SUGARING PASTE – HARD 1.3kg 45Oz FOR TOUGHEST HAIR (BIKINI, BRAZILIAN, UNDERARMS)

Exfoliate a day or two prior!!! If you get major ingrown hairs and have horrible dragon skin like I do, this will drastically improve your experience. I made sure to watch every video possible and took the main tip of taking the room/body temperature into major consideration. It's 106 degrees in Texas, most homes are around 78-85 degrees internally so I veto'd heating up the wax prior to use. I showered first, thoroughly dried off. Wipe down my legs using witch hazel and used a wooden tongue depressor to scoop out the wax. It was firm but pliable to the touch, a bit stringy so make sure you're not anywhere it would matter if you got a little sticky stuff on it (comes off real easy, even off of the rug! lol). I will say learning the technique was fun but it does require a lot of practice due to the temperature being a major factor so you really gotta get in tune with that. I found using the tongue depressor or a card worked best for me when it came to the lifting technique. Application, I switched between the tongue depressor or my hands, kinda just depended on the surface area coverage I was going for. I practiced on my legs before moving to my bikini area, I still think about the review on how the woman glued her legs together. This was definitely a application and temperature issue. I highly recommend using very small amounts (I would use an amount that was about the size of a marble?), you don't need a lot at all especially when you are learning still. I definitely flicked some folded ribbons of sugar everywhere at times, they said to flick like you mean it and it should fold on itself so you know you're fulling parallel to the skin. Choosing between Hard or Medium wax, again, taking in the temps of Texas I went for the Hard wax. I think it offers more versatility due to the environment. A few hairs were missed, due to either technique/hair length/hair thinness but 1 out of who knows how many I'll take it! My hair grows in really sparse and thin on my legs, I don't even shave knee up because you can't tell I even have hair (Asian genes). My husband pointed out it was probably fun for me because it didn't hurt due to the lack of density of hair most people experience. None the less, I did attempt my bikini area which I have had professionally sugar'd once (which hurt like no other) but when I did it (2nd time ever sugar'd), it was less awful? But they say after the first surgaring will always hurt less so there is some truth to that. Aftercare is super important, I used a mixture of oils that are light and non-pore clogging to help alleviate the areas. Woke up baby smooth and no issues!

I have a back injury and it was very hard to keep up with shaving so I decided to try sugaring. I have sensitive skin and coarse hair so I grabbed the Hard paste. The first part I sugared was my legs, it hurt as you're ripping out your hair, but it hurt MUCH less than I thought it would! It was easy to learn, I watched many tutorials before it came. It certainly saves money with all the product you get, and it saves me from additional back pain! Since I've never had my legs waxed I imagine the growth will be different at first but the first time lasted me almost three weeks! The only time I've been waxed at the salon was my Brazilian, with sugar wax and strips. My skin was enflamed for days and it was painful, but not with this! It was PAINLESS, I swear! NO redness or swelling! This stuff is GREAT, a nice choice for anyone who is tired of shaving and getting that awful razor burn. It exfoliates and leaves your skin looking beautiful! Try it!

I love how long the tub lasts! I use this pretty often, but this still lasts way longer than regular wax. Saves me trips to a salon too

I decided to wait until a couple months had passed before writing a review because I wanted to make sure my opinions were actually reliable. At first, after purchasing this sugar paste, this stuff was a mess! I had a very difficult time controlling it when trying to wax my legs. There were numerous occasions where it flew off my hand and stuck to the wall or the floor. Thankfully, the wax is water soluble, so it was easy to clean up! As time went on, I began using the plastic waxing tool thing rather than my hands and that seemed to work way better! I was able to more effectively get the "wrist flick" and get more hair out with each pass...and the wax didn't fly off and hit the wall! In terms of effectiveness, I have yet to see it get ALL of the hair. This wax does a much better job at pulling the dark, thicker hairs rather than the light, thinner hairs on my legs. I find myself still needing to shave the remainder of those little guys after I wax, but my legs do tend to stay completely smooth for at least 3-5 days after waxing! It is also worth mentioning that my legs are definitely more sensitive for the first 24 hours after waxing. They feel kind of tingly-ish, and I notice things brushing against them more frequently. I also have some red bumps all over for 6-12 hours after waxing. This makes sense, though, as I am ripping the hair out of its follicles...of course there will be some irritation and redness immediately after! In terms of timing, this wax is better used in the wintertime rather than the summer because I need to let my hair grow out enough for the wax to actually grab a hold of it. I don't like to do in the summer since my legs show more frequently, but in the winter when my legs are covered most of the time, I have no qualms letting my hair grow out a bit!

Love this wax, i know the instructions say 10-15 seconds but i do 60 seconds due to the jar size. I use this product with popsicle sticks and wax strips. Love the results! Plus it dissolves with warm/hot water.

Horrible gooey mess. Nothing like their videos. I watched all tutorials, followed all instructions and tips. There is nothing that could be done in any temperature or any consistency and it was like sticky toffee that never got to the point they show in the video. They probably do that so that you give up doing it at home and go to their salons. Waste of time and money.

I’ve been making/cooking my own wax for about 6 months and if you don’t get the temp, cook time, and ingredients perfect it does not come out right. It can be very frustrating. So I decided to give this a try. This is the first wax I’ve purchased and it will be the last wax I ever purchase! It got all the hairs and was so easy to work with! If you’re having trouble with this wax working for you, it’s your technique not the product! Can’t recommend it enough!

I thought this would be easy to use and maybe for a pro, it is. But for this amateur.. I almost permanently closed "shop" down there. At first, I carefully removed a small amount and began working it with my fingers. It became silky and opaque and it appeared to be ready to apply and rip out the hair on the inside of my thighs (I hate shaving there) I stood before my vanity mirror so I could see what I was doing. It was very sticky as I smeared it on my skin. I pulled up fast expecting the hair to rip out painfully but all that happened was the wax stretched and stayed attached to my thigh. I tried pulling more off and it was like chewed bubble gum. It wasn't coming off like I had hoped.. it was instead spreading more on my skin. It was getting very sticky and didn't want to release. I realized I needed to get it off and fast. As I tried to walk to go into the bathroom, my inner thighs stuck to each other. I was now waddling across the room. Each time I moved, more of my skin on one thigh, adhered to the skin on the other thigh. By the time I got to the bath, the wax had started to melt down my legs. I got to the shower, climbed in and turned on the highest heat to attempt to melt the wax. That didn't work. I was panicking trying to think of how to get this wax off and free my thighs (amongst other things) from the sticky grip of the wax. Now I know what a fly feels like on fly paper. Eventually with some patience and the hot water of shower, I was able to pull my legs apart. The wax slowly came off and I could breathe freely again. When I dried off there was some residual stickiness but nothing some mineral oil couldn't handle. Now the full container of wax sits on my shelf and mocks me. I know when I'm beat but worse than that, I'm very afraid to try again. Still.. I'm sure a professional would like it very much. It just doesn't work for me.
