Hair Removal Methods - Sugaring

If the sugaring (or Persian waxing) sounds a lot like waxing, you are correct. The process is very similar—apply a sticky paste to the skin, apply paper or cloth and simply rip it away quickly to take away unwanted hairs. And like waxing, this process lasts longer than tweezing, can be done in the comfort of your own home and is quite inexpensive. And the cons are the same—hairs breaking below or at the surface making hair harder to remove, the paste is messy, it’s not recommended for larger areas, you can break out or get an infection and it’s hard to fix your mistakes and/or be consistent. One main difference between sugaring and waxing is that sugaring is less painful, because it doesn’t need to be heated as high and sticks to the hair, not the skin. Not many professionals offer sugaring, so it’s pretty much an at-home process. But you can find a kit in your local drugstore or beauty supply to perform this process for around $10 to $20. This process goes back to 1900 BC in Egypt.
