I'm not crazy about mine. I get mine threaded off at the same time when I have my eyebrows and upper lip cleaned up.
 
I dont have any, but i like them. I wish i had some :look: When i was little i use to gel alittle bit of hair in that area down to make it look like i had some :ohwell::lachen:
 
I put Nair them once thinking I was making things better. By the end of the night I had a rash. Unfortunately that was the same day I decided to Nair my lip too... So I had a rash that was shaped like a mustache and beard combo... that lasted for days.. then weeks... then months. I don't remember when it went away, but my acne has been terrible there since.

So I put Benzoyl Peroxide on it. Big mistake #2.

And now my sideburns are blonde. This would be OK if I was white, but I'm pretty dark, so here I am walking around looking like Storm from X-Men. Some white guy had the nerve to ask if I had dyed my hair black cause my blonde roots were coming out. That foo.

I figure I will stop all peroxide and/or Nair and just let it be. I have accepted the fact that I have some fine hairs around my mouth and sideburns down my cheek. Long story short, some things are better left alone, besides, no one knew I had facial hair until I had to explain to them why my face got messed up. Not to mention that clean cut straight across look on sideburns is not cute on gurls...

LMAO at the story :lachen::lachen::lachen:
(and i dont think its cute it all either)

I wonder why Nair did that to your face though....you must have used the regular strength for legs and arms. ---I think that one is as strong as a relaxer.
 
I don't have any, but I never thought a thing about it when I saw other women sportin' theirs.

I'm sorry but your post has me cracking up.

I used to have sideburns Ashanti/Scrooge style-imagine walking around like that in junior high.:nono:
I shaved them bad boys down and never let them get that way again.
 
Hi my name is "thegirltolove" and I am a sideburn haver.:lachen:

I used to have a big issue with them, but then I was like "Forget It!"

They make me unique and I don't get any less compliments because of them.:grin:
 
I think they're beautiful-on other people. I would not look right with them:perplexed

My cousin has (or she had) beautiful sideburns. Straight/wavy 2b extensions of the hair on her head. They fit her face and profile. I'd just look like an alien or something.....also i think that if you have sideburns naturally, they fit. I've never seen a person with sideburns look unattractive; however I'm sure that the people who have them wish they didn't---just like everything else in life:drunk:
 
I thought about this thread when I was reading mediatakeout. They are making fun of Garceille Beauvois (sp?) (Fancy from Jaime Fox) and her sideburns.
 
No, I used the face one.

Its just that it burns the heck out of my face like perm burns my scalp. 2 minutes into it I was dancing and reachin for the towel. They have a sensitive one, and I use it sometimes, but thats for like half the alotted time and I'm extra careful--- I base my face like I'm getting a perm, no joke :perplexed

I have bad sideburns well not that I want to shave them or wax them and i might get tired of waxing and shaving them so then they going to grow back thick..I guess im stuck with my sideburns..If people dosent like them oh hell with them.
 
I have sideburns, they lay down and are baby hair soft. My stylist does not have to relax them, I just leave them be; I really don't care what people think of them because I am learning to be happy with me so they don't bother me like they us too.:yep:
 
I got sideburns :lol:

and whenever I used to go to the hairdresser they would want to cut them ..

No thanks!!!

I mean I dont look like Barry White or anything, but I get ingrown hairs way too much to be ripping hair out of my face LOL
 
I remember this thread! Too funny--when I originally commented, I was 8 months pregnant with my son, and my sideburns had gone crazy (pregnancy hormones). DH thought they were hilarious. The first time I tried to get them under control with Nair, I kind of screwed up and wound up with Elvis-like muttonchops. (Oh, how DH laughed.) Anyway, they largely faded away a few months after my son was born.

Now I'm 6 months pregnant, and the 'burns are BACK with a vengeance. You know what, I'm about to break out that Nair I've been saving for this occasion and get to work . . .
 
I hate my sideburns! I have a serious complex about them. I was called Elvis as a child:( I think shaving makes them worse so I just am sure to have enough hair to hide them.
 
I am hairy I have a unibrow hair arms and sideburns that you could make a coat out of

My Banda Andaz (Threading and Waxing) lady is right under 911 on my fridge and in my speed dial
 
cracking up on the skirt with hairy legs comparison.

I have sideburns like that too, they curl up, don't matter how straight I relax them they curl right back up, for me it's beastly, but i'm a hairy mess anyways, who cares what folks say some of us are hairy and cant change that, I know i'm about to also start lining up my neck because there's too much hair there too.

you are not alone op I feel your pain.
 
the bold part is hilarious! :lachen: :lachen: :lachen: :lachen: :lachen:
I need a threading person. If I were a celeb they would stay zooming in on my hair all over, hair in the skin too so there isn't much to do about that :perplexed :nono:

I rarely notice sideburns on women, and when I do, I don't think anything of it, then again those who wears it feels it. At least it's NOT a thick mustache or a beard or a goatee. Your could style your hair to cover it, 'donno', just a thought.
 
i have slight girlburns .. if I had sideburns like Ashanti's I would snip them off .. it looks very masculine and animal like ... like a wolf or something
