Why is DIY sugar wax better than shaving?
It is a much better method for hair removal as compared to shaving, because the latter could lead to ingrown hairs in coarser hair types and hair grows back quickly. On the other hand, sugar wax pulls the hair from the root, so the results last longer.

If it's not hard enough and doesn't adhere to the hair, you're undercooking it. The only solution for that is to cook it longer. You can try to get it to the right consistency by putting it back in the pot on the burner and heating it for another few minutes.
If the wax is not pulling out hair, the main factor is usually a lack of pressure. If you do not apply enough pressure, the hairs cannot fully adhere to the wax strip. Learning how to apply wax to the skin with the appropriate amount of pressure usually eliminates the problem of the wax not pulling out hair.
The reason you use lemon juice in this mix is to keep the sugar soft and it acts as a preservative. I've heard you can use most acids from lime/orange/vinegar, but lemon juice is the standard. If you decide to go for vinegar, use half the amount, 2 tbsp, since it will be more acidic than lemon juice.
Can Sugar Wax be used for sensitive areas like bikini and underarms? Yes. Sugaring is made for sensitive areas. It's so gentle on the skin that it's gotten a reputation as the BEST method of hair removal for sensitive skin and sensitive areas.
About a week before your appointment, give your skin some extra love using an exfoliating scrub or mitt to remove all the dead skin cells and clear out build-up from hair follicles. This will ensure that no pesky debris gets mixed in with the sugar paste during your session and leave you with smoother results.
