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?

It does look mighty strange.

But felt oh SO soft,

...and a little bit kinky

anniemac - is that true about people with curly hair? I get such awful ingrowing hairs and itchy bumps after bikini waxes that I don't bother any more. I mean what's the point if you look good for one week, and then like an angry, badly plucked chicken for 3?

And I have v curly hair. Oh well.

I have my eyebrows threaded every 6 weeks or so (have a little go with tweezers inbetween for any strays). I find it much more comfortable than waxing (and I get my eyelashes tinted at the same time as they are so pale). I have a standard bikini wax done regularly through spring and summer, but tend to just us the cream in the winter. I bought some fab gel when I was in America that you use after waxing/shaving/cream etc which is really soothing, and stops any itching or ingrown hairs.

yers. both

I wouldn't go so far as to say 'maintain' though.

threaded?

I ahve thought about going tot he salon for a brazillian or whatever the term is but try and imagine myself in some fo the undignified position necessary to wax the hair off and it leaves me in need of a stiff drink.

I don't think brazillians have reached the fylde coast yet, I just know thatif I asked for one the girl behind the counter woudl call me a dirty bitch who is old enough to know better and then give my ample girthage a look up and down in that " who is she kidding" kind of way that ninteen year olds with perky tits and a perma tan can do.

My fanjo seems very happy left to itself, frankly.

Threading is when they roll up a piece of thread and somehow use it to pluck the hairs out,really quickly and relatively painlessly.

It's called TendSkin, ComeOVeneer, and you can get it here, online.

It is better described here

Oh fab, thanks expat as I am running out.

Fanjo - Bikini line - myself - and only when I might actually wear a bikini (not too frequently then)

Eyebrows - both. Waxing is worth it if you have the time and money - but that's IMO because I have Norman Lamont (remember him?) brows if left to their own devices.

Do you have a Harvey Nichol's, COV? They sell it in there, too.

It's the biz, I agree!

you lot must be the mums on this thread !! ...come on own up

Nope I see a proffesional for both. Every two weeks. I wouldn't trust myself to do either.

Does TendSkin actually work? Has anyone who has problems with ingrowing hairs and bumpy skin tried it?

eyebrows get waxed probably once a year, can't be bothered to keep it up.
Fanjo - neatly maintained/trimmed triangle out the front but I like a bald undercarriage.

I get my eyebrows done about once a month, and then tend to pluck out the stray bits for about 2 weeks, giving my eyebrows two weeks to grow into caterpillars again.

As for fanjo maintenance, I wouldn't know where to start, what to do or what to use so as you can imagine, its a bit all over the place down there

eyebrows-have a go when I remeber (probably about twice a year)

fanjo-erm, never. Cant be arsed to do it myself, and can't face showing my maryjane to somebody other than DP.

I have both as nature intended.

Cant be arse/can't cope with the pain.

Do shave my pits and legs

Pluck my own eyebrows don't bother with the other.

All you folk who don't partake in mingetopiary are you just not v hairy? Cause if I left mine I would be able to plait it.....

I have no hair other than on the mons and backwards IYSWIM, none spilling outside my knickers or swimsuit. It stops about 2 cm below my caesarian scar. It growns about 1.5 2 inches before it drops out and is quite light.

I'm not possessed of an exceesivly hairy minge, and my granmother had no pubic hair at all.

I can't quite believe I have posted this to a public board. I'm blaming the wine!

Fanjo topiary is the least of my worries.

It's the rest of my minging self that need the attention
