It has come to my attention that my napeline has some patches that are an inch or so below the rest of my nape.
This doesn't seem to make any difference to braids or ordinary buns or leaving my hair down.
However, when I pin curl or roll my hair or use any type of structured hairdo that starts with a ponytail pulled inside out, those hairs are pulled and it hurts like the dickens. I can usually manage to adjust things so those hairs aren't constantly being pulled, but turning my head will pull on them again.
This is interfering with my ability to do my favorite hairdos, making it an increasingly big deal.
I've thought about having the area shaved or waxed to shape a napeline I want, but then I would have to have somebody continue to shave or wax it and I'm concerned it would look untidy when I wear my hair up. I'm also not wildly excited about a recurring grooming charge. I like that my long hair is cheap.
I've also thought about trimming those areas to just a couple inches long and shaping small nape curls. Again, though, I'm concerned about that looking untidy with anything other than a casual hairdo. I certainly don't want to have to be pinning up and spraying up errant hairs when I want a sleek do, which is most of the time.
I suppose this wouldn't be such a problem if I had a regular relationship with a salon, but I don't. I'm thinking the waxing should be on the order of a waxing charge for eyebrows.
So, anybody here wax your nape? How well does it work for you? How often do you have to have it done? What does it cost?
Any ideas on what electrolysis would cost? How long would it take to get the results I want? Does it really work well?
I'd like to get some input here before picking up the phone and making some calls.
