    When sugaring, the hair is removed from the root each time. Over time, this makes the hair much finer and sparser. Some people have seen great results after only 2 treatments, but sugaring is a service you'll most likely want to maintain every 6 weeks or so. You can also try laser hair removal. In this method, you'll have to do 6 or more sessions to see results. Typically after 8 or more sessions, the hair is significantly reduced.

    You can make your own sugaring paste at home using sugar, lemon juice, and water. Those are the only ingredients to make sugar wax, as it does not contain any chemicals or resin.
