Sugaring without Strips

Hair Removal Methods Waxing and Sugaring
#1

I have been sugaring (with and without the strips depending on the outcome of what I make) for about a year and a half now, and recently I have really been trying to figure out how to make the substance so that it is the kind I don’t have to use strips, but I am not able to do it consistently, with or without a thermometer. I have been treating it like a science experiment, with writing down the temperatures I use on the stove, what kind of pot I am using, temperature the liquid gets to, EVERYTHING, but I am still unable to get it right. Does anyone have a really good recipe, because I have tried everyone I have found on the web, with every possible variation, and still I am not satisfied. Please help, because it is starting to drive me nuts!

wow that is difficult. i sugar without using strips. never did use the strips loool. only for a waxing kit i bought. There is an art to making the sugar come out perfect and no matter what i tell you on here its not going to help unless you SEE someone do it.

u really have to watch someone do it. i never use thermometers or anything like that. usually my makes it. makes alot then i’ll use some and store it in the freezer for next time.

the key thing here (after making it perfectly) is handling it in your hand. its VERY hot and u need to be patient and u might have to work with it using a spoon before u can hold it in ur hand and kneed it to achieve the right malleable stickiness. and when it gets hard or not sticky enough, adding some water or spit and kneeding it again might help.

i’ve tried explaining this to ppl before but it never works. u REALLY have to see someone do it. if u have a middle eastern friend or north african friend ask them to show u and teach u. u can even ask them to make it and kneed it for u and u can store it in ur freezer for whenever u need to use it.

good luck!
