What Is Sugaring?
Sugaring removes hair with a sticky paste traditionally made from sugar, lemon juice and water. The paste is applied against the direction of hair growth and removed in the direction of growth, which helps reduce breakage and irritation for many people. It works on short hair too, so you can often book sooner than with wax.
Sugaring vs Waxing
- Sugaring: sugar-based paste, often chosen for sensitive skin, and it removes hair in the direction of growth.
- Waxing: hard wax or soft wax applied in the direction of growth and removed against it, with hard wax suited to sensitive areas.
