How Often Should You Get Sugared—and Why?

Jillian Crabtree • August 29, 2024

The Hair Growth Cycle: The Key to Timing

Legs

When it comes to smooth, radiant skin, consistency is key—especially when it comes to sugaring. But how often should you schedule your appointments? The answer can vary depending on a few factors, but generally, sticking to a regular schedule will provide the best results. Here’s a breakdown of why timing matters and how often you should get sugared.


Your hair grows in cycles, which means that not all of your hair grows at the same time. Sugaring works best when hair is at an optimal length, usually about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. By maintaining a regular schedule, you’ll catch the hair in its growth phase, leading to smoother skin for longer periods.


Ideal Sugaring Schedule


For Beginners: If you're new to sugaring, expect to book appointments every 3 to 4 weeks for the first few sessions. This ensures that your hair is being removed at the right time in its growth cycle and gives you a chance to see how your skin reacts. After a few sessions, you’ll notice that the hair grows back finer and more sparsely.

 

For Regulars:  Once you've been sugaring consistently, you can often extend the time between sessions to about every 4 to 6 weeks. Because the sugar paste pulls hair from the root, frequent sugaring can weaken the hair follicle over time, leading to thinner regrowth.


Why Sticking to a Schedule Matters


Long-Lasting Results: The more regular your sugaring appointments, the better your results will be. Regular sugaring leads to reduced hair growth over time. You’ll notice that the hair that does grow back is finer, lighter, and easier to remove.

 

Healthier Skin: Sugaring isn’t just about hair removal; it’s also a gentle exfoliation. Keeping up with your appointments ensures that dead skin cells are regularly removed, leaving your skin soft and glowing.

 

Prevents Ingrown Hairs: Sticking to a consistent sugaring schedule helps prevent ingrown hairs. By pulling the hair in the natural direction of growth, sugaring minimizes breakage and reduces the risk of hairs becoming trapped beneath the skin.


What Happens if You Wait Too Long?


If you let too much time pass between sugaring sessions, you may experience a few setbacks. Hair may grow back stronger if left unattended for too long, and you might need to go through a few sessions again before you see the same smooth results. Additionally, the longer you wait, the more likely you are to experience discomfort during your next sugaring session.


A Custom Schedule for Every Body


While the general guidelines above work for most, everyone’s hair growth cycle is unique. Your sugaring specialist at SUGAR ME can help you customize a schedule that works for your hair type, growth rate, and skin sensitivity. We’ll work with you to ensure your skin stays smooth, radiant, and healthy—without the soreness or rawness that often comes with other hair removal methods.
