Sugaring vs. Waxing

[caitlinbree]

Anyone have experience with sugaring?

I usually get brazillian waxes, but I moved and my usual gal is farther than I want to travel just for a wax. There's a place near by that does sugaring. They've got great reviews, but I've never actually had it done before.

So, how is it compared to waxing? More or less painful?

yes i loved it
less painful and a lot less irritations

I've read that waxing pulls the hair out against the grain, causing breakage below the skin, but sugaring pulls the hair out with the grain, so it comes out by the root and is unlikely to break. This leads to less ingrown hairs. I have problems with getting a lot of ingrown hairs with Brazilians and really want to try sugaring, but I can't find a place near me that does it and I have no interest in DIY.

Good to know about less ingrowns.

I went ahead and booked an appointment for Saturday. Their prices for maintence sugaring is really good, so I'm hoping it works well and I can keep up with it.

In general sugaring works better if you have fine hair. It's not as effective with coarser hair. It definitely less painful IMO.

For me, sugaring is way less painful.

Sugaring worked great and didn't hurt as much

I used to mix up my own and do my own legs, I was easy, but very messy
can't say it hurts any more or less than waxing, but I have only done both on my legs
