Waxing head

<< < (2/5) > >>

I have heard of guys doing this but had always understood that it was difficult and painful since head hair is so thick.  Typically, the hair on the sides and back remain thick even we we loose the top.  Have you noticed thinning on your sides and back of the head?

Please keep us posted on how this goes with repeated waxing.  I would be interested to know how often you will need to have it waxed, and how much you have to shave in between.

I am not sure that I?m gonna keep doing it for several reasons:
1.  It is very expensive he charges 175 bucks to do the head
2.  It will grow back and you have to let it grow back all the way to a quarter of an inch before it?s long enough for him to be able to wax it again and I don?t think I want to let my stubbly head grow out that long I will miss my smooth clean shave
3.  Even after doing many times it will never be perfectly 100% here free like laser would be

No more wintertime flattops?

My flat tops are in the summer now not in the winter because I live in Florida in the winter and I?ve never been able to find anybody down there who?s been able to do a flat top on the baby fine hair without screwing it up so I always start out right around Christmas time or New Year?s Day with a freshly shaved head and then don?t go this laptop back again if at all until summertime when I am back in Chicago.

There is one guy in Chicago who is able to do my flat tops of the baby fine here but it cost me between Haircut and tip and parking about $55-$60 and that?s twice a month and that?s very expensive to keep the Flattop!  Add to that the fact that my hair has gotten so baby find the cell color list that I need to put some gray reduction shampoo into it every week and it?s a real pain in the ass to take care of my Flattop.

I am however starting a new part-time job in about two weeks as a barber at the VA barbershop at the VA hospital in St. Petersburg Florida I?ll be able to get free haircuts from the other guy who works there but he doesn?t know how to do flat tops and doesn?t even want to try doing them!

I think my flattop days are over. The last couple times I grew my hair, it was so baby fine it looked terrible. Also a little receding in the front corners ruins the front for a flattop. Makes it easy to realize completely bald is probably my best look!
