How to Make a Hair Remover?

Published in DIY Hair Removal 3 mins read

Making a hair remover at home involves several methods, each with varying degrees of effectiveness and potential skin irritation. Here are some DIY options:

DIY Sugar Wax

This method, referenced in several YouTube videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE5Jqgx6oaw, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V14CiazuJkE), uses readily available ingredients to create a sugar-based waxing solution. Recipes vary slightly, but a common ratio includes:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup water

Combine ingredients and heat gently, stirring until a thick, syrupy consistency is achieved. Apply to the skin in the direction of hair growth, then remove in the opposite direction using a cloth strip.

Baking Soda Paste

Another home remedy, mentioned in various online sources (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3-izIorrQ8), utilizes baking soda:

  • Mix a small amount of baking soda with a few drops of lemon juice.
  • Add water to create a thick paste.
  • Apply to the area and leave for 15 minutes.
  • Wash off thoroughly.

This method is less effective for complete hair removal than waxing, but some find it helpful for reducing hair growth or softening the hair.

Crystal Hair Remover

Some individuals use crystal hair removers (https://www.reddit.com/r/MakeUpAddictionUK/comments/w15ieu/has_anyone_tried_one_of_those_crystal_hair/), which are typically sold commercially but could also be a focus for a future DIY project with the correct crystal material research. These tools utilize physical exfoliation to remove hair when used on wet skin.
