Title: Sideburns
Post by: NDelible Gurl on November 09, 2010, 07:42:16 AM
I have an annoying dilemma with sideburns. They are both somewhat thick and can extend down to about chin level. That doesn't look very appealing on a woman! What suggestions do girls have here on sideburn removal? Thanks!

Both my laser tech and my electrolygist were careful to give me a woman's sideburns - removing all hair up to what is normal for a woman.  My hairdresser cut the remaining hair kind of in a point, telling me that square sideburns are too male. 

I think that until you can get laser or electrolysis, shave closely up to about the top of where your ear attachees to your head and let the hair above it grow out over the shaven space a bit so the edge doesn't look too abrupt.  It may take a few tries to get it right (like most things do :P).
