Waxing: Get rid of unwanted hair with these five simple steps
Waxing can be done at home without much hassle. Follow these five easy steps to save time and get rid of unwanted hair at home. Read ahead to find out how.
Getting a waxing appointment every month can become a consuming task. It is also not recommended to go for it if you are already financially in trouble. The best way to get a quick wax is by making the wax at home using simple ingredients. Here are a few steps to follow in order to get waxed at home.
How to wax in five easy steps
1. Melt sugar
Take a cup of granulated sugar and melt it over medium-flame heat. Do not stir. Let it sit in the pan. To avoid the burning of sugar, swirl the pan occasionally.
2. Add honey and lemon juice
You have to add a little bit of lemon juice into the mixture and stir the mixture well. Add honey in a small quantity and stir it well with a wooden spoon. Make the consistency of the batter better by stirring slowly. The consistency has to be similar to that of wax for easy use.
3. Storage
Transfer the ready batter into a glass container. You can also cool it down and store the container in a refrigerator. In case you want to use it right away, let the batter cool down a little and then use it. Make sure you use thin layers of the homemade wax.
4. Prepare the wax strips
You can cut a part of thin cotton cloth to use as a wax strip. Cut the cloth into a rectangle. Sew away the sides and corners if necessary. A piece of linen cloth might also do the job for you.
5. Wax away
Since your wax and wax strips are ready, you do not have to stress over anything else. Now apply a layer of talcum powder. The powder will make the moisture on your skin disappear. Apply a layer of the sugar wax that was made earlier and go ahead with the process. If your body hair is too long, your wax might not uproot the hair completely.
