This is the most zero waste waxing I’ve seen and I’m here for it

[@dalek2320]

I just tried this out! Here are my thoughts: This is absolutely incredible! I have struggled for so long with body hair removal, especially around the bikini area. Shaving causes me insane ingrown hairs and irritation, while store-bought waxing strips never hold on to my hair or break it off rather than pulling it out at the root, leaving behind a sticky waxy residue that doesn’t come off. I’ve been wanting to try sugaring for a while but was too scared from those past negative hair removal results. Today I finally tried this out and I am SO IMPRESSED. The sugar seriously grabs onto hair and holds on tight. I sugared my whole bikini area and I am SO HAPPY with the results. It did hurt a lot, to be honest, but not worse than any other type of waxing. Any waxy residue comes off easily with water. I also really recommend using some kind of powder to absorb moisture. My skin is definitely red and irritated (this is normal of course) but it’s also really smooth and the pain has subsided. There are a few stray hairs that the wax didn’t grab but those can be easily removed with tweezers. I am just so so happy that I have finally found a method of hair removal that works for me. I’m going to try my underarms and legs once the hair is long enough. Maybe I can finally say goodbye to my razor! Literally cannot thank you enough for this tutorial!!!!

[@renakobi5809]

Soooo I tried this and when I put the recipe on water, it didn't seem to blend in so I waited for 15 mins with no change at all then my sister comes in and notices a weird smell Turns out I was using salt the entire time

Emily Fernandez can u use this on ur face?

[@emilyfernandez5713]

Sucmy toes yes, but I’d be careful. The skin on your face is much more sensitive. I find sugaring to be better on larger areas though. I personally refused to sugar brows because it was just too tedious and I never really got the result I was looking to get.

[@rylee2048]

Is the lemon necessary?

[@abetweene]

yes

[@charnedee721]

Can you use this on bikini???

[@gravitysdaughtr]

I did it. I finally did it. It took me 13 months (I kind you not, don't @ me) thirTEEN LOOONG MONTHS to get the dang wax mixture right. And I finally got it. I might have lost my sanity but needless to say, I'm DAAAANG SMOOTH LADIES.

[@abetweene]

[@samairacook]

This worked for me! First try! No wax experience! I followed the recipe exactly. I am normally a razor hair removal person but I was tired of having stubble a day or 2 later. I waxed both of my legs with just this recipe. My hair is thick all over and it worked. MY TIPS!! I used Tea Tree oil to line my small empty container. About 3 or 4 drops. Then rubbed in with a napkin. Be Patient! when cooking mixture, continue to stir until you just see the golden color remove from heat completely. The main thing I did different!! I tried the water on hands and that didn't work for me at all, it was waaay to sticky and stringy. I just put a couple of drops of the Tea Tree oil on my hands and it was SOOO much easier. When it got too hard to manage I microwaved for 5 to 10 seconds, then continued using. I used the baby powder just as she did and showered afterwards. I have a mixture that I use everyday I get out of the shower, it is just BABY LOTION and BABY OIL GEL mixed evenly in a pump bottle. or you can mix it in your hand. Then rub in to skin. THIS WORKED SO WELL!! Thank you soo much. Hope this helps someone!

[@MJ_247]

Citlalli Ramirez well it is waxing so I’m sure it hurts everyone to some degree unless you do it enough times because then you’ll just get used to it. But my advice is to just try it at least once or else you’ll never know how it will feel

[@leenaMu581]

i've been waxing since i was 12 and i'm 21 now. One thing my grandmas and aunts used to do is after done waxing (immediately after) is that they massage the waxed area with olive oil (make sure it's 100%. the olive oil we use we also make from scratch) . don't go under the sun with it on your skin and don't wear a clothes so the olive oil won't stain them. i prefer to wash it away after 10-15 minutes. it makes the hair grow back less darker/thicker and way slowweerr!!! if you wanna try it then please first try it on a small area to see if you're not gonna have any reaction or something and to make sure it's gonna work for you as well. 💗

[@mauradawes4456]

@@itsmisstoler4246 I can understand why people think that girls 'shouldn't' shave, their bodies, but it's their bodies, so if they like to have the prickly feeling of stubble growing back, they should be able to do that. Some girls mightn't feel comfortable with their hair and the razor is the easiest most affordable hair removal. Also, some females have darker, stiffer hair than most women - I feel for them, growing up in these societies that shame women for their natural body hair. I don't like stubble, waxing has been my thing since I discovered it, and now it's sugaring: so much better.

[@mylenecanete6147]

For the people like me that is trying to save money from sugar waxes, i do recommend this idea. This is the only video that made me try to do it on my own. It is not that complicated to do just listen to her instructions and watch carefully on how she did it and voila! Thanks a lot girl for the smooth presentation.! 😊

[@abetweene]

😘♥️♥️

[@OneDirection2V]

yes, it certainly isn't difficult. I failed the first time (overcooked it and went as hard as a rock), the second time I sorta nailed it, I added lime juice from a lime (it was small), then a quarter of a teacup of water (next time will add half a teacup of water because apparently, it wasn't enough). I think I also overcooked it this time (it tasted burnt). However, I added the rest of the water that was in the teacup (a quarter more) into the yet hot liquid sugar and surprisingly that made it work and started pulling my leg hairs out with it.

[@hottestpersonalive6620]

[@abetweene]

glad it helped !

[@haleyanais7504]

I just tried this for the first time and here are a couple tips I discovered for those of you considering it- 1. The sugar wax takes longer than expected to start boiling, foaming, and turning a darker color. I was thinking it would be 3-5 minutes. No. It took 15-20 minutes before it even started to foam for me (on med-high heat). Prepare to stand in your kitchen and stare into this pot for at least 20 minutes while simultaneously panicking that it’s burning and also wondering what you’re doing with your life. 2. If you’re like me and are making it to use right then (rather than storing it and using at a later time), don’t put the sugar wax in a jar or take it out of the pot it cooked in. I made the mistake of putting it in a jar to cool off before kneading and using it, and it was a nightmare to get out of the jar. Just let it cool/mix it in the pot and knead/use it right out of that. 3. I don’t recommend trying this for the first time if you have acrylic nails... especially long acrylics... just imagine sticky wax stuck under/on your nails forever. 4. I also don’t recommend trying this for the first time if you have roommates/other people who use the same household items as you and won’t appreciate EVERYTHING being sticky. I mean EVERYTHING (think pot, utensils, corn starch box, sink, counter, tub, floor, cat). 5. Be 100% prepared ahead of time. Have all utensils and tools ready to use when cooking, and powder, aloe, towels, etc. ready to use when sugaring. Otherwise, prepare for #4 and live the rest of your life with sticky little reminders of the day you had this terrible idea. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Being the procrastinator that I am, I found your video while working on an assignment around 11pm. It's now 2am and my legs and arms are hairless. I thought my arms would be easier to do and I was wrong. I was also learning the direction that my hair grows as I was going along. I need to work on my technique, a couple times I let go as I was pulling and the sugar went flying, it landed on the counter, mirror, toilet tank, floor, wall, & tub. The shower curtain was spared this time. Luckily I had more than enough. I saw you have a video on pedicures, but that's another video for another time I feel like procrastinating.

[@leilanidru7506]

Is it cheaper than shaving. I find myself constantly frustrate with the amount of products that are “needed to shave” I hate buying reusable razors and can’t for the life of me figure out how to use a safety razor (it isn’t an investment since I would keep repurchasing metal blades anyways and I had no idea how to properly dispose of blades or when to replace them. Safety razors were just confusing) hate the shaving creams, nair and any other shaving product you can think of. She said the wax isn’t reusable so does that mean each shaving experience is a new ball of wax? But I’m the video she flicks of hair and then re spreads the wax to remove more hair. I’m sooo confused😭😭😭 also how would using this even work for the pubic area?

[@abetweene]

Depending on where you buy your groceries, yes it can definitely be cheaper. I mean that it’s not reusable in the sense that you can’t remove your hair and then keep the used sugar in a container. once it’s full of hair and dead skin you must discard it, but while your waxing you can use the same ball for an extended period of time (i.e you can wax both armpits or legs and then throw it away). I also have a video on how I do my bikini/brazilian wax at home if you’re interested.

Here is what i learned: - I didn't cook it enough the first time so it was a goopy mess (COOK IT TILL ITS THE EXACT SAME COLOR AS HER'S) - You have to knead it right as it's hot (it hardens so fast seriously) - If you don't knead it enough its a mess and if you knead it too much it's also a mess (the water melts it) - It's easiest to use when cooler but still warm - TRIPLE the recipe if you plan to use it for both of your ENTIRE LEGS - It takes about 15-20 minutes to golden - It takes like two whole hours to wax both of your legs if you have never done it before

[@cambriaanderson1918]

a helpful tool that I found when using sugar wax is using an old credit card or plastic card to help wax. it's SOOOOO much easier than using your hands and the wax does get too warm. so instead of using wax strips or popsicle sticks, use a card. you can run it under warm water if it gets too warm after a while

This is a great video! Literally my first time waxing at home I was able to do my whole bikini area successfully. I think my sugar was a little soft so I had to use the wax strips faster than you did, but next time I'll leave the sugar on the heat a tad longer :)

[@NaturalleKeya]

I've tried this and here are my tips 💪🏾❤ DONT USE BOTTLED LEMON JUICE🍋 I made the wax using real lemon juice from actual lemons and it was perfect. I then made a second batch using "lemon juice" from a bottle and it wouldnt harden at all. Stick to the all natural ingredients for consistent results. DONT BE AFRIAD TO REMOVE POT FROM HEAT TO CHECK COLOR AND CONSISTENCY.⏳ this process takes 15 to 25 minutes. Dont rush. If you're unsure of the color, remove pot from heat, wait for the foam to simmer down and observe the color. I do this atleast 5 times while cooking the mixture. Then when I'm feeling good about the color, I do the water test. If my mixture is too runny I simply keep cooking it in 1 minute intervals. DONT GO TOO HOT TOO FAST 🔥 I actually start on medium then when it starts to boil, I go to medium high. It might take longer but it easier for me to manage. And that's all I got lol hope it can help someone out there

[@jaquettenashae9262]

Thank you so much! After binging your sugaring videos for a few days, I made it today at 2 in the morning 😂 using half the ingredients, as someone posted the exact amounts in the comments and that was super helpful, using the small amount on the spoon I used for testing it, I successfully waxed some patches on my right leg and went to sleep. I just finished my legs a few hours ago and I'm loving it! Since I don't have a microwave and it's hot and humid here, I intentionally made hard wax and put it in the sun for a few minutes and it worked like a charm. Sending you love and hugs from Morocco, North Africa ❤

Also the trick of removing immediately when it becomes golden is a great tip!! In the past, I kept screwing it up thinking it needs to be more darker. Thank you!
