Daughter Shaving Her Sideburns

RE: Daughter Shaving Her Sideburns Post By karla (Guest Post) (11/11/2008) I shaved my sideburns when I was bout 14 and since then I had to do it all the time. I regret it, never shave them. After a while I just wore my hair down for a few months to let it grow, but then I shaved it again. Now I'm gonna go and finally get it all waxed off. I'm 21 now. So just never shave it will look awful!

I still haven't told my boyfriend I wax them because sometimes it grows it prickly the first week and I don't let him touch my face. But please don't be embarrassed, a lot of girls have it and just come clean about it if you have to, like I should. Also, don't be embarrassed to ask the wax person to wax it off because I did it and they don't judge, they just want to work and make money! Haha.. so get it waxed, don't wax yourself because there's a big chance you'll break out. The professionals use the right kind of wax that doesn't irritate the skin. DON'T BE ASHAMED!

I shave it every morning when I go to school but you can so tell, especially the green/blue complexion afterwards. I'm thinking about waxing it all off, but I hear that it doesn't make a difference. I don't have enough money for lazer treatment just yet. What else can I do? It's really embarrassing, even when I have my hair down because the wind just moves it all away from my face and everyone can see my stubbles.

Now I have to do this every morning, if I don't there's stubble. Should I wax them? From what I read that's the best thing to do. But I'm scared to go to the salon, its embarrassing to go in and ask to get your sideburns waxed if your a girl!I just don't want my boyfriend to go and feel my face one morning and I have a stubbly face. Who wants that on a girl? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Daughter Shaving Her Sideburns Post By (Guest Post) (02/03/2008) I did the same thing too and my hair came out stubbly and prickly! So I went to the closest salon and had the stubble waxed off. Trust me, the hair grows out noticably thinner- and NO STUBBLE! It just looks like natural sideburns that are a bit lighter and thinner, which means you do not have to go back to the salon.

I do regret it alot, wish I had just thinned it with cosmetic scissors. But, I am willing to put in work using makeup to even out the skin tone in that area to match the rest of my face, using little scissors, shaving lightly/regularly, so I keep stubble, wierdness, and noticableness to a minimum.

I started shaving my chin when I was 13 for some odd reason. Now, I have darker hair with stubbles. It totally ruins my confidence in dating since my skin has also obviously been payed too much attention too. It's usually bumpy and rough to the touch. It sucks. I have done electrolysis, laser, creams, plucking, waxing etc. I regret starting the shaving so very much! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Daughter Shaving Her Sideburns Post By Sideburn Help (Guest Post) (11/30/2007) Listen....for all the people who have shaved off there sideburns, its going to be okay. First off you might need to go to the doctor, because a lot of girls do have "polycystic ovary syndrome " which is fairly common....It can cause dark hair on girls faces. So go to the doctor and just get checked out for that because it cant hurt, and there are things you can do for that ! Next, if any of you are reading this and thinking about shaving your face DONT DO IT. It never grows back the way you want it to and why take a chance,? It will grow back stubbly and that's not what we girls want! To wax sideburns at a beauty salon is only usually about $15 ! It is not the most pleasant feeling in the world, but it's not bad at all, and just takes a couple minutes! The hair will naturally grow back thinner time after time, and talk to your beautician about setting up a schedule to wax your face (your hair needs to be on the right cycle in order to minimize the hair each time) Now its not a miracle worker but if you've shaved your face and its really bothering you, (or if your just tired of having hair on your face) have it waxed and you can take it from there. Girls try NEVER to bleach your hair because most of the time it just makes it more noticeable! Theres things you can do, and lots of girls have this problem, don't worry! Theres things you can do! :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Daughter Shaving Her Sideburns Post By =/ (Guest Post) (11/14/2007) im 16 and i alos have hidous sideburns. im pretty decent looking and i have a boyfirend, i guess it doesnt bother him, but deep down every time i look into the mirror i hate it. i feel i look ugly, sometimes i hate looking in the mirror. i want to do laser but i dont kno if im old enough to do it becuase some people say after the treatment you'll still grow hair becuase of my age. i wish it would just go away =/ Report Spam or Abuse RE: Daughter Shaving Her Sideburns Post By Dinah (Guest Post) (11/03/2007) I waxed my off today.

If shaving worked that way, nobody would be bald. Think about it. They would just shave their heads a few times and regrow a lustrous head of hair. You feel stubble when you shave but if you let the hair grow, it returns to its original softness. If you are worried about excess facial hair try waxing or depilatories though. They you won't get any stubble. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Daughter Shaving Her Sideburns Post By Nancy (Guest Post) (11/07/2005) Also Genny, that is what I have! Pcos.

The person is supposed to look very much female (they are described as voluptuous), but with no pubic hair. But they have no womb, and instead of ovaries, they apparently have testicles where the ovaries should be.I think they are XY (genetically male) as well. I think this is not a health concern, although obviously they cannot get pregnant. Anyway, maybe this is not you but I thought I would mention it just in case.

Haven't any of you been to a salon since you were too young to go without your mom? I have been professionally cutting hair for 20 years. For the past 10 years or so, I've routinely shaved in front of the ears on girls' and women's cuts. It's just a routine part of some haircuts. There's nothing to it, just like getting the fuzz and stray hairs taken off the nape. Contrary to the popular wife's tale, this does not make the hair grow coarser, thicker, nor darker. It is just when the hair is cut very short, it stands up with a blunt end without the weight of the rest of the hair once held it flat. I would be more concerned about your daughter cutting her own hair. Might I suggest taking her a salon for a professional haircut? The look she is trying to achieve is most likely part of an over style that requires professional skill to create, especially one that requires shaping the hair in front of the ears into "sideburns". It's an art to do so with a feminine result. I have clients with this kind of cut who come in once or twice a week between haircuts to get their napes and in front of their ears cleaned up. I do this as courtesy as do most stylists for regular clients. Again, it's a part of maintaining that kind of cut.

Our pediatrician ran blood work to rule out any hormonal issues. We just returned from a dermatologist who basically talked us out of laser (elos) treatment. The dermatologist felt we should wait until she is older. I am completely frustrated. I agree your daughter shouldn't shave. Try the cream hair removers. Sally Hanson spa formula is the best.

If so, she should be checked out by a reproductive endocrinologist. There are several disorders out there that cause excessive testosterone in women. One of them, which I have, is called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. It can be treated. Hope this helps!
