![]() ![]() If you do it at home, Nartova says the easiest way as a beginner is with the strip technique similar to how you would with a strip waxing kit. That said, Nartova says it is still possible to try it at home. "Easy" wouldn't be the first (or second or third) word I would use to describe sugaring, let alone a DIY sugar wax. "Some people have irritation right away, and that’s why they really need to make sure every single hair is removed in the natural direction of the hair growth," she says. Once you get the hang of it, sugaring at home is doable, but she always recommends those with sensitive skin see a professional if possible. "A lot of people when they try sugaring at home try flicking the sugar up, instead of parallel to the skin, which is more irritating," says Nartova. The reason, she says, is because there’s a special flick to to the removal-something that, obviously, professionals learn over time. ![]() "It’s definitely going to take you a little bit longer, and it might be a little bit more painful when you flick it off if you do it yourself," Nartova explains. Will it be as quick and easy as an experience at the salon? No. " This helps reduce the risk of inflammation and any post-treatment bumps." So you tell me, which sounds like the better option? If we're talkin' about Brazilian waxes and bikini lines, I would much rather go with the less painful one, but again, it's up to you. "We try to mimic the direction of the hair growth so the follicle on the inside of the skin is not disturbed," says Nartova. With sugaring, you apply it in the opposite direction and then flick it in the natural direction of the hair growth. When you wax, you apply the wax in the direction of the hair growth, then rip it off in the opposite direction. And lastly, the direction the hair is pulled makes a big difference. ![]()
