Hair removal. Make your own hair removal wax

To make your own hair removal wax (like Nads) you need:

In a microwavable bowl, put all of the ingredients on high for 3-4 minutes. You can put it on the stove too, but there's a chance of burning it. When it cools down, use it like hot (or cold) wax! You will find all the hair you want to remove comes off.

and then? Comments By: RoadRunningVixen Then what? leave it on? Wash it off? what do I use to rip it off? fabric? tissue? WHAT? please finish the recipe. Thanks. plus anything nuked on high for 3 minutes will be scalding. Are you sure this is correct????? how do we prevent getting burned?? MORE INFO PLEASE! TipKing Says: The instructions do say that that it needs to ba allowed to cool. Then it says that you can use it like hot or cold wax. The recipe is suggesting you use it then like regular hot or cold wax.   for those who can't read between the lines! Comments By: sugaring fairy! apply thinly on the area you wish to remove hair from (the sugar mix)once it has cooled (allowing you to touch it without burning your fingers!). Then use cotton strips, as in waxing, apply them to the section of skin with the paste, pat down,and yank off. Warm water will remove any residue past left on the skin.   lemon Comments By: crystal how u use the lemon cut it leave it whole or squeeze the juice TipKing says: I would think that the tip is refering to the juice of a lemon   ? Comments By: ???? wat r cotten strips?   ....... Comments By: fg i know!what are cotten strips!   what now?? Comments By: Bad Kitty What do I use to rip it off? TipKing says: Someone was talking about cotton strips. I have not tried the tip so I do not know!   Tried it. Comments By: Jenefer Messy to apply. Time consuming to cut all the strips of cotton fabric. Made a big, gooey mess and it didnt work AT ALL.   tried it Comments By: Jane to my surprise it works! i used a slightly differnt recipe though, 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup creamed honey (not the liquid kind) 1 tbl spoon of lemon juice ( i didnt have a lemon so i just guessed the amount of juice would be in 1/2 a lemon) a little bit of molasses sprinkle some corn starch on area you are waxing so it holds better! I tried cooking it on the stove but it wouldnt get hot enough to blend really well so i microwaved until bubbly. i used it when it was still a bit hot to apply, but o well... and then pressed on the cotton strips ( an old sock) let it cool down really well, it works, i just pulled it off now and viola, hair is out!   baby hair Comments By: G can i use it to remove my baby's hair on her forehead and in between eyebows, she is only 8 months. TipKing says: You should not be trying to remove hair from someone so young.   BABAY HAIR?? Comments By: Selma why cant you leave her the way she is? she's just a baby!!!!!:@   honey? Comments By: J Do you have to use honey, is there any other sticky substance you can use?   Thrilled to be Hairless! Comments By: Andie Tied Jane's recipe (used normal honey, though, and no molasses). Divided everything by 15 (ie 250ml[1cup]sugar became +- 15ml[1 Tblsp] etc) - figured I only needed a very little amount. Microwaved for 1 min. Allowed to cool to touch, then applied to upper lip. Used one of hubby's cotton hankies. Worked like a charm!!! Was a bit red afterwards but looks fine now. Thanks a million, Jane!   lemon? Comments By: ashlyn what is the lemon even used for?   that is what i do too =] Comments By: mimi its a great recipe, girls. i use this also, my mother tought me this and the wax removes my hair fast. its painless and its STRONG. also, put some baby powder on the area your waxing, it actually soothees it.   So much for home waxing Comments By: Terra This did not work at ALL for me, the wax was way too hot to apply to my skin, and when it cooled it would be hard, and I'd have to warm it up again, but to no avail could I put this on my skin without getting burned. Suggestions?   impressed about the recipe but didnt used it yet...how about for men's body hair...you think it will Comments By: jayz do u think our body hairs will be removed after using this recipe... our body hair is full of volume though...how about that? pls reply to this...im beginning to become an ape hehehe!!!   cotton strips Comments By: Jasmine you can also buy cotton strips from the body shop. thirty strips for £2!!   Old middle eastern recipe Comments By: bizilizi in Barleythorpe I remember Arab ladies in the Persian Gulf using this mix with very good results. No microwaves 50 years ago! not sure if they used honey but certainly used lemon and sugar. Found your tip very helpful and have yet to try on upper lip.   It's brilliant... Comments By: Sahar It's a great tip! I had really pathetic looking legs due to having ingrowns from Epilating...but after waxing 3 times they seem to have just vanished! Wonderful Wonderful...   how? Comments By: nad how long do u put it in the frige for and how much do u oppy on ur plce were u wanna wax?   Where are all the educated people at? Comments By: Common Sense Girl I got the BIGGEST LAUGH from this! Thank You Ladies!lol I agree the recipe was confusing on the instructions, but please..sorry had to take a break, I've laughed so hard, I've got tears coming down my face!:) Common Sense can go a LONG way. If it's to hot to touch, HELLO! Hence she mentions to let cool. I took this as you have the choice of how warm or cool you want to use this. It's YOUR judgment. :) After reading some of these comments, I can now see this could be a problem for some. :) lol This was great! I may never try this, but it was worth every second being online, just running onto this! Thanks, I really did need a laugh for the day! Sorry I don't mean to come across so rude.:)   how long Comments By: Jayne how long is this solution supposed to take before it hardens? thank you   It hardens up after mixing lemon juice :O Comments By: Esha It hardens up after adding the lemon juice :O I wasnt able to apply it onl :O It was rock solid :O and I tried heating it again and it got burned :-|   idk Comments By: ashley i dont know how this works it doesnt really do anything how long is it supposed to stay on? and what do you use to take it off? im very confused???   alsoo confused Comments By: hairy I can't get my mixture to even harden in least, what am i doing wrong? Its just a sticky liquid.   is the lemon useful??? Comments By: Luce do i really need the lemon what is it really for?   socks? Comments By: kara are all socks made of cotton? som1 said u should use a sock for waxing but it has to be cotton. how do i know if it is cotton?   white wax Comments By: vishnu how we can make white wax.give me some idea.   w/e Comments By: nora u could use anything that is 100% cotton like ur underwear or a sock... it doesn't really matter... as long as it is cotton   how Comments By: danielle how to u take it off, plezz?xxxxx   home made wax Comments By: lynn I can't believe there is so many dumb people. If you can't follow instructions please don't make this product and if you don't no how to use wax i suggest you go for a treatment from a qualified therapist to gain some knowledge on what wax looks like and what it does, and please please don't use it on babies   duh Comments By: alissa ok like im gunna try thhis tonight and i know how to use it im 15 and its not hard to figure out. And using it on a baby what kind of crap is that what kind of mom are u.   u guys r too funny Comments By: anonymous laugher lol reading these comments. omg some1 wants to use this wax theyve never tried on themselves on a BABY? wtf im sure her heads not a fur ball lol so just leave her alone. wow man too funny   you guys are dumb and saying those things for attention Comments By: Marina ok i know it works and if your stupid enough to put it on while its hot you need mental help and as far as the baby hair! are you crazy? why would you wax the hairs on your infants head? ITS NORMAL you need help too. thats why people like YOU shouldnt have babies! and the cotton strips are better to use they grip better.   Wow.. Comments By: Ellie Entertaining. Poor baby. lol Tried it, it works perfect, thanks.   umm eh? Comments By: ninia so im just wondering and does anyone have a scientific explaination as to how this will work? wouldnt the mixture just soak through the cotton strips and casue a big mess and achieve nothing? and to those who have used it, does it make the hair completely go from the roots?   much easier way Comments By: easywayout well my mother used to make that ages agoo, but theres a much easier way of making this wax...all u need to do is pour honey into a pot and put it on the stove for it to heat up and become thicker...then pour it onto ur wooden chopping board(it should be thick so it doesnt go everywhere) then wait to it to cool down before using it....once it has cooled down Not too cold though grab some and play with it as if it was playdough and caramel looking without feeling sticky. AND THATS IT. great stuff...And as for that so called mother that wants to wax her baby, ur a bloody monster..Love ur baby the way it is, even its a hairy little thing. Its baby hair and will all fall out   JANET Comments By: JANET wow!!!! Can't believe the comments. I laughed sooooo hard, my tears were coming down my face. well, I have to say it's all common sense. Thanks for the laugh. Oh, forgot to mention, what a cruel mom accept your baby the way it is. Meannie.   I should've read the comments first... Comments By: WhoNeedsProfessionals? Anybody who wants to wax their baby should be stoned. DO NOT MICROWAVE FOR 3 MINS! It will boil over and then you'll have an emergency on your hands. Boil for maybe a minute at a time but don't do what I did and walk away to go watch TV. You can go to your local beauty supply store and buy cotton waxing strips. On the the package it should say "For Honey Based Wax" Wait for it to cool. On the down side, what happens when the sugar doesn't dissolve all the way?   A smooth Pull Comments By: Michael's Hairy Man tips OK. We now have a recipe to make a wax. A couple tips to make it the most effective. Heating the area to be waxed before waxing helps to open the hair follicles making it easier to pull the entire root seed out with the hair, Making the waxing a lot more effective, and somewhat less painfull. When applying wax always apply in the direction of hair growth then pull away in the opposite direction. As for the cotton strips Linen strips are much better white linen to be specific there are no dies that could bleed or stain, plus the tighter weave of the material makes for a stronger bound to the waxing agent to make for a more productive pull each time. Old Bed sheets are good or just a trip to the local fabric store for a yard of material will really do the trick. To soothe the area after waking applying a topical spray for skin eritation helps a lot the burn sprays help a lot also. Good Luck and happy waxing.
