Making and using Sugar Wax PART 2

RECIPE: 2 CUPS SUGAR, ¼ CUP LEMON JUICE, ¼ CUP WATER
(Sorry I said the wrong recipe in the video)


MAKING THE SUGAR WAX:
Using a gas stove:

1.Put the ingredients in a saucepan and heat it on high. It will boil for approximately ten minutes.

2. Watch the bubbles carefully and when the bubbles turn a light brown color, turn the heat down till it's as low as it can be. The wax should be turning a golden brown color.

3. Let it simmer for about another five minutes while watching very very carefully.
When the wax turns golden brown like the color in my videos then it is done.

(When the wax is on step three and is simmering take a tiny bit out on a spoon and run cold water over it. When it cools enough to touch, it should be stretchy. You can test it on your arm. Do this about every two minutes while the wax is simmering until it stretches out on your arm and pulls off easily. If it sticks and won't come off it's not done and if it's brittle you've overcooked it.)

MAKING WAX USING AN ELECTRIC STOVE:

Follow the same steps but reduce the time alot.

Cook the wax on medium for 5 to 8 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 6-10 minutes.

Watch the bubbles carefully and when the wax reaches the correct take it off heat immediately.

OTHER INFO:
Sugar waxing is very inexpensive to use. I use a method of pulling the wax up against the hair and then yanking it down. If you pull the wax off against the direction of hair you are only breaking off the hair strands and hair will grow back much faster. Also you can use an ice cube to close and tighten pores after waxing.

If you like to use strips then this is another way:

Put it on warm against the direction of hair growth (for example up your leg) , put your strip of cotton on (a towel, or old t shirt works) rub in the against the direction of the hair growth and yank it off with hair growth. Try not to get it on too thick (You can use a Popsicle stick for an applicator).

For storage put the hot wax into a glass container that won't melt. You can put it in the microwave to reheat it for use.

how do you get rid of the wax off the pot -__-

My sugar gets kind of hard when I leave it out. And then I try to heat it up in the microwave it gets TOO hot! Any suggestiions?

goodyfan you should use something that is soothing & antibacterial that's appropriate for area you've waxed to prevent skin infection. And also after first 24 Hrs exfoliate waxed area for a few days with a Loofa spelled?? anyway to help prevent ingrown hairs.

imorganoo try spreading paste then rubbing a piece of clean cotton strip over paste then rip off strip quickly for shorter hair it may help. and if you ever try a Brazilian make sure you trim hair short before waxing or it will be like trying to get gum out of a carpet and you have to rip hard! I screamed so loud my grand kids came running and tried getting in room they thought I was dying. I MEAN OOOOOUCH!!!!!!

Just for anyone who's curious I found that if you first scoop/pour out as much as you can, then fill the pot with water and bring it to a boil, it will dissolve the remaining sugar and you can easily pour the rest out.

@x0x0wetwet Just run it under hot water its water soluble so it should just melt off.
