Your hair follicle produces the hair. unless something is treating the follicle, it aint changing the structure of the hair growin out of it. the hair may seem softer after bein waxed but thats becuz when you shave, a blunt tip grows out, and when you wax it is the smooth tapered tip. it aint no different hair its exactly the same as the shit that was there. the appearance, is enough results for them to say shit like that when its just a myth that will keep u coming back. unless it treats the follicle the hair aint gonna be no different,same as how your nail matrix produces the cells thatmake the nails grow so as long as the matrix is healthy your nails eventually grow healthy. just a heads up.

yea, i asked her the same question and she explained how/why shaving creates this course feeling while waxing will create a softer feeling to the hair. i'm mostly just sick of having to shave every 1-2 days to keep the hair off my body, at least with waxing it stays smoother longer and the hair doesn't grow back as quickly (at least from what i'm noticing).
 
My waxer also tweezes a few of the strays, both bikini line and eyebrow.

I don't wax anywhere else. I shave my legs with a Venus razor and Kiehl's shaving cream about every 2-3 days, and my underarms in the shower every other day with the same. The only place I can truly not stand to have hair would be my underarms.

A tip for post-waxing: witch hazel! Don't get any on the inner labia/genitalia, but around the area will be soothing and acts as an exfoliant so that ingrown hairs are less likely.

I really don't mind the pain of a Brazilian - it's kind of an adrenaline rush. ;) I am a little looney like that. ;)
 
Man if I can stand threading on my eyebrows and upper lips (and I even LIKE it) I guess the pain of a Brazillian will be right up my ally...what ya girls think?
 
Brazillian is whole other level of pain :( haha

But IMO it gets less painful overtime, same with eybrows/lips/underarms... now when I go get waxes I don't even really cringe. The girl I go told me overtime you become less sensitive and grow less hair if you go regularly.

However, my ass is broke so I haven't been getting any Brazillian or leg waxes, but whatever, there's nobody important to impress right now! haha
 
If you want to stoop as low as 1/3 of the price you've been paying, I would recommend Maybelline Full 'N' Soft mascara. I've been using it for years and have absolutely no complaints :)
 
Ooh stop press! Strawberrynet had Diorshow waterproof on special! I picked it up for AU$36.96, including my discount as a repeat shopper [4%] + free registered post. Whee! :D

I'm sorted!
 
I use MAC Pro Long Lash. $12. I love it, no clumps and it makes your lashes super long and thick. They have a bunch of different kinds you can order off their website, all them same price (except might be 12.50, I think).

My mum uses Chanel and honestly I prefer to use my MAC even when I could easily slip into her bathroom and use her make up without her noticing ;). My bff (who is friend/works with a lot of make up artists) has always told me not to waste money on mascara. There's definitely a huge difference in quality between most products depending on if they're high end or low end, but mascara isn't one of them. He says half the professionals he's worked with use Maybelline.. and whenever I read magazines talking about what products to splurge on what to go cheap on, mascara is always in the latter.
 
^Oh that's interesting, thanks for the tips mia and ocean! I'll keep this in mind next time I have to purchase. I was looking at MAC's latest mascara when I originally wrote the post, but decided to go with tried and true in the end. ;)

Next time gadgets!
 
Have you guys heard about that new product that your dr can script you to make your lashes grow. I was like no way, vain vain as fuck. That is insane, seriously get over yourself.

However the radiologist at my mom's work made a good point, hair always serves a purpose. Eye lashes keep stuff out of your eyes. If you have that problem or perhaps lost them to chemo it might not be such a bad thing.

But we don't need another damn jump into the botox like scripted beauty shit. We are supposed to be working on curing cancer and AIDS here!
 
You really think we need to get up in arms about a product to make you lashes grow longer when people are paying $10,000 for someone to shove silicone into their breasts and vaccum fat out of their bodies? :\
 
Oh it was just one more thing ya know...I want a boob job as much as the next small chested chick, but EYE LASHES...jeez now thats getting down to the nitty gritty there.
 
There's a mascara that makes you eye lashes SMELL better... I think that is ridiculous. The fuck do I need my eye lashes to smell good for? When did someone smelling my eyes become a part of forplay?

I have tiny breasts (AA) but I would never get a boob job, IMO just don't think it look very attractive.
