I did the wax thing twice. While I liked the results, of course it did have some (manageable) discomfort during the process, but I did have a histamine reaction to the wax. So I had to deal with redness and bumps for a few days...
Just tried SUGARING last week. AMAZING how different it is! WAY WAY WAAAAY LESS discomfort in the process. The sugar past is body temp so no possibility of any burns, and they pull same direction as the hair (way less possible breakage of the hair). And the best part... No redness or skin reactions the next day. Totally hooked!! Never going to wax again. Same smooth hair free results without the hot wax and negative next day reactions. Sure it did sting occasionally (it is ripping hair out after all) but on a scale of 1 - 10 with waxing being at 10, this was at worst a 5, bit mostly a 3.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND SUGARING!!
