Does sugaring hurt less than waxing?

Traditional waxing methods tend to be less effective than sugaring. Applied in the direction of growth, the wax sticks to your skin and hair. Then, it’s removed against the direction of hair growth. This can often lead to hair breakage, ingrown hairs, skin reactions, and thicker grow-back due to the root potentially not being removed. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Generally, unless you have perfectly exfoliated skin and hair that isn’t prone to breakage, a lot will be left behind (albeit, under the surface of the skin and not visible).

Sugaring is done differently because the natural paste doesn’t stick to skin. Instead, aestheticians have to “mold” the paste into the hair to fully remove it. The paste is applied against the hair growth and then gently removed with the direction of growth—this ensures that the entire hair (along with the root) is removed. The direction of hair removal, the simple ingredient list, and the lack of heat are all factors that make sugaring more effective. Bonus: It’s also a great alternative for clients with sensitive skin. 🌟

Most waxes, NOT ALL, adhere to the skin as well as the hair. Imagine placing a piece of duct tape to an area of skin with no hair and ripping it off. IT HURTS, even with no hair. Most waxes are warm to HOT. 🔥 This heat incites circulation which is believed to make people entirely more sensitive. Sugaring paste, on the other hand, is room to body temperature. Unlike wax, sugar paste does not adhere to live skin.
