[00] WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU MAKE DIY SUGAR WAX!

hey guys so I different been a bit of a different it did a different a bit you know what let's try that again so a bit of a different video today but hold on a second so I'm coming to you from the only part of my studio that isn't messy right now okay I like kiss I've enjoyed you guys I'm moving in a few weeks I just wanted to quickly go over a few things about the sugar that are imperative that you know but need their own kind of dedicated video basically there are four different

types of sugar wax there's soft paste firm paste heart paste and stir sugar but the recipe isn't different amongst them meaning that all of the recipes are the same none of them are any different however what makes the sugar paste different is the magic that happens when you cook them if I think in the sugar what were actually doing is just burning off or evaporating of the water it was important because as the water content goes lower the sugar concentration increases you're probably asking yourself why is that important it's very important this is why the

more concentrated your paste is the stickier it is so this strip sugar is going to have more water in it and that water content is going to decrease as it gets down to the hard paste which has the least amount of water so yeah your sugar should be sticky in fact it should be really sticky because this is how it works so well removing your hair because the sugar sticks to hair and it also sticks to dead skin cells however because it is water soluble it does not stick to living skin a lot of you

guys that do comment that to me a lot that your sugar is just too sticky and it's hard to manipulate it but that is one of the things that unfortunately I just cannot communicate on camera handling your sugar can be pretty messy and a little bit challenging but trust me it comes with practice now each of these sugars represent a stage in the candy making process so to make a soft wax then you must reach softball stage and this is roughly between 235 to 240 degrees Fahrenheit to make a firm wax then you want to

reach a firm ball stage which is 245 to about 250 degrees Fahrenheit and to make a hard wax of course you have to reach hardball stage which is somewhere between two hundred and fifty Fahrenheit to 260 degrees Fahrenheit however there's a but and it's a big but please keep in mind the ranges and I have provided are only a guide and that you may have to adjust them to slightly lower or higher than the number that I've provided meaning that you may have to subtract or add a few degrees because liquids boil at different temperatures

based on your altitude so for instance if you live in a high altitude you'll want to subtract two degrees Fahrenheit for every thousand feet that you live above sea level now if you don't have a thermometer then of course you can watch the video that I uploaded to last week by clicking on the I in the right hand corner of the screen and that will show you what your pace should look like and how it should feel using that method you might get anywhere from a soft to a firm pace however as you guys probably

guessed it I am making a dedicated video for each type of sugar so you will be seeing a video for strip sugar soft sugar firm sugar and hardship oh that's hard to do so anyway you're going to beginning for individual videos and also as you guys probably know I'm going to be making individual videos for different types of sugar and I'm also going to be doing it for different types of acids as well including lemon lime column on C and vinegar so if you're curious to see what all of these stages of sugar look like

right now then you can check out my foolproof sugar X video where I make at least three of those stages just keep in mind that this is only the second installment in this new series of sugar videos that I'm making and I promise I'm going to answer all of your questions so again I'll be showing you individual videos solely dedicated to specific topics rather than giving you a bunch of information in one long video that you have no idea from the title what the contents are so these are the basics of sugar wax but if

you have any additional questions like which of these would be good for you to look out for a video very soon talking about how do I know which pace to use where you use it and all that good stuff if you guys have any questions and of course leave them down in the comment section and I'll see you guys next week bye looking shiny why is there a night Aguilar I mean that I mean
