MAKING SUGAR WAX Q&A | This Will Work! 

Listen you changed my whole life! I learned to make sugar wax from your original 'sugar wax for beginners' video almost two years ago. I used to have the worrrrrst, most irritated, painful skin on my legs from shaving. I have a combination of very thick coarse hair with quick hair regrowth, along with extremely sensitive skin underneath. I tried every type razor I could, hair removal creams, skin treatments, etc, but nothing worked for me. My skin would always bleed, react poorly, look a whole red spotted mess... and it was so painful! My skin would just HURT constantly. When I was a teenager I went to the dermatologist to seek help because it was so bad, and the doctor said there was nothing I could about it- she suggested that shaving against the grain was my best option (my hair is wayy too thick for that to accomplish anything, however, and it was also still quite irritating to my sensitive skin). Girl, I wish she had suggested sugar waxing! All these years later my routine is so much easier, healthier, eco-friendly/sustainable, and pain-free 🧚‍♀️ (Also therapeutic- working with plant matter is always so nice.) Can't thank you enough, but- thank youuuuuu 🗣

I started sugar waxing because of you and I don’t regret doing it I love it, never went back to a razor 😭

The water technique and " the color is not important " work wonders!! After trying and failing for so many times I was able to get the soft firm ball consistency that I like . Thank you ❤️

I have been watching you and your videos since you posted that DIY pedicure video you posted quite some time ago and I love this community you have grown here. I truly appreciate all your hard work, advice and the dedication you put into these videos. Thank you on behalf of all the people you have helped since you started here on RU-vid! :)

I FREAKING DID IT!!!! I’m so proud of myself I could freaking cry. 😭😭😭😩😩😩. It’s been a long time thinking about it then actually trying to do it then failing. But today successfully not only made perfect wax but got my underarms and legs and chin waxed. I can’t wait to become a pro at this!

"The sugaring queen has returned" literally exactly what I thought when I saw this in my subscriptions!

I’ve been sugaring ever since you posted the first series.. been a game changer ever sense.

I have made three batches of sugar wax from the first videos I've watched from you. I'm still grateful I found you! Thank you so much ^^

This is like watching the scientific method in action & i am absolutely here for it

Tip: it´s better to over cook that under cook, you can always fix overcooked sugar in an easier way. Even if you have it already in the jar, just add water and do the test again till you get it. I Find it easier, as the hot bubblig sugar syrup stage gives me anxiety (a very painful burn is possible during this stage).

I love using the testing method. Been using that since your first videos. Has never failed me once!

She really does have all those areas covered. And shows you the proper way to pull the wax. Honestly I've only myself successfully under or overcooked the wax, but never give up on yourself. Especially when it comes to self-care. I'm an estheticianist. Waxing is what I do! Just not a good candy maker, magic girl says "we're making candy here". Love her watch all the videos and subscribe

Honestly, you are amazing. I tried to make sugar wax two years ago but it did not work. After watching your videos, I decided to try again. Let me tell you it worked. Finally!!!!!! . I love how you help us girls out here who are struggling with body hair. Thank you so much.

Following you for over two years and been calling you “Ab-tweenie” this whole time 🤣 Thank you for keeping me hairless and saving me a ton of 💰 you’re amazing 🙌🏾🙌🏾

The one and only video that actually tells you how to make it . Im so greatful that I came across your reel . And i got your channel . Hands down you explain it like no other ✨

I actually right this second put my 300th attempt in a mason jar! Finally, after getting a spoon stuck in it when it cooled down. I’m so happy thank you

i´ve realized that the more lemon you put (within the liquid amount required) 1. the darkest it will become, which doesn´t mean its actually done, it only means that that product will end darker, so 2. that´s something you can expect. The water method kinda helps to know if its ready or not, but it dilutes the mixture a little be and it´s not that accurate. betther to put a little drop in a cold surface and wait till it cools down and see the texture, if its hard to pick it at that time it will be hard to pick it and use later. i do this test while i have the hot sugar already in the container i will storage it in, if the test shows that it´s too hard i will add a little water to my sugar mixture and mix well, then try the cold surface method again til th consistency I need it. I hope it helps. I store it in the fridge always, otherwise I end with s syrup on top and a hard mass of sugar. if you keep it on the fridge i recommend to melt it a little before using it so it melts evenly. i use water bath method to melt it, you can use microwave aswell. (i live at sea level, in very hot climate, for reference)

It worked!!! Yaaaas. Watched this video many times and it works!! 🙏💕 Cannot believe it, so satisfying!

Your timing is impeccable!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

the queen uploaded again, I see

im planning to start sugaring and i kinda came across lots of your videos and now im not only in love with your techniques but also in love with your voice. your voice is very soothing 💓

I'm here just to thank you! 🎀😘 And I will continue watching your old and new videos! Much love from Serbia!

I always make the perfect batch every single time thanks to you. You are a life saver 💕

I love your videos!! I’ve been doing at-home manicures/pedicures and waxing for some time now ever since watching you videos!! 🙌🏾

You can also change the water for rose water from any Arab food store for luxury feeling and extra smooth skin. But, I tried your original recipe and it worked well even though bi didn't kneed it long enough I just used strips and it seriously don't hurt like other waxes. Great information

Honestly, for me the water test works impeccably! I always always always get the result I want.

I just found your channel and I can't wait to try this! I've had my eyebrows waxed but I want to try waxing my legs first! I'm used to cooking sugar by making homemade marshmallows {sugar, water & corn syrup} let everyone know that clean up is So Easy! Most people see how sticky it is and don't want to clean up afterwards but let your utensils soak in the pot with water and clean up is faster than cooking it!

Thank you for everything A!!! And I mean EVERYTHING you bring us💛💛

Such a great video can't wait for the pt2

Yes!!!! Sugaring is back!!!

About to give sugar wax a try! My sister highly recommends your videos! I am excited to try this!

yes, this takes me back to your first video of waxing. achieved many brazilians using your videos. 🥰

Thank you for changing my life and helping me feel better in my skin

Thank you for updating us I had just been watching thru all your previous videos 🙌

I created my sugar wax following your first video and it definitely worked. I appreciate it as where I live no one does sugaring and the videos I've followed before did not give me an accurate paste. I think working with smaller batches is definitely key and much easier to work with and less frustrating if you botch it!

he estado siguiendo todos tus tips y estoy realmente agradecido 💖💖💖💖

Your beauty videos have helped me so. Much lol love this!

I’m cryingggg I FINALLY DID IT!!! my 23rd try 😭😭😭 thank you so much

Yeah Sugaring Queen😍😍😍 You've really changed my sugaring game❤️

Yesss boo!! I need to make a new batch!!! Today!! I will let you know how this goes!! Low key I feel I lucked up my first time!!!😩😩

I made this yesterday and didn't check the temp. I did let the color change to amber. It solidified into a rock when cooled, but I put it in the microwave for about 10 secs and it became malleable again. Worked pretty well!

Out of the options for acids, I think lemon juice is great. If you mess up, you still have a yummy treat! If it’s vinegar, it kinda sucks :/

This video really helped me! I couldn’t get it and I was so frustrated till I watched this and tried it. Finally!!!!

I liked before I watched 😁 because I love your content and I know it will be good! Thanks girl! May God continue to bless you 🥰🌹

Thank you soooo much!! Hair removal has been such a pain for me, literally and figuratively. I've spent so much money on hair removal only to have it grow back in a fe days. I actually completely gave up and let the hair take over. I actually like it, but damnit! Sometimes I just want to be smooth like shark!

recording the temperature while taking samples - this is real true science and i love it

Yo!!!!! I've tried so many different ways to make this. Frustration to the max!! You really helped. This makes so much more sense and it actually works! Y'all if you want a sugar wax making method that works... Try this! I'm telling you! All other videos are trash 💕

Ohhh I never clicked so fast. FINALLLYYY SUGARINGGGGGG OH YEAH!! 1ST BTW!!

Oh my gosh! This was my third attempt at making sugar wax and this is the only method that worked! Kept making freaking caramel! Tested it on my arm to make sure I was at the right temp; it worked! Ended up doing my entire forearm with just the small bit left on my spoon after pouring/scraping the mixture into my storage! I’m so excited for it to cool enough (and my babies to go to bed) so I can do my whole legs!!! Thank you!!! Officially subscribed! 😁

God bless you 🙏🏾 I am thankful for you already changing my life for the better.

I did it!!!!! Again, lol. I took a break for a few years cause my results were too inconsistent and it was not worthwhile. But I did try testing it on the counter, like you suggested, instead of in the water, and I'm quite confident now. I have a list of things that happened if someone's interested: 1. I overcooked it a little as the test blob was a bit too hard for my liking. I added a tablespoon ish of water into the mixture while it was still very hot and stirred it (some time ago I made the mistake of putting way too much) 2. I put it in the fridge cause it's very hot and humid here rn, but it cooled down too much lol. A wax warmer did a really good job softening it up tho. I couldn't put it in a microwave cause my jar had metal wires around it. 3. The sugar came out light yellow/clear, and became literally white with use. I was used to a golden ish sugar before, but I switched up lemon with vinegar this time. 4. This is my main one. At first IT WASN'T STICKY AT ALL. I was about to be very disappointed BUT I kneaded it and had to really work it on my skin before it started to develope some stickyness. It was also very humid and my hands were sweaty so I had to do the whole thing inches away from my fan. Anyway the longer I worked with it the stickier it became, until I had to use strips or it wouldn't come off. It got to the point where even if I had a little sweat on my skin it would still adhere somewhat well and pull hair perfectly. 5. Putting the sugar in front of the fan also helped a lot with it sticking well. Anyway, doing it in the summer is such a pain lol. I would step away from the fan one second and my hands will start to feel wet lol. But it was worth it. I tried using store bought wax but it's just a sad experience for me. I get very irritated skin, my hair is still there or broken. I can't use a razor without getting ingrowns and pimples, I even started shaving with the grain but it just looks bad tbh. I have very fair skin and dark hairs. But now I can't see that mixture of red and black dots anymore and I'm so happy!

I might try your tips as well as it seems that it works by many, thank you very much for sharing this with us! 😊

Thankyou for this, you are SUCH an inspiration

Okay I’ve had like five sugar waxing videos pop up I think I’m gonna finally try it!! Thanks 😊

Former pastry chef here: Your explanations are great! Cooking sugar can be really scary (justifiably as sugar burns ain't no joke), and you broke it down with simplicity and calm: fantastic! All this said, I question using powdered sugar for the caramel as powdered sugar contains cream of tartar. Have you actually used this? How did it affect the color, consistency, and adhesion?

I am here to give my review. I did this for the first time today. In my household nobody really waxes they jut pluck or shave which im fed up of. Im a hairy female teenager which needed a way to remove hair without problem. As it was the first time i made it, it was kinda difficult but not as difficult as i thought. I really love it. Thank you for helping me with this problem of mine.

Finally I made a sugar wax without making a candy!!! This method really works.. Thank you so much❤️

You are gifted at relaying information

Since your methods constantly change, I’d appreciate it if you made a video tying the whole series together if you could. I wrote everything down in my notes instead of going between old and new videos so it makes more sense. Thanks for making the tutorials and I’m super excited to try!! :)

Great video! Thank you so much!😁🥰 You have an incredibly soothing voice. ☺️

I used hard wax today and it worked for my armpit Quantity I used 8 tbsp sugar 2.5 tbsp lemon juice extracted little bit more so I used it you can only use 2 tbsp 2 tbsp water Cook it And keep checking drop in water And knead Tada wax is ready to use ✌

I've came across your sugar waxing vids in 2019, and guuuuuurl it's booomb. Ihad no trouble with recipe and sooo good that i've never went back to normal wax🙏Thank youuuuu soooo much🙏I can never thank you enough🙏🙏❤️❤️🥰

It definitely worked. Watched yesterday came back today to comment and subscribe...the best part was it works on all hair. It was fun waxing my boyfriend😂😂

This is a whole science!

you are a godsend!!

I just got a candy thermometer and was thinking about going back to your old sugar waxing videos lol

Me getting prepared to wax my stash, arms, toes, legs let's GOOOOO 🦵

I am so scared of hot waxing and you help a lot thanks gurlllll!💋

Omg thank you SO much for this video. Sugaring used to be a thing I literally dreaded getting into because of all the failed attempts, two years ago I tried every recipe from every video I could find. Including your five yr old one but I never seemed to succeed because my batches used to always end up overcooked (or undercooked and I’d end up w bruises from trying to remove the sticky sugar haha) I just never mastered it and I got fed up which ofc got on my nerves even more bc I’m an Arab and I should know how to make a perfect sugar paste LOL. I literally followed your advice in this video just two hours ago in making my first batch in two years and oh my god am I filled with joy😭💗 I was so happy I didn’t even feel any pain haha! Thank you so much 🥹🥹🥹

The globs look like jewels. 😍

This helped so much, thank you!

Ok queen thank you I was able to make wax without any mistakes because of you ! New sub

Thank you for this video! Because of it, I'm finally able to get my sugar wax to turn out.

❤ This EXACT "stage" testing method is used by dad and i for nobake-peanut butter homemade cookies! You have to have a perfect consistency for the cookies to harden while sitting. I still mess it up because ITS TOUGH to get juuuust right! And thats okay. Just keep trying! ❤ youll get it.

Beyond grateful for you!! I started getting sugared a few years ago and fell in love with the results. During lock down I learned how to sugar myself but I'd always have to purchase a pre-made sugar paste and use gloves. I'm so happy to have gotten to learn from you how to make my own sugar wax AND to not have to keep using disposable gloves. Saving my $$$ and the planet! Thank you, thank you, thank you! All your videos on sugaring have been 🤌🏽*chefs kiss*

5:45 i came with the grandma method, you can put a seramic plate to the frezeer from the start, than you dont need to glass of water or waiting a minutes to cool it down on the side. we use this metod making jams. i usually but really small 2-3 plates to the frezeer.

I really needed this video… Thank you!! 😘😘

Thanks for sharing this with us 😊💖

The video to watch!!! Be patient and keep doing the dollop (spoon or counter) test. I have a candy thermometer and it showed my mixture was already in the soft ball stage but it wasn't done when I tested it so back to the flame it went. Waxed my legs and armpits🎉🎉🎉 I need to practice more with the actual waxing, but I was so happy to see hair on the blob of wax. It didn't hurt either! Thanks so much for this tutorial and sharing your tips ❤❤❤

You have come to my rescue 🥺🥺

How is your timing so amazing

Okay nice timing sis 😂

Great! Very well explained ❤

game changer!!! Thank you!!!

TIp: If your sugar waxing is hard, all you have to do to “fix it” is reheat in the microwave and it will get a watery consistent and you can apply it when it cools down JUST A LITTLE onto your skin. And then you can peel it off and boom! P.s: Don’t wait to long to let it cool before you apply it on your skin cause it can revert back into the hard consistency.

Thanks to you, I successfully made sugar wax that I can use without the need of strips! Thank you 💗

Thanks for the informative video. I want to start sugaring and this is great info to start with

Finally succes! Thank you.

The first time I did it was a fail (the color was honey like). The second one’s consistency was good. It can be used as a wax now😭 the second one has a clear color by the way and is far from the honey-like color, but it’s way better than the first.

I'm so glad that this isn't expensive to make, because boy it has a learning curve. I made four batches of it. 1. was overcooked to the lollipop stage 2. usable but still too firm for my climate 3. Basically a syrup still 4. I tested this batch painstakingly but somehow still ended up being too firm. Oh well, I'm off to the store to buy some more lemon juice. I'm gonna get there eventually.

Just tried the recipe it worked BUT my skin is sadly wayy to sensitive for waxing (instantly went red and bumpy)… i really wanted it to work but shaving is the most comfortable hair removing technique for my skin. Still going to share what i did, to make sugarwax to !use with cloth strips! I used the recipe in the description and cooked it constantly on 6/7 for 18min.(my stovetop has heat levels from 1-9) In the end the wax did not stick to my skin when cooled down, so i decide to heat it up slightly and use it with fabric strips. As I said worked out really well but it‘s just not suited for my skin.

Literally just waxed my legs from your strip wax videos, omg

Um can we talk about that stove? I’ve never seen a stove that technological 😭😍

thank uuuu soooo much fr T_T I was so confused!

Girl you better stop with these back to back videos before I get used to this luxury. I’m already addicted enough as it is.

thanks! i was able to make perfect sugar wax using your advice!

I recommend putting some oil in the storage jar so that the sugar wax can be removed easily

Didn’t know to add corn starch I watched a previous video from you and it was no corn starched used. Thanks for sharing💚

Next you should go over how to store it and how long it lasts!!

I feel dumb asking this, but I'm still learning how to simplify this part of the process. Is there any way to know how long the paste should remain at the desired cooking temperature? I've gotten better about not overcooking it as much, but I still feel like my process of making strip sugar is so tedious because I'm still constantly testing. I've gotten better at the waxing part of the process, and I'm hoping the prep stages can also become more consistent. Thank you for presenting such well-articulated and still pretty information/images - I prefer sugar waxing over any other hair removal method. So glad I found you!
