00:03Hi, I'm Allison McNamara. We're going to pin and win at home sugar waxing. So here's what you'll
00:09need. Two cups of sugar, a quarter cup of lemon juice, an eighth cup of water, a pinch of salt,
00:15a whisk, and a saucepan. So I'm a huge fan of sugar waxing. Hot wax is actually not natural
00:21at all. Sugar waxing is 100% natural. You can make it with ingredients you already have at home.
00:27Two big safety tips to keep in mind. One, do not microwave it. And two, always test the temperature
00:35on the inside of your hand before you start, not with your finger. Do not trust these guys. They
00:39lie to you. Safety first. So let's start cooking, shall we? First up, sugar, lemon juice. I squeeze
00:47this myself. Water, and then a pinch of salt. So now we start whisking it all together. Next, you put
00:55your mixture on the stove, and when it comes to a simmer, you turn down the heat because you want
00:59to keep it at that simmer, and you don't want it to overboil. And then once it starts simmering,
01:04it kind of turns, like, watery. And then you'll start seeing the colors emerge. Don't let it get
01:09too dark, though, because then it's just caramel. And voila, here's your sugar wax. This has been
01:13sitting for a couple hours, so it's definitely hard. So in order to get it a little bit more malleable
01:18to wax ourselves, we've got to reheat it just a little bit. So don't microwave it. You put
01:23it in a hot bowl of water. Now that our wax is more malleable, it's time to start waxing.
01:30Wish me luck. Give it a few seconds to set before you rip it off. And then kind of nick
01:42one side, and then, oops, . This is awful. Oh my god, I covered in sugar. And now it's
01:52kind of hurting because it is pulling off my hairs. Oh! Oh my god, just it. Go pay someone
02:01to wax you. This is not easy. Do not try this at home. It is impossible.
02:06It is impossible.
