This is an amazing recipe used to do your own hair removal wax at home. Sugar, water, honey and lemon juice are the most common ingredients in homemade hair wax. the substance will last a long time in the refrigerator and keeps the cost at a few cents per application. this in conjunction with how long you wait between applications makes waxing much more cost effective than shaving. Shaving has always been my number solution for ugly hair growth where I don't want it but waxing seems to take up to 4 weeks to start growing back. Usually I have to shave the next day and quite frankly it's exhausting. Did you know waxing can actually change the growth pattern of your hair? Especially when it comes to the legs. waxing, over time can slow down hair growth and make new hairs finer and softer. 

**Warning** 
Make sure wax is warm to touch so you don't burn yourself.
