Here is a recipe for making hair removal wax without strips:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar, lemon juice, and water.
- Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it turns a golden brown color and reaches a temperature of 250°F (121°C) on a candy thermometer.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes until it thickens to a honey-like consistency.
- Test the wax by applying a small amount to your skin. If its too hot, let it cool for a few more minutes.
- Once the wax has cooled to a comfortable temperature, apply it to your skin in the direction of hair growth.
- Quickly pull the wax off in the opposite direction of hair growth.
Positive aspects of this recipe include that it is made with natural ingredients and can be less expensive than store-bought wax. Negative aspects include that it can be messy and may not be as effective as professional waxing products.
