This Persian waxing technique is supposed to remove hair without any toxic chemicals that can be found in regular waxing strips, and using ingredients that you can find in your home. It is suggested you have hair at least 2 cm long before attempting to wax.
Start by combining 1 cup of brown or white sugar, 2 Tablespoons of water, 1.5 Tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of salt (optional) in a saucepan on low heat. When the mixture thickens and turns golden-brown, stir it with a spoon to dissolve all of the sugar crystals and let it simmer for approximately 8 minutes, until it has a syrupy consistency. You'll know its been overcooked if its stopped being syrupy and goes back to being liquid, in which case you will have to start over because it will cool into a solid instead of a dough. Once it is syrupy, take it off heat and let it cool into a wax. Once cooled it should have a doughy consistency. Simply apply it to your skin and pull away in the direction opposite of hair growth.
My results: The mixture cooked just as the website said it would, but when I applied it to my leg and tried to wax it, the only thing that it succeeded in doing was putting my in pain. Little no none of my hair was removed, I just had a dull ache. I would suggest sticking to regular waxing or shaving.
