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 the hair grows. 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 (now owner of The Sugar Spa) for these photos using Alexandria sugaring products.
