How do you make wax for removing hair at home?

Question

any recipies??

Answer 1

Things You’ll Need:

1 cup sugar

half a lemon

molasses or dark corn syrup

microwave safe bowl

spoon

glass jar

patience

Step1Make sure you have a spacious and clean working area before you begin. Lay out some newspaper or a baking sheet to protect the area you're working in from any sticky situations.

Step2Pour your one cup of sugar in a microwave safe bowl, along with the honey and the dark corn syrup or molasses. Put your bowl in the microwave for about three to four minutes. The bowl will be extremely hot, so take great care in making sure you don't burn yourself by wearing oven gloves. Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the mixture and mix with a wooden stick.

Step3Put your bowl back in the microwave until the mixture has completely dissolved. It should have a thick, sticky consistency and all the sugar crystals should have melted. The color will be similar to burnt amber.

Step4Give it one last mix and carefully pour mixture into glass jar. Let your newly made wax cool down before attempting to use as you could burn yourself.

Step5Before applying wax, make sure you apply cornstarch or baby powder to the area, as it absorbs moisture and allows the hair to be removed much more smoothly. Use cotton muslin wax strips that you can pick up from any beauty store or cut up old cotton shirts into strips to use.
