When it comes to getting rid of unwanted hair on your body, most are quick to resort to waxing, shaving, or sometimes even laser. The newest hair removal process, sugaring, is quickly taking over the industry. The process involves a paste made from sugar, water, and lemon that pulls the hair out at the root. Sugaring has been shown to cause less ingrown hairs, hair that grows back softer and finer, and leads to an overall permanent reduction.

Hair Grows Back Softer and Slower
Sugar is applied against the direction of hair growth, and the removal is done in the same way as the growth, which puts less pressure on the hair shaft leading to less breakage. In order to have sugaring done, your hair must be at least a quarter-inch long so that the paste is able to stick to the hair and pull it out at the root. In doing this, the follicle will have a limited blood supply that will ultimately weaken over time. As your hair grows back, it will be sparser and finer instead of full and course.
Less Ingrown Hairs
Ingrown hairs are caused by dead skin that clogs the hair follicle, forcing strands to grow sideways rather than upward. Although there is no way to completely prevent ingrown hair, sugaring proves to be a great option to help keep them away. With the sugaring process, you are cleaning out any dirt or skin cells that may prevent your hair from growing normally.
Permanent Solution
The key to seeing a permanent reduction of hair from sugaring is in the consistency of your treatments. It is important to keep track of your appointments and then come in when your hair reaches the optimal length. When your hair is removed while it is short, it takes longer for it to grow back. Removing your hair early in its growth phase when it is still attached to the follicle will cause the follicle wall to collapse. Hair is unable to grow without the follicle wall in place, so eventually, this becomes a permanent solution.
