Add the ingredients
Pour 2 cups of granulated sugar, ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, and ¼ cup water into a heavy-bottom saucepan.

Heat and stir
Place the pan over medium heat and stir continuously until the sugar fully dissolves into the liquid.

Cook gently
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer. Keep stirring occasionally until it turns a golden amber color, similar to honey.

Check consistency
Drop a small amount of the mixture into cold water. If it forms a soft, flexible ball, the sugar wax is ready.

Remove and cool
Take the saucepan off the heat and allow the wax to cool for 10–15 minutes until warm but safe to touch.

Test before use
Stretch a small amount between your fingers or with a spatula. The wax should be smooth, stretchy, and not runny.

Ready to apply
Once the texture feels right, your homemade sugar wax is ready for hair removal.
