No one's hair growth and hair follicles are identical. So, a person's waxing or sugaring schedule really depends on how fast the hair grows — and how long they can withstand a little stubble. On average, the results from your sugaring appointment will last around three weeks, per Healthline. An added bonus is that the more often you go, the slower and thinner the hair being removed should grow back.
Plus, according to Enrique Ramirez, a wax expert, esthetician, and the founder of Face to Face spa in NYC, sugaring won't turn the skin red and irritated like waxing often does. "I personally prefer sugaring, as results last longer and it's less redness left afterward," she shared with Byrdie.
If your budget, schedule, or desire to have more DIY in your life is stopping you from getting to the salon every three weeks, then you're in luck. The mixture used for sugaring is easy to make, easy to apply, and easy to clean up, so you can do it all by yourself at home. Without having to schedule an appointment, you can try sugaring whenever the mood — or stubble — strikes.
