Poetic Waxing from Bliss- though now they make a container that is microwave safe, so no more stovetop for me.

Believe me, if you think it's bad when they're dark, it is so much worse if they turn white. I have no grays on my head, but my eyebrows, chin, and neck are covered. They are even more wirey and coarse than the dark hairs. They stick straight out. I had laser treatments about seven years ago, which helped while I was on BC, but when I went off it, a thousand new hairs came and replaced them. I can't be on hormonal BC anymore, so there's nothing I can do but wax and pluck like a fiend.

I am not going to have any eyebrows left by the time I hit 45 at the rate I am going. Better sit down and have my mom show me how she draws hers on I guess!

Pulls out even the shortest of little hairs. What do you use?

I go for laser treatments -- supposed to have been "7 treatments at $110" would cure all. If you need more, you get them half price after that. Well, here I am, 10 years later at least, still going probably every 6 weeks to get laser so the "7 treatments" was a joke. But laser definitely helps. HOWEVEr I just bought myself a "No NO" (available via shopping channel and "As seen on TV" stores). It's $300 to buy, but I'm going to try it this year -- if it works, it will pay for itself in a very short time -- plus I can do other areas other than my face, like the "pits of despair"

... Ok that just made me laugh! If it helps, my hubby could do a "transplant" for you -- his are growing so bushy now I think his eyebrows are trying to reach his ear hairs. He's like a little hobbit or something (and only 44)....Shhhh... don't tell him I'm mocking him openly to millions of people. He's a little bit sensitive about the fact that his receding hairline is regrowing above his eyes!

I'm sorry, but that made me LOL! Like, literally laugh out loud. Only the pets heard me. LOL, men...

I don't need to look any farther than my own husband, and he is only 38! I am constantly chasing him around with scissors and tweezers, he thinks I am crazy. But, I was vindicated the last time he got his hair cut- the girl offered to trim his brows for him. I said "SEE! I am not the only one who can see them!"

I would be interested to see what you think about the NoNo. It gets very mixed reviews, which has kept me from puling the trigger on it.

I am actually excited this week. My TOM last week was the most "normal" one I have had for years... It's actually helping loosing this weight. Who would have thunk it .... my DR was actually correct.
