The Arab sokkar wax based on sugar
It's called sokkar or halawa, which in Arabic means "sweetness". And sugar is not the only ingredient. To prepare this ancient Arab hair removal recipe, a hot topic in Nadine Labaki's film, Caramel, four simple ingredients are needed: a glass of plain or raw sugar, very little water, the juice of half a lemon and a pinch of salt. They are cooked together for about eight to ten minutes, making the sugar make large bubbles, then let it cool and work on a cold surface (marble or a large pizza plate). The dough that is formed is sufficient on its own to remove the hair, it does not need strips or sticks, it is sufficient to form a ball that stretches from time to time against the grain and tear in the direction of the same. To practice preparing a good sugar wax, you can follow this video tutorial , prepared by a girl with the traditional Arabic technique . Do not be discouraged because, for the first few times, it takes some training, especially to adjust to the cooking times of the sugar and reach the right consistency.
The thread that shaves
The technique of natural depilation with thread always comes from the Eastern tradition, still used in India for example, according to which women have learned to make use of a simple very resistant cotton thread to eradicate the hairs at the root. This thread is placed between the fingers of the hands like a spiral, while a part of it is tied to the neck of the depilator in order to be able to pry and uproot the hairs in any part of the body you want to work. The result of the treatment and the time of application depend very much on the strength of the hair and how it has been treated so far, from its history. This is a technique that leads to the reduction of hair growth, so much so that it is used above all to eliminate hair in the areas of the face or in the most delicate parts of the body.
Honey hair removal
For honey waxing, serve strips of fabric or cotton, which can be purchased in special stores, half a glass of sugar and half a lemon, a teaspoon of honey. The procedure begins like that of the sokkar. Melt the sugar over a low heat, add the lemon and honey when the sugar begins to brown. It is stirred continuously and left to cool. Unlike the sokkar it is not finally worked with water, hence the permanence of a softer consistency which allows to spread a very thin layer on the parts to be depilated with the use of strips .
