Getting your sugar wax to the right temperature is crucial to the waxing process! If your wax is too cold it won’t be at the right consistency to attach to your hair, and thusly you will not be successful at removing hair from the follicle. On the other hand, if your wax is too hot, you will end up burning yourself - which can be incredibly painful and will take time to heal! So, If you want to be successful in your at-home waxing endeavours, you need to make sure that you are using the right heating methods and equipment for the best results! A uniform heat source will help your sugar wax reach the optimum temperature of 105.8°F (41°C) for a perfect honey-like consistency, and will help to maintain that temperature and viscosity while on stand-by and during the application process.
Fill a saucepan or pot 2/3rds of the way with water, and set it on the stove over high heat.
Grab yourself a heat-resistant bowl that will fit into the saucepan or pot that you’ve chosen and set it gently on top of the pot, touching the water.
When the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low to bring your water down to a simmer.
Wax beads should be added directly to the heat-resistant bowl, while other waxes, such as Hot Wax and Sugar Wax should be left in their respective containers when placed into the double boiler that you’ve just created.
Stir your wax regularly with a wooden spatula and monitor the wax using a thermometer until it reaches the perfect temperature.
When your wax is ready, use the wooden spatula for application.
Let’s be honest, not all heating methods are created equal! Heating your sugar wax on a stovetop or over a candle can be a long and tedious process. It can be a pain trying to find the right bowl and pot that will fit together just right! Are you certain that the bowl you’re about to use is heat resistant? Do you have a thermometer on hand to check the temperature of the wax? Oh, and let’s not forget about the risk of serious burns, spillage or accidentally starting a fire!
Though the microwave method is a much safer option, heating in the microwave may not be suitable for all wax types. Every microwave is different so the heating process becomes a guessing game in 10- second increments - not to mention the risk of getting wax all over the inside of your microwave, and the tiresome process of reheating your wax in the middle of your hair-removal regimen.
