Wax on, wax off

I got my eyebrows waxed for the first time recently. My eyebrows have always been extremely thick, and my attempts at plucking them have been sporadic, at best. It just takes way too damn long, plus it's painful and my eyes start to water. I've always just accepted my bushy brows.

But the lady who cuts my hair also waxes eyebrows, and so I finally decided to bite the bullet and have it done. I trust her, so I didn't think she would butcher my brows. The wax felt really good going on, all warm and soothing. And then she ripped the wax off.

It didn't hurt so badly, really. My brows look fabulous, so it was well worth any momentary pain. The only problem is that it's only been a little over a week since my waxing, and I'm already seeing the hairs growing back. Is this normal? I don't know. But I do know I will continue to have my eyebrows waxed, because I am so pleased with how they turned out.

I will not, however, let wax come near any other part of my body, because that's just crazy talk.
