Hey guys, I just wanted to let you all know that since I've been working in the office, I've gotten alot more Head Rubs. And now there is a girl at work who wants to WAX my head!! I reluctantly agreed, I know call me crazy, but I'm willing to give it a shot. However in order for my head to be waxed, I need to let my hair grow long enough so that the wax will have something to hang on to. So for the last week I've been letting my hair grow, I'm going to let it grow for another week or so then, I will get waxed.
I'm going to try and record it and post a video so you all can see what I am willing to go through to get a smooth dome!!
So does anyone have any advise for me??? The girl who is going to do it said that she will bring lots of wine to help numb the pain.
-
if you can get her to do it naked it may help with the pain too. ha ha

tom.....way 2 go!!! looking 4ward 2 the video. O0

You need to let it grow out enough for the wax to be able to grab the hair, but be careful not to let it grow too long. I would imagine that there would be more pain involved when the hair is longer. I would think that one week would be enough.
Good luck ... you're a braver man than I am! :o
-
Good luck, Tom. Can't wait to see the video.
-
I second Paulie's advice.
-
Razor...you really think longer hair would be more painful? The way I see it.....hair is hair....and when its pulled its pulled...hurts either way. I have given it some thought about waxing it...but I dont want to go thru the process of growing any of it back. I cant stand to let it go for 2 days let alone 2weeks...I would go nuts. Good luck in what ever you end up doing....I would do it.....if it werent for growing it out.

You can pull it out more quickly when it's shorter, so the pain shouldn't be as intense. You're right -- it's going to hurt, either way but you might as well minimize the pain if at all possible.

I think I will just grow it all out...put it in a pony tail...tie a rope around and it tie it to piano and throw it off a 10 story building...LOL

That reminds me of an old I Love Lucy episode where Ethel was telling the story of how her grandmother got rid of her grandfather's handlebar mustache in the middle of the night -- by tying it to the bedpost and yelling, "Fire!" :o

LOL

Hey Timmj, dont forget to tie your feet to the radiator or the bed post in the other room , OTHERWISE its just gonna jerk your a** out the window like a roadrunner/ coyote cartoon. If THAT doesnt work, how about tying YOUR ponytail to a real horse's tail and then anchor your feet and have a pull off to see who's tail comes out first, or winnie's stop, first. I bet THAT VIDEO would be worn out QUICK ! I always wondered when the older BALD guys said the were going to get wax'd what they meant! I never thought about the same process that women use on they're legs , OUCH ! The ol' lady has a epilady layin around if anybodys got the **** to try it ! NOT ME
-
Heck yeah Porky..there is a video somewhere on Youtube that shows a guy getting his hair waxed. I think if you can make it to Chicago this summer...Jdog I believe is wanting to give it a go. Im sure that would make a good video too. LOL

A few people here do use the epilady on their heads and there are whole sites out there devoted to the topic. Really!

Razor, I ran into those, and one is a little on the strange side from my point of view--it seemed to be aimed at guys who wanted to look bald w/ the fringe. There was even a devise shown to insure a uniform fringe. Too extreme for me.

I was just wondering about this earlier today and was planning to ask about it tonight. Hope it went well and wasn't too painful.

Ok guys, I'll try to post the very short video soon. But just so you know, I didn't chicken out!! She brought some of those wax strips today and applied the first one to the top of my head, rubed it in good and gave it a yank!! ................and ,,,,nothing,, it didn't take anything off at all. So then she tried one on the back of my head, gave it a yank,,,,,,,,and again,,,nothing.
It stung a little but it realy wasn't bad at all, so it looks like I'll be cracking open the trusty HeadBlade tonight to shave it all back off.
