From My Mailbag
Dear Dianne,
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.
Thank you,
Terry
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
