (it sound familiar, I probably heard the vocals used in a remix)

[redfootwalking]

Hello there kattykatze, thanks for watching my video and thanks for your patience, it's been crazy around here lately. LOL...a good kind of crazy, though. :0)

You do remove the sugar and apply it the same way as sugar, if you use more sugar, no problem just rinse off excess with warm, clear water, the name of the song...I cannot recall, but, I will try to get back to you on that. :0) I love that song. :0) take care, Nina

[sWeEtCaNdYgIrL5]

hi nina, been watching your video again and again but not sure whether when to start but i think i'll try this sat...hope i'll succeed on the first attempt...wish me luck ....

[redfootwalking]

Hello, the first time is kind of tricky, after you get used to it, it will be really easy and quick...and, the most awesome part of sugaring is you can make it yourself and store it in any place in your home. :0) take care and I wish you the best of luck!

[sWeEtCaNdYgIrL5]

hi nina, i've been watching your video again and again but i'm a bit worried to make the first move thinking whether it will succeed or not....shaving use to be my preferred way of removing hair but hassle coze you got to do it everyday...and creams from the pharmacies stinks...i'm going to try it anyway this sat...wish me luck ..... :-)

[redfootwalking]

Hello dear,

if you have any problems or anythng...just let me know...I'll try my best to give you

good information to help. take care and thanks for watching my video! :0) Nina

[redfootwalking]

Hi there LiveLoveandJonas1, I'm so glad to hear from you...I'm glad this is of help. You can use the color of the bubbles as a cue...a thermometer is required...I have found the darker the bubbles, the better...so, make sure they turn darker than a penny...or a deep caramel color. I hope this helps...let me know and take care!! Nina :0)

[not2blonde4you]

:] I think I'll try this!

Did you keep the heat on the entire time it was on the stove? Apporximately how high was the heat and for how long did you have it heating?

-thanks!-

[redfootwalking]

hey there not2blonde4you! :0) cute name!

um, you will have to turn the heat down at times or remove pan from stove at times to prevent this mixture from boiling over. I use a gas stove, so, I will usually just turn the heat down a bit. Usually, 15 minutes up to 30 minutes depending on a lot of factors...sometimes, I was done in 10 minutes...isn't that something!! ;0) take care, tell me what you think. Nina

[mona7mony]

thank u :]]

this is so helpful !

[redfootwalking]

Hi there mona7mony!

thank you and I'm glad you found me here and like the vid!!

have a great day!

Nina

[LoveNaitomea]

can u use brown sugar?

[redfootwalking]

Hello LoveNaitomea, sorry for the delay in my reply...I'm getting ready for my cousins high school graduation and party! ;0)

You can use brown sugar, however, the times will vary and the consistency will also be different, but, if you follow the recipe, pack the sugar tight when measuring it to get the right measure. Thank you...let me know if that works for you! :0) take care

[rivver60]

hi nina! what kind of juice should i use? i used ready to drink lime juice. the ingredients of lime juice are citric acid, sugar and lime..... but the sugar is so oily.

should i use 100% natural juice?

[redfootwalking]

hello there rivver60, thanks for watching my video. sorry for the delay; the last weeks of school are so crazy busy! :0) I suggest using a juice which is 100% juice; because the other ingredients may alter the consistency. If you have fresh limes; that's fine also. :0) I have used grapefruit, orange, lemon and lime juices...some were fresh, others were the bottled kind from concentrate; no sweetener added. thanks!! let me know if that helps! ;0) Nina

[rivver60]

are there any alternative for lemon juice? instead of lemon, can we use orange juice?

[redfootwalking]

hi there, lime, orange, grapefruit or lemon juice will be fine. :0) thanks for watching my video!

[angOclaire]

hi nina! this is realy cool...but i have a few questions.. i made a batch of this but it was not anywhere near as dark as yours, my batch is now cooling. when i was making mine it was boiling alot and i tried to stir it but it was bubbling and boiling alot. are these two things ok? also how long total should it be on the stove? when i go to actually remove the hair can i just spread it on my leg with a spoon and somehow pull it off with my hands? thanks your awesome!

[redfootwalking]

Hello there angOclaire, thank you for your interest in sugaring and for your patience with it all.

I apologize for taking so long to reply, I have been out a lot running so many errands. :) I will send a link to a page that I put together about the sugaring questions you and others have because I think it will be most helpful. If that page isn't helpful, just let me know, I will send a link in a few minutes. Thanks!! Nina

[dromycatcher]

can you use cane sugar as well?

[redfootwalking]

Hello there dromycatcher,

I feel cane sugar should be able to work fine. The time it takes to prepare my be slightly longer, perhaps; but, I feel it should work fine. :0) Thank you for watching my video and for your question.

Nina

[fku4dollarzbitch]

ok stilll waiting for a reply thnx x x

[redfootwalking]

Hi there, well...I think you'll have to redo it...sorry for the burnt smell...at least you're on the right track...just a little shorter cooking time. I so very much apologize for the delay...my mind is somewhere else. (It's spring) :0)

[Jbellaire]

I tried making this and its still to sticky. I used one cup of sugar instead of 2 because your info on the side says 1 cup, but in your video you used 2. Is it possible the info in the side box is wrong?

[redfootwalking]

I thank you for your question. I apologize for the confusion. On the video, I added 2 cups of sugar, 1/4 cup water and 1/4 lemon juice. Actually, the recipe that I should have done was the 1 cup sugar...I was trying out something and I wasn't taking into consideration to explain that. LOL I was on a different planet. :) thanks!! Nina

[fku4dollarzbitch]

hi i trid this today but i think i burnt it i kept te heat of the cooker high for the whole 15 mins.... wen i put it in the bowl few mins l8r cheked it wiw a spoon and it was soo hard cudn moveit and the whole place stank of a burnt smell lol..so cud u tell me shud i keep the gas high medium, or low throught the 15 mins and wat did i do wrng lol...and hw lng do i have to wait after i put it in the bowl to use it and wen i want to use it agan do i have to heat it in the microwave xx

[audaciiousss]

Okay. I think I need help. :(

It came out the same way yours did, I followed everything step-by-step.

BUT FOR SOME REASON, the mixture always feels like it`s burning my skin. EVEN IF I WAIT FOR IT TOO COOL; the only time it isn`t hot it is rock hard like, ROCK hard.

I tried leaving it to cool for a few hours then reheating it for a 15 secs, it was too hot, and I have some minor burns on my skin.

[redfootwalking]

I hope you're doing fine...I am so sorry for the delay in reply...sugar can be painfully hot when it's hot...it can really burn and I hope you're okay. You may have overcooked the sugar and that would be a reason it's getting too hot and then, hardening too fast. Please always blow sugar when on a spoon or something. If it's flowing faster than molasses, it's too hot. Take care and please accept my apologies for the delay in reply, it was totally unintentional. :) Nina

[marianadeem786]

Hey I have to heat my wax for at least 1 minute before it melts.. and then its just too hot to use.. thnx 4 ur help

[redfootwalking]

Hi there marianadeem786, thank you for your interest in sugaring and I apologize for the delay in reply, I didn't even realize I had comments and so, I just kind of was on another planet or something. :)

Try warming sugar for 15 seconds. Sit aside for about a minute of two...stir and remove a bit of it with a knife or spoon. Blow it well and if it's dripping, it's way too hot. If it's sticking to the spoon, it's still hot; but blow to cool and test with your finger tip or elbow...but

[redfootwalking]

continued-

but only when you're sure it's cool enough.

if it doesn't stick, it could be because the skin isn't dry enough (dust w/powder) or a teeny bit oily (the powder will fix that). Please tell me how that works. I apologize again for the delay. :0) Nina

thanks for your interest in sugaring and for watching my video! :0)

[marianadeem786]

Hey Nina.. I have to heat my wax for at least a minute for it to melt. However its just soo hot to use. have I burnt it maybe....Thnxx agennn

[marianadeem786]

heyy agen, erm when I heat it for 10-15 secs, its still rock solid. I have to heat it for at least 1 minute for it to melt. which is too tooo hot. Thanks agen. appreciate it. xxxxxx

[xXForgott3nXx]

hi nina, is this suppose to smell funny because i made it and mine smell sort of odd

[redfootwalking]

Hi there...odd smelling :0( MMmmm, I think it should smell like caramel or hot candy. :) sorry it took me so long 2 reply...I goofed :0)

[marianadeem786]

hEYYY nINA..I tried to make it, and it looks very much like yours. However when I heat it, its too hot, and when I wait for it to cool down a bit its not nice and runny. Thanks a lot for ur videos by the wayyy ts such a help to us all

[redfootwalking]

Hello marianadeem786, thanks for watching my video! I am so glad you're interested in sugaring. Try this...allow the sugar to completely cool after you pour it into a microwave safe container. Once cooled, it should be firm. If it is completely firm, that's great...now, when you're ready to use, just warm up in the microwave for 10-15 seconds...just long enough to get the middle of the bowl soft, then stir well, once you can pick up sugar on a spoon and it not be too runny; blow well and try

[redfootwalking]

make sure to be careful, as the sugar holds heat well.

Sometimes, I've had to heat sugar twice during a full leg sugaring...so, if it gets cool, just warm up a little bit.

I hope this helps and thanks for contacting me and for your interest in sugaring!! :) Nina

[ShadowedxTruth]

Hm. I think I will try this once I get my hands on some lemon juice. Does lime juice work too?

[redfootwalking]

Hi there!!!!

thanks for watching!

lime juice will work great!

[Janina437]

im kinda confused. so how do we know when to stop heating it?

[redfootwalking]

Hello Janina437, thanks for watching my video.

Preparing sugar varies from batch to batch and from person to person because of so many factors such as humidity and elevation.

The best way to know is by the fact that the sugar goes through several boils...where you allow it to come to a boil; bubbles form, you temporarily remove from heat and bring to a boil again...continue stirring and once the bubbles which form are brown/dark brown in color and the sugar mixture has darkened

[redfootwalking]

continued...

you can test the sugar by allowing it to completely cool...this will hours. If it's firm to touch; it's perfect; if it's runny; go back and cook longer. It just takes trial and error because it varies greatly (the kind of sauce pan, etc.) hang in there and if you have any questions, I'm here! :0) take care, Nina (thanks again for watching my video)

[meow0meow7]

I seem to have burnt mine... it's rock solid.

[redfootwalking]

hi there, when it cools, it will be solid, when you're ready to use it, you'll have to warm it back up in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, and stir the middle into the sides of the sugar. :0) thanks!

[SheWritesToLive]

Mine came out too watery. lol. We should do this together, maybe we'll find a medium. ha ha.

[redfootwalking]

Hello and thank you for watching my videos. You should simmer or lightly boil this a bit longer...it's going to depend on the altitude and humidity of your area; but, it will take another 15 minutes, perhaps...I'm glad you have the correct color, now, just simmer a bit longer...try to allow the mixture to come to a boil, remove from heat (or turn down heat), bring back to a boil and stir...continue this for a couple more times. Thanks!

[q1keroppi]

hey nina,

i tried doing mine last night and it turned out all watery like and not at all solid. i uesd 2 cups of brown sugar (thats all i had) 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup lime juice. what happened?

[redfootwalking]

Hi there, try cooking this a lot longer, it should bubble, foam and the bubbles will almost be a brownish color. Turn down heat until sugar settles down a bit; then, turn up heat again and continue cooking...it will take about 15 minutes...give or take. :0) I hope this helps! Thanks for watching my video. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me! :0) Nina

[MinervaHeppner]

Hey Nina!

The lemon juice you're using.. What kind is it? Can it be anything you can get in a store, does it have to have a certain percentage on the label..? Or can I just squeeze out a couple of lemons at home?

[redfootwalking]

Hello MinervaHeppner,

how are you doing? Thanks for watching my videos. Yes, any kind of lemon juice whether freshly squeezed or from concentrate (bottled) is just fine!! :0) Thanks!! :0)

[redfootwalking]

Please reheat this sugar and allow to cook on the stove at medium-high for about 15 minutes...give or take...allow to cool at room temperature.

[MasqueradePuppet]

Can you use this method without a candy thermometer? ANd thanks for the recipe you're amazing :)

[redfootwalking]

Hi there and thanks for watching my video!

You don't have to have a candy thermometer or anything special. :0) Thank you!! I feel very much inspired by your kindness! :0)

[mrsalsaidi2008]

Is there anyway you can subsitute lemon juice for something else?? thanks

[redfootwalking]

Hi there and thanks for your interest in sugaring!

You can use the same measurements of lime juice, vinegar, orange juice, grapefruit juice...Thanks!

if you have any other questions, please let me know!! :0) I'll be happy to help!

[dianawantsagiraffe]

i burnt mine

[hacker00797]

mine got burned :D i used orange juice :D

[legit3700]

hey nina thanks for sharing but i seem to have a problem this is my 3rd batch i made andit gets rock solid hard is there something im doing wrong? but i follow the direcrions to your video and it looks the same color, i have no clue and i got it on my countertop its stuck=[.

[AnaQ8yAna]

what is the tool you used in the fifth minute of the video ?? it wasnt a spoon or a fork.. i dont know what you used it for..

thanks for the video, it makes me feel hungry lol :P

[redfootwalking]

Hi there AnaQ8yAna, I used a plastic, child sized butter knife. :) hehehehe

Belongs to my little gir''s kitchen toy set. :)

[AnaQ8yAna]

Hahaha!!

Thanks .. You see Sugaring is really awesome when you do it to small parts on your body.. but it kills me if i ding it full body.. I just can not do it alone. All spas here havent even heard of it lol! its a shame.

[redfootwalking]

:0) hehehe, thanks for watching my video!!

Yep, a lot of salons are like "what? body waxing? What's that?" lol

It takes me short time to do the entire body head to toe (after this many years of practice) but, I have to make sure I have nothing else to do for a while because it's a sticky job, you can't go answer the phone with sugar on your fingers...or, it will be in your hair...I did that once...so then, not only was a sugaring, I did a shampoo too. lol

[AnaQ8yAna]

back home, salons do it for $30 FULL BODY.. I guess I'll wait till summer lol.. Cheers :P

[redfootwalking]

Hi there!!! :)

Thanks for watching my video and I hope to hear from you again soon!! :) I know you're looking forward to going back home. LOL I don't blame you one bit!!! :0) LOL

[imb0redmehehe]

My wax got really hard really quick

what went wrong?

[redfootwalking]

Hi, was it when you finished cooking it? Well if that is the case, you may have overcooked it...but, if it was after you prepared it and began using it, you can just rewarm it in the microwave. :0) let me know... :0) thanks for watching my video!! Nina

[sunna07]

HI Nina!

ur videos are great but i tried it 2 times and it didnt work ..i want to do the the ball method... but when im done with the sugar paste it cools to being rock hard! and if i heat it it gets wayy to hot to use... any suggestions? thanks

when do you turn the fire off?

[redfootwalking]

Hi there! Thanks for watching my video. You will need to cook this long enough for the bubbles to be all over the surface and have a hint of brown in the bubble's color...so, it will all depend on that...if the sugar is amber or dark, that should be long enough. :0) thanks!! :)

[imb0redmehehe]

Thanx ill be trying it today

[Avidcita]

hi nina! thanks for ur video!! I just tried to make it, but it didnt work, could u tell me what went wrong? I followed every step!!

thanx

:D

[redfootwalking]

Hi there Avidcita,

the sugar didn't work? Do you mean it didn't come out right or do you mean it didn't remove the hair? Please don't give up, here's what you'll need to do, if it's the sugar, you can reheat it over the stove, making sure it's very brown in color. Allow to cool in a jar or container overnight before using...let me know what exactly the sugar is or isn't doing and I'll be thrilled to help out if I can!! :0) take care!! Nina

[Avidcita]

well actually, I thought it did come out right, it felt like honey but, the color wasnt that brown its was more like amber. anyway I will do as u said, I will reheat it!! I wont give up!!

I havent use it!! I was afraid to end up like a lollipop if the sugar wasnt ok. :P

[sooummyeah]

hi thanks for putting up these great videos about sugaring. ive been doing research about it and have waxed before but want to try something less paintful. i'll try this technique and see how it goes. :) do you think using an old sock cut into squares would be ok for the actual process? thanks!!

[redfootwalking]

hi there! sorry for the delay in my reply. I think an old sock could work; I would give it a try. :) take care,

Nina

[redfootwalking]

[apatte4975]

the trick for me is knowing when to remove the pot off the stove to prevent overcooking.

[apatte4975]

[redfootwalking]
