Think of your own head of hair to illustrate this point: If you were to pull a patch of hair (at the follicle level) from your own head over and over (GASP, please never do this). The thinner the hair - the less painful the process will be! Continual removal of hair at the follicle eventually damages the follicle badly enough that hair begins to either thin-out or becomes permanently bald in certain areas.

Pulling a strip of wax which is partially attached to the skin can add immense amounts of un-needed pain to the hair removal process (not to mention the damage it does to your skin bleeding, open wounds, infections and rashes or ingrown hairs).Īnother amazing reason sugaring can be less painful than waxing is the fact that sugaring results in more hair being pulled at the hair follicle level which in turn leads to thinner hair (or even permanent baldness). Sugar paste is also water soluble and simply cannot adhere to live skin cells. Sugar is never heated above room temperature and cannot burn the skin like waxing.
The biggest difference between the pain of waxing compared to sugaring begins with the material being used. Although with sugaring there is strong benefits (some already described above), which attribute to sugaring being the preferred method of hair removal over waxing especially when it comes to the subject of pain. Claiming that any hair removal technique could be "pain free" is simply not possible. No matter what method of hair removal you use (sugaring, waxing, or even plucking), you are still essentially pulling hair and pulling any amount of hair will always cause pain to some degree.
Not pain free, but it does get better every time! Everyone's hair texture and pain tolerance is different, but you should be able to feel the difference between waxing and sugaring after your very first visit.

But if you prefer to have it go faster with one full strip, sugaring can do that too! No matter the strip size, sugaring is typically faster than waxing (depending on your pain tolerance and the texture of your hair). Waxing is typically done in one large strip per section (OUCH). This is useful for persons with a lower pain tolerance (especially in the more sensitive areas). Instead of using longer strips to remove large amounts of hair all at once, sugaring allows us to chip away at smaller areas. It is also more sanitary than waxing by using the same ball of sugar, there is no double dipping and it's a natural antibacterial! The risk of infection is greatly reduced with sugaring. Sugar is only heated to room temp and cannot burn the skin (unlike wax).
Wax contains resins so chemical solvents are required to remove it?s residues (a painful process after just getting your hair pulled!). Since it is water soluble, it is easier to clean up and won't leave you feeling sticky. The sugar paste is made up of 100% pure and natural ingredients. Since sugar paste cannot adhere to live skin, you can go over the hairs as much as you want with the same ball of sugar (which comes in handy for stubborn hairs). Plucking the remaining hairs is your only option with wax. Wax cannot be applied to an area more than twice before the skin is too damaged or sensitive to continue. Sugaring does remove dead skin cells ? so as the hair is removed, your skin is also getting exfoliated - leaving you with silky smooth skin every time! Since wax can adhere directly to live skin cells, it has been known to remove more than just the hair, which makes waxing more painful & irritating (especially in the most sensitive areas like Brazilians). This means less discomfort for you & less trauma to your skin. Sugar paste cannot adhere to live skin cells. You only have to have about 1/6 hair growth vs the 1/4 hair growth needed for waxing. This results in shorter hairs being extracted in addition to more hair follicles being pulled. Best of all, it results in longer lasting hair re-growth times!ĭuring application, the sugar paste seeps into the hair shaft (grabbing hair deeper than wax ever could). Sugaring is ideal for sensitive skin the risk of getting a rash is much lower (hardly ever) compared to waxing. Pulling WITH the direction of the hair, as with Sugaring, results in more hairs being pulled from the hair follicle itself and way less hair breakage or ingrown hairs. Whereas wax is the opposite laid WITH the hair, and pulled AGAINST the hair. One of the biggest differences between sugaring and waxing is that sugar is laid AGAINST the direction of the hairs natural growth and pulled WITH the direction of the hair.
