ASK Me From My Mailbag Since watching your video where you were using the surgi-cream for hair removal, I wanted to ask you if it would work on men too. Would the threading work on men? I am a hairdresser and I hate to shave I have condidered electrolysis but I would most definitely try either of those alternatives first. I also wanted to ask you if when you set your hair, do you have your own dryer, or do you let the hair dry naturally? I’ll probably be asking you a lot of questions. I really love your videos.
Hi Terry, Thanks for your note! I’m delighted you love my videos, I really put myself out there so that is comforting to know someone appreciates them. The threading definitely works on men’s eyebrows–I don’t know for sure about the facial hair, since it is coarser than a woman’s, but I’m sure a quick phone call would let you know that from a professional threader. As for the surgi-cream for hair removal, I see no reason it wouldn’t work, hair is hair right? I did it again this week, which was almost exactly four weeks. Since men’s hair grows so much more quickly than women’s, I would expect that to have to be done much more frequently. If your face can take it, it’s so easy! Once I left it on too long, and it burned, just like a sunburn feels, so be careful. I’d search a “Mens dipilatory” online, maybe they have something just for men. Either way, it wouldn’t hurt to at least try it. I think laser would be the best option if your hair is dark enough, even though it pricks a little bit, I understand electrolysis not only hurts like the dickens, but the hair grows back I’ve heard. Please let me know when you try it, it’s not like your hair is gonna stop growing anytime soon, so you can try several things! As for setting my hair, I do both, depending on the time factor. If I’m rushing, I do have a soft-bonnet dryer to speed set it in 20 minutes. Otherwise, once rolled, I let it set for about an hour or two, if I do have the time, misting it with water about half way through. Keep your questions coming, I welcome them. I may be posting some on my new blog, http://diannehanks.com in a new tab, “Ask Me”. Are we connected on facebook? I just posted a picture where my hair has that slight wave to it I think you’ll like. I think you can see it on my public profile there too. Warmly, Dianne |

Dear Dianne,
I recently came across your video about facial hair removal and was surprised to hear that it’s normal for women in their twenties to have facial hair.
Although I am one of those women, I feel that my case is much more extreme.
Several years ago I went to see my dermatologist about painful ingrown hairs and he recommended laser hair removal. I was told that I was an ideal candidate for the treatment because I have dark hair and it would only take 2-4 treatments. I went through three treatments, and hundreds of dollars, to have my upper lip, cheeks, and chin/neck treated. After the third treatment I saw no noticeable improvement, in fact the hair growth became worse and more noticeable in areas that were initially hair free. When I contacted the dermatologist to ask if this was normal, and to express my unhappiness, I was told that I needed to have hormone tests done to determine if there was more to my problem than just a few stray hairs. Needless to say, I never went back or heard from them again.
I did have the hormone test done and they came back normal, but I’m not convinced that it’s not a factor. I then tried electrolysis twice, which wasn’t really long enough to see any significant results (the woman who did it had been diagnosed with cancer and needed to take time off for treatment).
Now, I am back at square one. The laser treatments seemed to encourage the hair growth and now I tweeze everyday (I know it’s not good), which has led to courser hair and very painful ingrown hairs as well as scars and sores.
I’m a well educated young woman who works with children and the public and this issue has made me more self-conscious and obsessed about my facial hair.
Although I feel that I do a pretty good job of making it less noticeable, I know people can still see it.
My next attempt at fixing this problem will be to see a reproductive endocrinologist because I believe that it’s a hormone imbalance.
Again, thanks for the video. Now I don’t feel like I’m the only twenty-something woman with facial hair.
Thanks for listening to my story.
