As I said I would make a list that compares waxing vs sugaring (or sugar waxing)
Waxing
CONS
1) Is applied at a hotter temperature. This is necessary for the wax to bind to the hairs as well as consistency and other chemical reasons.
2) Is usually applied with the direction of hair growth and then removed against the direction of hair growth. This can cause hairs to break instead of being pulled out by the root completely.
3) Uses chemicals. Technically sugar is a chemical as well, but I believe you understand what I mean. Wax chemicals can cause some allergic reactions to people with sensitive skin.
4) Binds to both hair and skin, and as such can cause the skin to tear.
5) Difficult to remove, not water soluble.
PROS
1) Quicker than sugaring.
2) Easier to handle than sugaring (due to sugaring being stickier).
3) Cheaper than sugaring if done in a professional setting.
Sugaring
CONS
1) Can be difficult to make sometimes.
2) More expensive than waxing if done in a professional setting. This is due to the fact that sugaring takes longer, and training is required for people to perform it correctly.
3) Can be messy.
4) Takes longer.
5) Difficult to find someone professional to do it since most places do modern waxing to avoid extra training.
PROS
1) Much cheaper if done at home compared to waxing. (sugar=$3, water=free (tap water -not tech. but you know what I mean), lemon= $1, salt=$3, total price= $7).
2) If doing a "hard" sugar the same piece of sugar can be used multiple times.
3) Easy clean up. It's water soluble and so you'll never be sticky.
4) Traditionally (but not always) applied against direction of hair growth -which can cause discomfort- but pulled following the direction of hair growth. Allows for a cleaner pull, with less pain.
5) Can be considered hypoallergenic.
6) If "hard" sugaring then hair only needs to be 1/16th of an inch long as opposed to 1/4th for waxing
