    hi friends,
    Sugar waxing is the best thing,and i haven't used other waxing products.Sugar waxing is superb.
    All you need is 1 cup sugar,2 teaspoons lemon juice and 2 teaspoons water and if you want little water you could add to it,Take a vessel or kadai ,add these mixtures and stir till it becomes thick consistency .It should boil and comes as a froth or bubbles.
    Another preparation is with honey, same preparations as said above instead of sugar,you are using honey,in this preparation you could add four teaspoons sugar to the mixture.
    Now pour this mixture in a plastic vessel so that it could be easily washed,allow it to cool for some minutes,do not apply when the mixture is hot .

    hi friends,
    As i said above preparations of home made wax, now lets see applying procedure.Apply it in reverse direction of hair grows,now you could use cotton strips or waste cotton clothes(a thick cloth) ,Apply the wax on the desired area and spread a thin layer of sugarwax on a small part ,use butterknife or ice-cream stick. Immediately cover that area with a cloth strip and rub it down firmly and quickly tear the cloth strip away from your leg in the opposite direction of the hair growth.This is less painful and if you find reddish this is normal,this reddish is because dealing with a big long hairs.:cheers

    I tried this . Bt did nt get better results.

    Should i make my leg immerse in water b4 i wax ??? cuz it s so dry and it s difficult to pull in opposit direction . Kindly help me out.

    One more thing, after wax preparation i should immediately apply on legs.Cuz it s too hot .

    before waxing the skin must be dry, otherwise it will be harder to get the hair off, and no don't apply it immediately, you will burn your skin, make sure u apply it at the highest comfortable heat. i wouldn't recommend the first waxing experience to be done by yourself, get it done at the parlor the first time, that way you will get a feel of what is right, and you can see how it is done.

    I have used the sugar wax method for many years and it is efficient, if your leg it too dry apply a thin layer of talcum powder on your legs and after waxing always moisturise.

    Always try on a small part to check to see if the consistency is right. 2 people are better when waxing try and call your friend, as your force is sometimes not enough and the fear of pain causes you to pull lightly making you do it over and over.

    Dear Dolly,

    Thanks for sharing this and sounds really great and easy.
    Please let me know whether we can use powdered sugar or brown crystal sugar?

    Thanks,
    Chai
