Do you pluck your own eyebrows and maintain your own fanjo?

[northerner]

I do, always have, but sick of looking for stray hairs every day.

Is it worth having them done professionally?

Ditto with fanjo, never had a wax. Should I?

eyebrows myself - the one time I had done professionally was no difference apart from I was £25 lighter.

fanjo me with a razor in the bath.

Yes to both.

Eyebrows don't really need much work - my nail (and beauty) lady said mine were best left alone as they are fine as they are.

Couldn't bear to go for bikini wax - far too embarrassing, so that's a chore I keep for myself.

I don't find I need to maintain my fanjo, it just looks after itself.

well yes, mine is hardly a Bear Trapper's Hat but it's just a thang we have got going. Not really maintaineance

I just like the thought of a pro whipping off my fanjo ahir and not worrying about it for weeks......

Also, do pubes turn grey?

Because no way would I ever have a grey fanjo. It would all come off then.

Eyebrows - professional wax every 6 weeks or so, maintain inbetween.

Fanjo - eitehr do myslef & suffer terrible shaving rash, or get waxed - only round the edges, tho - anything else I would need a GA for.

yes I maintain both

waxing isnt too bad

Eyebrows - threaded every few months and then maintained by me in between

Fanjo - me and occasionally DH. Would not dream of letting a stranger have a butchers

Oh and Northerner - yes, you do get grey pubes

Eyebrows I do myself.

Fanjo - had a Brazilian once, the itching was so awful that I've been au naturel ever since.

eyebrows go grey as well

Northerner, just to point out, It rarely all turns grey, you stop getting such a bushy fanjo as the years go by, I am informed by my mother.

Do you mean you SHAVED a brazilian?

Cos a waxed brazilian wouldn't itch, surely?

I want a brazilian (or even more off), but I'm really scared of the pain.

yes, both

eyebrows, obsessively, prob every other day or so

fanjo far less frequently. occasionally get a professional on the job (before hols etc) but am fortunate enough to be fairly (what's the opposite of hirsute?) down there

No, it was waxed Brazilian. When the hair started to grow back it itched like mad.

I suppose you then have to keep shaving or put up with the 'no I haven't got crabs I'm just growing into my next Brazilian'...

I do it all myself these days.

I did have everything waxed professionally for many years, all before I had children and was flush and carefree.

So I learned enough, and killed enough hair follicles, to now be able to handle it myself.

I don't get itchy when mine grows back (after waxing). Might try the extended brazilian next time, you do get used to the pain. I have a friend who has a hollywood every month, I'm sure she does it more for her dh than for herself.

I have everything waxed.

Brazilian fanjo
full leg (both of them)
eyebrows
and underarms.

had it all done yesterday. have it done every 2 months or so, more in the summer.
thinks it's brill, would never go back to shaving.

I did have my underarms done once and I couldn't do it again waaaayyyy too painful.

The underarms aren't painful!!

In fact don't notice any pain anymore. Can continue animated conversation even whilst having the 'underneath' done

The most painful part of the brazilian is when she does the top bit, I find everything else bearable but that always gets me Have you ever had the extended?

What's the extended?

I think I probably have.She does the underneath and the back.

The first time I had it done there was a communication breakdown and I had the whole lot off

had a good weekend away with DH though

Now I have a strip left. So much more 'tasteful',ha

eyebrows waxed once a month
use a snatch trimmer on the fanjo when i can be arsed

Not too sure what the extended is, the lady who does mine is polish and doesn't speak that much english. I think its when they go back further (around your bum). Never had a hollywood (all off) but I'm sure my dh wouldn't object. I agree its nicer with a stripe left on the front I would feel funny completely hairless. I'll never go back to having a regular bikini wax though.
