Sugaring hair removal is a method of temporary hair removal, wherein a paste comprised of sugar, water, and lemon juice is applied to the skin and subsequently removed, eliminating unwanted hair in the direction of hair growth. It works by adhering to the hair follicle and pulling the entire hair out from the root.
The main product types in sugaring hair removal are strip sugar, hand paste, and others. Strip sugar represents a form of sugaring product crafted for application with strips, resembling the conventional waxing process, and serves as an alternative to wax-based products, employing a technique closely akin to traditional waxing methods. The wax types include soft sugar wax, medium sugar wax, and hard or firm wax. They are used by consumer groups such as men and women for applications including face and body by end users such as individuals and commercials.
