Heat the wax so that it has a liquid form, both in a professional heater and in a water bath. It is necessary to act very clearly and accurately so that the nerve endings do not have time to react.

Important! For work take a bee product of different temperatures.

With hot and warm wax, experts in this field who have skills and skill will be better able to cope. But the cold composition can be successfully used and at home, applying it to strips of special paper.

In a solid product made from a resin or oil mixture, oils are added for the desired viscous consistency. To obtain a soft wax to make depilation, honey and beeswax are added to the pine resin as softening agents.

Important! Waxing is especially effective at a length of hairs of 5-6 mm.

For warm wax, the best option is body temperature. It is sold in cartridges and heated on a special stand. The agent applied to the skin, after hardening, is sharply removed together with hair and strips for depilation.

Hot wax mass( 38-43 degrees) is applied with a spatula or spatula on the bikini zone in the direction of hair growth. Further, the agent, which after a time has solidified, is removed by one precise movement in the direction opposite to the growth of the hairs.

Depilation strips

You can also make depilation with wax in the form of ready-made strips or with a roller applicator. In order to reduce pain, you can use strong non-woven strips.

Important! If the wax is too cold, then it can be slightly heated in your hands.

As a rule, the procedure is completed by applying to the treated skin a soothing agent that is able to prevent irritation, as well as remove the hair remnants.

Important! Some believe that it is necessary to remove such strips abruptly, while covering as much as possible of the skin. Others advise to shoot gradually and very carefully. In the second case, the process is actually carried a little easier, and the pain sensations become weaker.

Make depilation at home is not difficult, but painful enough, so it is better not to use waxing for people who are very sensitive to pain. In women, the threshold of pain is much higher in the middle of the menstrual cycle, so it is better to conduct this procedure precisely during this period. In addition, to reduce pain, you can drink before the Nurofen pill or after the procedure, apply a cooling gel to the skin.

Important! It is believed that the most painful area is the face, therefore it is necessary to apply wax strips above the upper lip very carefully.

The effect of depilation with the help of wax strips lasts about 3 weeks. Gradually, the hairs will grow thin and thin, and the interval between sessions will increase.

• Relatively high cost.

• Natural components after the procedure are easily washed off, do not cause harm to health.
• After the sugar treatment, you will not have any burns, because the mass has body temperature, and you will get rid of even the smallest hairs and ingrown hairs.
• Sugar is also a hygienic ingredient that destroys bacteria, so it is almost impossible to infect the infection from the outside.

Important! Sugar depilation is great for different areas of the body - the zone of bikini, legs, underarms, face.

Important! Regular shugaring procedures will lead to the fact that the hair will soften and weaken, which means it will be easier to remove.

How to prepare a mass for a shugaring?

In order to make depilation with sugar, it is necessary to prepare a sugar mass. Recipes for cooking can be found a lot, but they are all based on three components: water, sugar, lemon juice. But the quantitative composition is different.

In one version, sugar and water are proposed in a 1: 1 ratio( 1 glass each) and juice of two lemons, in the other - 1 tablespoon of water, a glass of sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, in the third or tenth - completely different.

For the sample, we make the sugar mass for depilation in small quantities. If everything works out right, we can immediately try on ourselves - the first time it's better to start with your feet. So, let's start:

• Prepare two containers: one glass or plastic for the finished composition and one metal for cooking. Also need a spatula in order to stir the syrup.
• Take sugar 10 tablespoons without a slide, 1 tablespoon of water and 4 tablespoons of lemon juice. Stir all ingredients in a metal container.
• Place the container on a small fire, stirring occasionally, bring to a boil. Boiling should be slow, with small white bubbles. As the liquid evaporates, the syrup acquires a golden hue.

Important! Typically, the immediate boiling process takes about 10 minutes. The syrup should not turn brown.

• Remove the container from the heat, gently pour into another container to cool. This usually takes at least three hours, so sugar for depilation can be prepared at night.

Important! Do not forget to fill the metal container from the syrup with hot water.

• Weight is ready, if it is warm to the touch and elastic and from it you can make a ball like a plasticine. If it clings to your hands, it still does not cool down completely. And if too hard, you can melt it in a water bath and add a little water, then cool again.

Important! To properly prepare the mass for depilation, you need to know the following:

• During heating and boiling, you can not change the intensity of the flame( neither diminish nor add) - the fire should be the same.
• If the mass does not get the desired shade( caramel or golden), then there is too much water in it, and it will boil longer. You can add a little sugar.
• If the mixture still acquired a too brown tinge and smells of burnt sugar, then it will not work for depilation. From it you can only make a cockerel on a stick for children.
