Anyone know a good homemade recipe for cold wax?
You know the kind that is used often in the Middle East; almost like puddy and no heat needed.
I saw one at Face Values but it said that people with diabetes shouldnt use it and I’m borderline gasteric diabetic so that just freaked me out.
Thanks in advance.

Homemade ‘halawah’
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
juice of one lemon
You cook all of the above over a very slow flame till it’s a pale gold. Keep a glass of ice cold water next to the stove and drop 1/2 tsp of it into the cold water..it should form a soft ball. Let the mixture cool.. and work-it till it’s like clay. 
Re: Cold Wax
Doing this stuff at home is cheap all right, but way too messy. I would rather walk in at a salon and get it done.
Re: Cold Wax
its way too messy and it takes FOREVER. i hated it cuz thats the way they do it in arabia .. in most of the parlors.
why not try wax by veet? its faster and way way less messy... though im not sure if its ok for diabetics.
Re: Cold Wax
ive tried it, and it works but its messy ... i prefer Veet wax
Re: Cold Wax
get a bottle of glucose or glucose syrup ,heat it in pan till it boil and got thick then let it cool your wax is ready.
Re: Cold Wax
I didnt ask if I should be going to the parlour or not - KOYEE wajah ho gei na.
Maybe COW me 9 months preggers doesnt really feel like sitting half naked in front of anyone… GS key logo stick to the topic.
that being said…
gina pina thanks for comming to the rescue once again.
for all the veet lovers.. thanks I’ll try that as well. but I’ve been using GiGi ka wax and warmer, works like a charm and I didnt feel like it took to long. Slightly messy until you get control of your wax.
