September 25, 2023When we think of summer, flaunting flawless, smooth skin comes to mind. However, the secret to that perfect hair-free glow starts earlier than most realize. In fact, the best time to begin your hair removal is during the cooler months, ensuring more effective and lasting results by summer.
What is Brazilian Sugaring? Sugaring, whether it be a Brazilian, in the bikini area, or other areas of the body, is an ancient hair removal technique that utilizes a paste made from sugar, lemon, and water. With numerous benefits like being gentle on the skin, reducing the risk of ingrown hairs, and offering longer-lasting results than traditional waxing, it’s no wonder it has become my most requested hair removal service. The popularity of Brazilian sugaring and bikini sugaring, in particular, has skyrocketed – and for a good reason!
If you’re wondering the best time to start sugaring or waxing, the key lies in understanding hair growth cycles. Our hair doesn’t grow uniformly. Instead, it grows in various cycles: anagen (growth phase), catagen (transitional phase), and telogen (resting phase). Your hairs are at different stages of these cycles at any given time.
Starting your sugaring sessions in the fall ensures that by the time summer rolls around, most of your hair is synced in its growth cycle, leading to smoother results that last longer. After several sugaring sessions, more and more hair is removed in the anagen phase, which is when the hair follicle is most vulnerable. Over time, this can even lead to less hair growth!
Did you know that maintaining a regular waxing or sugaring schedule is key to achieving long-lasting results? Sticking to a consistent sugar routine every three to four weeks will help you achieve better, longer-lasting results over time, with less hair regrowth and discomfort and even reduced service time!
Some clients even report permanent hair loss after sticking to a regular schedule for a few years. The hair simply stops growing back!

While it might be tempting to shave, tweeze, or trim between sessions, it’s best to resist. Such actions can lead to thicker, stronger regrowth, complicating your subsequent sugaring appointments. Interrupting the hair’s natural growth cycle can hinder the effectiveness of sugaring. Shaving and tweezing results in uneven regrowth and varied hair lengths, causing some hairs to be too short for the sugar to grasp effectively. For optimal results that last, leave your regrowth for your sugaring expert.
Achieving and maintaining the best results from your waxing or sugaring sessions goes hand in hand with home care.

Integrating these home care essentials into your daily routine can elevate the effectiveness of your treatments, foster healthier skin, and minimize discomfort.

Not only will you be ahead of the curve, but you’ll also enjoy better, longer-lasting results.
