Shugaring technique: three common methods of hair removal with sugar paste

Shugaring is considered the oldest method of getting rid of excess hair on the face and body of a person. There is even a theory that he was invented in the time of Cleopatra. And in ancient Persia before marriage, the girl had to remove all excess hair with the help of sugar mass. Despite the fact that the method was invented for a long time, it has not lost its relevance in our days.

Shugaring is a method of removing hair from the body with sugar paste. This procedure is applied to all parts of the body and does not cause allergies. One of the main advantages of this method is the long-term effect of its application. This is due to the fact that the paste pulls the hairs from the root, thereby slowing their growth. Also worth noting among the pros:

• no irritation and various skin lesions after such epilation;
• low cost of products used to prepare the mixture;
• takes a little time to make the mass;
• , when properly executed, there will be no ingrown hairs.

Before applying this epilation, take a warm bath( shower), using only baby soap( no other means).This action will help to steam out the skin and open the pores. Further, the body is wiped dry and treated with alcohol, and then with baby powder( this is done to reduce the fat content of the skin).

Manual techniques

When performing this operation in the cabin or at home, any technique of shugaring can be used: classical manual;Manual with application;bandage.

Any manual technique of performing epilation means applying a sugar paste by hand. If the first option is used, the paste for the procedure can have any density. Soft weight before use is heated to 40 ° C, due to this it acquires a resemblance to viscous honey.

Apply it with finger pads. They are typed the right amount of the mixture and evenly cover the surface to be cleaned and give a minute for better adherence to the hair. After this, they begin to tear off the paste from the skin with sharp jerks along the growth of the hair.

A medium-density mass is warmed in hands. To do this, the stick is removed from the container, where the paste is stored, part of the mixture( the size is no more than a nut) and knead it, shaping the ball. When it turns yellow or cream color, having received the necessary temperature, then it is rolled out a dense layer on the desired part of the body. Tear off sharply and in the direction of hair growth. One such ball can be used about three times( each time it needs to be kneaded before applying to the skin).On the next video you can see how the experts work in this technique.

Application technology

When choosing the second option use a very tight paste. Apply it not in a uniform layer, but with isolated heated lumps, which are applied to the desired parts of the body in turn( on average, 5 lumps are used on one site).After 2 minutes they are removed, and in the same sequence as applied.

Application technology makes it possible to make shugaring even on wet parts of the body and is considered one of the most suitable options used in the hot summer.

Banding technology

Well, the third kind is a bandage technique. Choosing this option, you will need various auxiliary tools for work: an elastic band, strips( paper or fabric) and a cosmetic spatula. In this case, use a soft mixture, which is in the cassettes and can be heated up to 45 ° C in a heated heater.

Apply this paste with a thin layer using a spatula or roller, which is located on the cassette. Then, attach a bandage or strip to the greased places and remove the mixture with them. This option is used in the following cases: very long hair removed;a hard-to-reach area of ​​the skin, or it is required to process a large surface of the body.
