I usually thread!

Lockdown 1 was ok as my hair is lighter in summer but this time round not so much!

Advice please!

Shave every 10 days or so. Seriously easy and doesn't irritate the skin at all.

Plaiting it.
Enhancing my every expanding lockdown Obelisk-the-Gaul aesthetic 😭

I shave, I've never seen the big deal about it to be honest, it's easy enough

dazzlinghaze · 22/01/2021 19:07

I shave, I do it about once a week and it never grows in stubbly because the hair is fine.

Browser and magnifying mirror.

something2say · 22/01/2021 19:18

I cut the hairs really short with a small pair of scissors. I use my tongue to stick my lip out, use the magnifying mirror and do it all around my mouth.

Waxing gave me spots, cream hurt. This is much better.

I use the lumea and in between the jml thing. I love it.

Diverseduvet · 22/01/2021 19:24

Same as Pinky. Not complicated at all. I use it everyday to catch the hair in all parts of the growth cycle. All you do is hold the handles, roll over face and rotate handles.Will catch the tiniest hairs.

Fgs. Don’t shave it.

Just buy the facial wax strips. They’re extremely easy to use, virtually painless and results last a month.

ramblingsonthego · 22/01/2021 19:48

Hollywood Browzer here as well. I cannot get it to work on my brows and they are looking horrendous, but my top lip is fab.

dementedma · 22/01/2021 19:51

the browser is great for all of your face. Gets rid of peach fuzz as well as whiskers

ivegotaheadacheneedabaguette · 22/01/2021 19:51

Hollywood browser is fantastic. Ive been using it for months and wouldn't use anything else now

What's wrong with shaving it?
Londonisburningg · 22/01/2021 20:17

@EmergencyHydrangea shaving doesn’t remove hair at the root, whereas waxing does. You’d have to shave fairly frequently and you won’t end up with the same results

EmergencyHydrangea · 22/01/2021 20:21

I shave my face every three days, I don't see that as being a problem

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 22/01/2021 20:25

I have one of those small buzzy things, like a small rotary razor. JML do one similar, but mine was from Avon a while ago. Though I still need to put tweeze the more determined ones out.

BlipBlopYourNipNop · 22/01/2021 20:30

My JML fuzzaway Grin It has a little light on it and everything.

I tweezer the stubborn chin hairs. 90's overplucking of my eyebrows means they are well behaved now and only need occasional tweezing of the odd straggler.

Rainydays200 · 22/01/2021 20:39

Philips lumea

hellolittlebaby · 22/01/2021 20:58

Another shower shaver here, I swipe over it once a morning with a razor.

pinkyboots1 · 22/01/2021 21:00

@badnews21 it's really easy once you've had a go. It's similar to tweezing but lots of hair out all at once!

Longdistance · 22/01/2021 21:05

I use Jolen until I can get someone to sort my tash out and make my face look like a tomato.

marriednotdead · 22/01/2021 21:13

I use Boots wax strips, somehow better than the Veet strips for me. Those springy things are the work of the Devil!

GreyHare · 22/01/2021 21:17

@pinkyboots1

I use one of these spring things and then go over any missed ones with tweezers. The first couple of times I used it was eye watering but the hair is finer and pulls out better now. I react to chemicals and waxs etc
I use one of these too, very easy but don't do it just before your period as it hurts so much more.

Waxing when I go my own bikini wax - which I learnt to do in March Grin
