Sugar Hair Removal: Taken Off Different Than Waxing

Sugaring Hair Removal, Sugar Paste, Leg Hair Removal© ALETRIS, Scottsdale, AZ
Sugar hair removal is different than waxing. The sugar paste is peeled off quickly, in the SAME direction as the hair growth. With waxing hair removal, the hair is removed in the OPPOSITE direction of hair growth. Working in the direction of hair growth makes the discomfort much less than waxing, and results in less breaking of the hair.

Many thanks to Jenn Webdale of ALETRIS for these photos using Alexandria sugaring products.
