Sugar hair removal is considered a modern method of getting rid of hair, so in the salons of the master they offer you to make your skin beautiful and smooth quickly and practically without pain. And all this for little money, because shugaring requires a minimum of time and money. Other girls try to perform shugaring independently without any special skills, without knowing all the nuances and the right technology. Shugaring techniques are represented by several varieties, each of which is special and is used differently.
Why did you come up with various techniques of shugaring?
The fact is that in a certain part of the body it is more difficult to remove hair, therefore standard methods are not effective. Also, not everyone suffers the same pain, sometimes you need to try another way to remove hair.
Consequently, there are two main techniques used by shugaring masters:
But even this is not the entire list, there are several other little-known techniques, including:
- Palette - applying and removing the paste occurs with a special spatula. Rather effective way, but requires skills and practical skills,
- Italian glaze - allows you to combine different techniques using two different pastes.
Home shugaring techniques are selected on the basis of your procedure budget and experience. But the manual technique remains the standard and most popular one, with which we begin.
Manual equipment
Great for self-use, but also used in beauty salons. It is very easy to do, but you need to “catch it” and be able to correctly pull out the hair, soften the paste and prepare for the procedure. Manual technique involves a minimum of action, but strict implementation of each stage.
In fact, the essence of manual shugaring is as follows: the finished paste is applied to the area with the scalp against hair growth, it is smoothed over the body part and tearing the caramel mass over the hair growth with a sharp movement. Be sure to sprinkle the skin with talcum powder and warm the paste in your hands for a better condition. It is necessary to apply not the whole mass, you will have to leave a small area on one edge, for which you will have to grab the whole mass.
Among the main features of technology can be noted:
- In the salons conducting shugaring, the technique requires disrupting the paste with a certain sharpness, otherwise the hair will not be removed,
- For the success of the procedure will need to grow hair up to 5 mm, then the paste well captures the hair and tears them off the bulb,
- You will have to work with the paste in medical gloves, in the salons are available to all masters,
- The first attempts to remove hair spend on areas of skin with less sensitivity - legs, hands.
When choosing the technique of shugaring legs or hands, the manual technique will be best. All beginners start with it, which allows learning to remove hair with minimal risk.
Banding technology
Seriously different from the classic manual, often used in salons and requires skills. Less popular due to the high cost of the procedure, because it requires additional special bandage strips and a spatula. Such shugaring technique at home is rarely performed, because not every girl can handle a spatula and strips.
The essence of the technique is as follows:
- Similarly, the manual technique surface powdered with talcum powder,
- The finished paste is taken with a spatula in a small amount, applied evenly against hair growth,
- A special banding strip (cloth, paper) is applied over the sugar paste, but so that a small piece (1-2 cm) of strip is left to break the bandage,
- After half a minute, they tighten the skin near the applied paste, and with a sharp movement they tear off all the caramel mass in the direction of hair growth.
- If you are using a new piece of sugar paste, the strip also needs to take a new one,
- Finally, they treat the skin and soothe it with a cream.
The main features of the bandage technology include:
- less sugar paste is applied, for a bandage technique a thin layer is enough. Therefore, one jar is enough for many procedures
- ideal for small areas of the body - face, armpits, bikini area,
- use better quality fabric strips, paper quickly torn,
- the paste should be of a soft density, a tighter consistency increases the pain,
- choose a bandage technique due to less pain.
The sleeper technique
It has enough in common with the above methods of shugaring, but it is based on a special spatula. Experts recommend working only with metal or wooden spatulas.
The technique involves the following steps:
- Pre-skin sprinkled with talcum powder and smooth it,
- A spatula takes a small amount of caramel icing from the jar,
- Apply a thin layer of paste over the surface of the skin, also against the growth of unwanted hair,
- At the end leave a small roller so that it is convenient to take a sugar mass with a spatula,
- Fingers skin is tightened, with the help of a spatula tear the entire mass of hair growth,
- Classically treat the skin and disinfect it for better effect.
Skin recovery after summer
Despite the fact that shugaring is one of the least painful methods of depilation, discomfort is also possible here. Especially for those who do sugar depilation for the first time after shaving, as well as when removing hair from sensitive areas - bikini, underarms. In addition to the well-known methods of reducing pain (Emla cream, Lidocaine, pain pills) there are psychological techniques that perform the same function.
The main secret of the effectiveness of psychological techniques - pre-relaxation. With anxiety and tension, the hair follicles also shrink, so it becomes more difficult to remove hairs. To relax, lie down on the master's couch in the most comfortable position. Then, with your eyes closed, try to relax all the muscles in your body. At the same time breathing should be slow and deep. No sharp breaths and exhalations! Having relaxed, you can proceed to the psychological methods of reducing pain.
✔Play
In order not to dwell on the source of pain, you can concentrate on sensations in another part of the body, which is currently not being depilated. For example, when removing underarm hair, switch attention to the sensations in the back. Turning on the imagination, you can imagine that now there is a massage in this zone or warm summer air blows on your back.
Look around
As a rule, posters, paintings of girls, domestic animals, or beautiful landscapes hang on the walls of the master's office. When removing hair, look at the images that cause positive emotions. If there are no such nearby, visualize them in your imagination. It is scientifically proven: when a person sees what makes him feel affection and joy, the body produces happiness hormones - endorphins. Because of this, the pain is not so acutely felt.
✔Talk to the master
To feel less pain, you need to divert attention to something else. And what can be more effective than a fascinating conversation with another person, in this case - a master of depilation? You can combine business with pleasure and at the same time learn useful information, for example, about proper home care between treatments.
Whatever it was, from regular shugaring hairs become thinner, with each procedure, the pain will decrease. And soon the discomfort will disappear, and therefore, the need to use psychological techniques!

1. EASY SHUGARING TECHNIQUES
Most often, 3 techniques of working with sugar paste are used: manual, spatula and bandage. Different zones can be conveniently processed by different methods, we advise you to try everything and choose the most convenient options for you personally.
At the end of this recording, you can see a video with a visual demonstration of each technique.
BENEFITS: minimum of discomfort, careful removal of even the invisible eye vegetation, material savings, versatility
ZONES: hands, legs, bikini, armpits, stomach, back, face
PASTE DENSITY: all but bandage
DIFFICULTY OF DEVELOPMENT: moderate
The most widely known technique of shugaring. Manually executed (i.e., only with hands), hence the name. In our booklets on medium and dense paste we give a description of the manual method of applying sugar paste. Working with soft paste is also possible, but requires experienced cool hands or a room with a relatively low temperature.
BENEFITS: reduced load on the hands (do not get tired), reducing the likelihood of sticking of the paste
ZONES: legs, bikini, armpits, stomach, back
PASTE DENSITY: Mild or Medium
DIFFICULTY OF DEVELOPMENT: moderate, slightly easier than manual
This is a technique in which the work is done not by hand, but by a special trowel. Spatulas are made of various materials (metal, plastic, wood). For convenience, it is better to use a metal spatula, as wooden can easily break from the load. Apply the paste with a spatula against the growth of hair with a thin layer, then with a sharp movement, remove the paste on the hair growth. The sleeper technique is very convenient when processing large surfaces, as it saves time compared to manual techniques and material compared to bandage.
BENEFITS: ease of execution, speed
ZONES: hands, legs, stomach, back
PASTE DENSITY: bandage or soft
DIFFICULTY OF DEVELOPMENT: simple
The technique is very simple to perform, even a beginner can handle it. Unlike the manual method, here the paste is applied in the old manner with a thin, wide layer, and bandages are applied to it - special strips of non-woven material that help one or a couple of jerks to remove vegetation from a significant area of skin.
The technique is only suitable for areas with the same direction of hair growth, and is completely unsuitable for sensitive areas of the face, underarms and bikinis.
On execution it is similar to a bandage wax technique, with the only difference: sugar paste for shugaring is applied AGAINST hair growth, and then with a bandage breaks down GROWTH.
Paste is applied with a spatula, a layer as thin as possible, then the retaining strip is applied, ironed and broken. With this technique, the paste consumption increases, since the paste from the strip cannot be removed and used a second time, but you can use a soft paste, the consumption of which will be less due to its sufficiently liquid consistency.
The only thing that can be a complication is the hair stiffness. Unfortunately, soft paste does not capture tough hairs - in this case, use a medium density paste.
Shugaring: the mechanism of action on the hair
Shugaring (sugar hair removal) - a procedure with which you can get rid of unwanted hair. Excess vegetation is easily removed densely boiled sugar mass. Such a mixture in the form of heat is applied to the skin against the growth of hair, sharply torn off with unnecessary hairs, which are pulled out together with the root. Like any other method of hair removal, this method has its adherents and opponents, who vigorously discuss the pros and cons of shugaring.
The principle of operation is similar to waxing.
But in comparison with the latter, shugaring has the following advantages:
- Use only natural ingredients, the absence of chemical ingredients.
- The formation of ingrown hairs and inflammations of various kinds is excluded.
- Additional nutrition, moisturizing, cleansing, skin softening.
- There is no likelihood of burns.
- Minor pain, minimal discomfort.
- Slows down hair growth.
- Safety of use.
Indications and Contraindications
To learn all about shugaring, you need to re-read several articles and reviews from women who have learned from their own experience what it is. Shugaring is often used to remove excess vegetation from sensitive and irritated skin.
Shugaring is considered one of the most hygienic methods of hair removal, as sugar destroys bacteria and harmful microorganisms. Therefore, there are no specific contraindications to the procedure. With care it is necessary to treat only pregnant women.
If the skin has damage, cuts or inflammation, it is better to refrain from shugaring until the skin is completely healed. Also this method of hair removal is not recommended for people suffering from diabetes.
Types of paste for shugaring at home and where to buy them
A wide range of various shugaring pastes is presented on the modern cosmetic market.
To the usual buyer not to get confused and choose the right paste, you need to pay attention to its consistency and composition.
Consistency classification:
- Soft It has similarity with liquid honey.
- Medium density It is considered a universal option. Perfectly removes both hard hair and barely noticeable fluff.
- Dense. In a frozen form, it resembles strongly candied honey, but after warming it becomes plastic. Suitable for removing hard hairs.
The classification according to the composition consists of two types: on the basis of sugar and on the basis of glucose with fructose. Due to this composition, the paste has good epilating properties.
In the articles titled “Everything about Shugaring”, three main techniques are described:
Manual (classic method) - depilation with a sugar ball “toffee” directly by the master. Banding technique - a patchy sugar mixture is applied to the skin, level it, stick a bandage (a strip of special material) and tear it off sharply.
The sleeper technique is the way in which all the work is done with a trowel.
How to make shugaring legs and deep bikini
Before the procedure, you need to make sure that your hair has grown to 3-4 mm. If this question can be answered in the affirmative, you need to take a shower on the eve of the epilation. But overdoing is also not worth it: intensive rubbing with a sponge can cause micro-damage or redness of the skin. And this is a big minus in preparation for the procedure.
Italian icing
A great way to diversify the standard technique, "Italian icing" involves the use of two different pastes - a dense and soft consistency.
Shugaring with this technique is carried out as follows:
- The spatula is taken soft paste, smoothed over the body,
- On top of a soft paste put a sugar composition of dense consistency,
- With a sharp movement, the entire mass of sugar is torn off according to hair growth.
The best technique of shugaring deep bikini
The bikini area is particularly sensitive and requires special skills when removing hair. The hair here is complex, and the skin on the contrary, thin and soft. At home, it is not recommended to remove hair from the deep bikini area, without skills you can damage the skin and aggravate the situation. Simply trust the master in the cabin, which with minimal pain will remove unwanted "vegetation".
Based on the above techniques and their features, it is better to choose a shugaring bandage technique. It creates a minimum of pain, perfectly removes hair from small parts of the body. But in any case, before the epilation of the bikini zone, make sure that you “get your hand” and can work with bandage equipment.
Choosing spatulas for shugaring
Of course, manual and banding techniques are considered the most popular in the procedure of shugaring. They are simply executed and require a minimum set of tools. But spatula technique is not the last and is actively used by many girls and masters of beauty salons.
The main tool of this technique is a spatula, whose task is to evenly distribute the sugar paste and remove it. It is with a spatula that all the work is done, they take the paste from the jar, apply and smooth it over the body part, after which they also tear off the sugar mass. Therefore, spatulas for shugaring should be as comfortable and efficient as possible.
Types of spatula
There are three types of spatula, each of which is good in its own way and has certain disadvantages. The high-quality spatula makes it possible to conveniently work with the paste, when applied there are no stuck. The surface of the tool should provide good adhesion to the sugar mass. This will provide better removal of the paste and therefore unwanted hair. The most suitable will be a wooden, plastic and metal spatula.
Wooden spatulas for shugariga
The cheapest and simplest product is considered disposable due to its characteristics and poor quality. The wooden spatula does not need to be processed before the procedure, all edges are even, they allow to apply the paste with high quality and evenly throughout the whole area. Unfortunately, wood is used thin, so often the spatula breaks.
Metal. The best option, metal spatulas are used in most beauty salons. Metal has good strength, does not bend and does not break when working. When choosing a spatula of a suitable shape, turn out to create a thin path of sugar paste. The disadvantages include the cold surface of the metal, the paste can slightly change the density. But during the work of such cases it was not enough, the metal holds hands warm well and interacts well with the sugar mass. After use requires mandatory disinfection.
Plastic. A good option for spear equipment, has an affordable price, but not very convenient for beginners. Spreading the paste evenly and finely can be difficult due to the lack of even edges. Cheap plastic spatulas can break when used heavily.
The technique of working with a spatula for shugaring requires mandatory skills, so you can train on less sensitive areas of the body - legs, arms, abdomen. The popularity of technology is small, but if you learn to use the spatula, the result will pleasantly surprise you.
What is shugaring?
The essence of the shugaring procedure is to remove hair on the human body using adhesive mass of different density - sugar paste. This type of hair removal has come to us since the time of Cleopatra, but has not lost its relevance today.
Many women chose this method because of the huge number of its advantages:
- The naturalness of the components of a cosmetic mixture, which eliminates allergic reactions.
- High efficiency of the procedure - skin silkiness is maintained for at least two weeks.
- The availability of the method at home and cost savings.
- The minimum number of contraindications.
- No mechanical damage to the skin and hair ingrowth (provided that the procedure is performed correctly).
- Universality of the technique for any part of the body.
- Relatively low pain epilation.
To get all the expected benefits from caramel hair removal, you need to properly prepare for the procedure:
- First, you need to wait until the hair grows to the desired length (the best option is 4-5 mm, but the sugar technique is allowed with a hair length of 3 to 8 mm).
- The second stage is the preparation of the skin at the site of the shugaring procedure. On the eve of hair removal is recommended to take a bath to open the pores for better penetration of the paste.
- A prerequisite for preparing for the procedure shugaring is cleaning the skin from fat and cosmetics. In this case, the sugar syrup will be evenly distributed over the skin, and the hairs will stick well. You can wipe the skin with alcohol, and then use talcum powder or baby powder.
Depending on the consistency of the cosmetic mixture and epilation zones, there are three techniques of this procedure, which are used both in beauty salons and at home:
- manual classic
- bandage,
- manual with applique.
The choice of technology affects the time of the procedure shugaring. Detailed characteristics of each of the techniques is below.
- The correct recipe for home shugaring paste at home is exactly what will help get rid of unwanted vegetation.
- Tips from professional beauticians about how to choose a paste for shugaring to ensure the effectiveness of the procedure. More information on the link.
Description of manual equipment
This method involves applying paste to the skin with the help of hands. You can use gloves or work without them. In beauty salons always use gloves, at home you can act at your discretion. However, experts recommend the use of gloves, so that the sugar composition does not melt from contact with hot hands.
Another important condition for successful manual shugaring is to perform the procedure in a warm or cool room. Try to avoid sources of steam near the workplace: sugar composition well absorbs moisture, and from this its performance is sharply reduced.
For the quality of the procedure you need to choose the paste of the desired consistency. If manual hair removal is performed without gloves, you need to stay on the composition of the maximum or medium hardness. In order not to be mistaken with the density of the mixture, it is better to choose a professional paste for shugaring. The optimal hair length for manual equipment is 3-5 mm.
In the process, you need to monitor the consistency of the sugar composition. If the paste has become too thin, it must be replaced with a new one. If it is too hardened, it is enough to warm it up to body temperature. The density of the cosmetic mass should be such that it was supple, warmed up easily and lay evenly on the skin.
Acquaintance with the manual technique of shugaring should be started from the areas where the depilation is least painful - hands and feet. Then you can move to more sensitive places - armpits, bikini area or upper lip.
For the high-quality execution of a manual procedure, experience and skill are needed, and this technique is not immediately susceptible to beginners. If you make mistakes in areas with sensitive skin, it may seem that shugaring is a very painful procedure. Some particularly sensitive areas may even become inflamed.
Step-by-step instruction manual technology manual method:
- Separate a small piece the size of a quail egg from the paste and knead it in your hands for a few minutes, until the ball becomes ductile and pliable.
- Apply caramel clay on the skin with a uniform layer against hair growth (one ball should be used to treat the area no longer than 5 cm, for arms and legs a maximum length of 10 cm is allowed).
- A few seconds after the application of the cosmetic mixture, it is necessary to tear it off with a sharp movement over the hair growth, before pulling it in and fixing the skin.
- If some hairs remain on the treated area, repeat the procedure again. Then you can proceed to the next section.
- After the procedure, the remnants of caramel are washed off with water.
- Treat epilated areas with an antiseptic, then apply a moisturizer or lotion.
Some important tips
We hope that these methods of shugaring will help you to carry out a full-fledged depilation procedure right at home, and the effect will not be inferior to similar services in beauty salons. However, for the best effect in advance:
- Read the correct recipe for making depilatory molasses (sugar paste) and the conditions for this operation.
- Also, the first time it is better to try on a less sensitive area of the skin (hand or foot). With the emergence of skills, you can move on to experiments and more erogenous zones.
Good luck in your search for eternal youth!
Features and advantages of bandage technology
Banding technique is the application of sugar paste using special spatulas and removing it using bandages of polymeric materials. A kit for a bandage procedure can be purchased at a specialty store.
If you want to use improvised means, you can take a plastic knife instead of a trowel, and make strips of thick paper to remove the compound (fabric bandages will not work, because the fabric absorbs the paste very quickly and its consumption will increase).
The best paste for bandage shugaring - soft or medium density. It should be applied evenly and spread well over the skin. Beginners should choose the purchased version of the cosmetic mixture, so as not to be mistaken with the density.
With the help of a single band-bandage, you can remove hair from a rather extensive area. In addition, the banding technique is less traumatic compared to manual (the effect on the skin is minimal), so it is great for sensitive skin. Bandage shugaring at home - ideal for beginners.
Banding method is recommended in the following cases:
- Length of hairs more than 4 mm.
- Treatment of heavily sweating zones (with the classic manual technique, prominent perspiration interferes with work and changes the consistency of the paste).
- Removal of fine vellus hair.
- Select extensive areas for hair removal (eg legs or hands).
- Work with hard-to-reach zones (for example, bandage shugaring of a deep bikini zone).
- The presence of minor defects on the skin (for example, scars or stretch marks).
The procedure of bandage hair removal has the following algorithm:
- Preparation of the skin (treatment with a disinfectant, then with talcum powder or baby powder).
- Heated pasta to a temperature of 37-40 degrees (in a water bath or in the microwave).
- Applying a thin layer of paste against the growth of hair with a spatula (it is allowed to apply caramel of medium thickness with gloved hands).
- Gluing the bandage strip to the skin so that there is a free edge to grip.
- Removing the bandage with a sharp movement in the direction of hair growth (before that, you need to tighten and fix the skin, without this there can be microtrauma).
- After the end of the procedure, wash off the remnants of the paste with warm water.
- Treatment of the skin with antiseptic and moisturizing cosmetic.
The use of manual techniques with application
In addition to the classic manual method, there is a manual technique with an application. Technique of this type of shugaring is similar to the classic manual version. Its feature is the use of a paste of very dense texture, so that the procedure can be carried out in hot weather and in conditions of high humidity.
Before epilation, you need to heat the caramel to a temperature of 35-40 degrees, so that it becomes as plastic as possible. From two to six lumps of caramel are alternately superimposed on the desired areas in the form of applications for 1-2 minutes, then also sequentially removed.
During this time, the paste deeply penetrates inside, and the hair is easily removed. This method of hair removal is preferred for areas of the armpits and bikinis for two reasons: firstly, these are the areas with the most sweating, and secondly, they have hard hair.
The rest of the technology of depilation is similar to the classic manual method. It is imperative that disinfecting and moisturizing procedures be performed after shugaring.
- High-quality depilation of intimate areas can easily be done at home. Just know the rules.
- Description of the essence of the shugaring procedure. Differences between techniques. The source is here.
Tips for choosing a shugaring technique
The success of sugar hair removal is the right choice of equipment and cosmetic mixture. Let us dwell on the recommendations of specialists related to the processing of certain areas and the choice of shugaring equipment at home:
- Feet and hands are more convenient and faster to handle the bandage technique.
- For armpits, you can choose a bandage technique or a manual method with application (it must be borne in mind that in this area the hair grows in two opposite directions, so they are removed in two stages).
- The ideal technique of shugaring a deep bikini is a manual method with appliqué (manual work is more controllable, besides, hair removal from a vast area is not suitable for a bikini area).
- Fluffy hair on the face and in other places is recommended to be removed with bandages.
Manual work gives minimal pain, but manual methods take longer than the shugaring spatula technique. Beginners should remember that if their choice is based on the manual method, it is better to turn to professional masters, because the quality of the procedure depends even on such nuances as the correct location of the fingers and the conduct of massage movements.
In addition to the three main methods of sugar hair removal, there are so-called mix-techniques using a paste of various densities. For example, the “Italian glaze” technique involves applying a semi-liquid composition with a spatula, and removing the mixture using pieces of thick paste.
Sugar hair removal has several ways to remove unwanted hair. Each woman can choose the most suitable technique, based on the characteristics of their skin, the density of sugar paste, epilation areas, temperature and work technology.
Application method
The method of shugaring with appliqué is a kind of classical manual technique. The application method is easy to perform, therefore it is suitable for those who first try the method of removing hair with sugar paste. It is distinguished by the fact that for the epilation paste is used increased density. Thus, this procedure can be performed in the summer or at high humidity. The advantage of this method is that you can simultaneously apply several lozenges of material to different parts of the body.
The procedure for performing hair removal:
- Mash the paste in your hands for 2–3 minutes, until it takes a temperature at which it becomes soft and plastic.
- Then do not rub the mixture over the surface of the skin, but simply put several lumps alternately on the parts of the body to be depilated.
- After 1-2 minutes, you should sharply tear off the paste in the direction of hair growth, pressing on its edge.
The appliqué technique is ideal for the armpit and bikini area, characterized by high sweating and hair stiffness.
Bandage method
Banding technique is ideal for removing hair from the back, legs and other large-sized areas. In comparison with the manual method, it will take more time and material to carry out this technique, but the procedure itself is more careful. In addition to sugar paste, you will need more tissue or paper strips, as well as a spatula.
Depilation with bandage shugaring is performed using a mixture of a sufficiently solid consistency.
The procedure for performing hair removal:
- Pre-clean the skin with chlorhexidine or a special lotion to disinfect the removal of a layer of fat.
- After that, apply talc to clean skin, which provides the best mix of the mixture with the area.
- Then prepare the sugar mass - heat it in a microwave or rub it in your hands until it resembles soft clay.
- Distribute the resulting material evenly with a thin layer in the direction against the hair growth. The easiest way to do this with a spatula.
- Next, take a cloth or paper strip and press to the area treated with paste. The bandage strip should be applied on top of the paste, carefully smoothing it out first for a more intimate contact with the surface. One banding strip can be used up to three times in case the hair in the area for depilation is not too thick.
- After applying the mixture, wait 30 seconds, during which the paste hardens and captures all the hairs.
- Tear off the strip with one hand, while the other hand should moderately strongly pull the skin. Remember that if the tension is too weak, the process of pulling out the hair can cause pain. It is necessary to remove the strip with a sharp movement necessarily in the direction of hair growth.
- After that, wash off the rest of the mixture with warm water and moisturize your skin with a soothing cream.
This technique is also suitable for removing hair from hard-to-reach places, for example, bikini zones. But when depilating this area, you should be more careful and tear off the strip with very fast movements so that the procedure is as painless as possible. In addition, do not heat the paste to avoid burns. Otherwise, the depilation method of bandaging shugaring bikini zone is not different from other zones.
One banding strip can be used several times.
Bandage Fabric
For the manufacture of banding strips suitable any natural fabric, for example, linen or cotton. In this case, the bandage can be used several times, if immediately after applying it to wash and stroke. To prevent the material from breaking, choose denser fabrics that will ensure high-quality contact with sugar paste.
If you do not have professional polymeric materials, as well as fabric or paper materials, you can use high-density tracing paper or baking paper.
Squeegee technique
The squeegee technique is similar to the shugging method, but a squeegee is used instead of a spatula. This tool is made of plastic. For different zones of depilation, devices of various sizes are available.
For this technique, paste is used, having a soft or medium level of hardness.
To remove the paste from the jar, a squeegee is used, by which the mixture is then applied to the skin. In all other respects, the doctor method is no different from spatula.
Which way to choose
The main advantage of the manual technique is less invasiveness, since this procedure does not break the hair, and the effect on the skin is minimal. Since the technique is carried out by hand, the movements are easier controlled than when using a spatula. At the same time the mixture is additionally heated by hand.
On the other hand, for beginners or when performing the procedure at home, shugaring will work better. This method saves time and is more convenient and easy. Its disadvantage is a higher invasiveness: during the procedure, the hair may break, and bruises may appear on the skin. In addition, for this technique requires a greater amount of materials.
Ideally, it is better to combine these techniques. The classic manual method is generally a more gentle method of hair removal, especially suitable for depilating intimate areas. For the deep bikini zone, the manual method with application is ideal. And with the help of bandage technology, thick hair is easily removed, as well as hairs on the face, legs and hands. In order to remove vegetation in the armpits, it is better to use a combination of bandage technique with appliqué.
