Stir the mixture with a spoon, making sure the sugar crystals dissolve.
Be careful to not let it burn. You are seeking a syrup-like consistency, not a burnt one.
Watch as the mixture turns a darker brown, turn off the heat, and let theforming wax cool for a couple of minutes.
Apply where desired and pull in the opposite direction of hair growth.
