Here is a classic question for you:
How much hair "grooming" is appropriate for boys? There are a lot of places a boy COULD "groom". Some boys feel it is important to rid their bodies of all hair except for what is on top of their heads and just a little bit over their eyes. Others believe that men ought to be au-natural--no grooming neceseary.
This line graph represents what I think the general consenus in Provo is:
Man-hair may be likened unto a homeowner's shrubbery. The upkeep of said shrubbery reflects many aspects of the homeowner's personality. A well-kept shrubbery reveals that the homeowner is conscious of how he presents himself to his neighbors. When a homeowner neglects his front yard, he is looked down upon by his neighbors.
With that said, it is possible to over-groom. Animal-shapes and bald shrubs for example, although artistic to some, seem just plain weird to the majority.
This is the graph that represents my current opinion on the matter:
I have friend, Amanda, that cuts hair ($30 a woman-head). She came over one night and insisted that she trim my eyebrows. I occasionally pluck, but I have never trimmed. Admittedly, I had quite a few hidden "Dibbles".
Now, Amanda wants to do my nose hairs. "Five dollars for Facial Freedom," is what she called her sevices. I told her I'd think about it.
Is this a slippery slope?
Should I be worried?
Your comments would be appreciated.

You are one fine looking shrubbery, if I may say so. Loved the reference to "Dibbles." I'd say if your nose hairs are hanging below your nostril, you can and should trim them yourself . . . and save the five dollars. I thin and pluck Rick's eyebrows and occasionally trim the nose hairs. Oh, and I pluck the stray warlock hairs that grow on his earlobe. Not out of the center of the ear. Weird.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Loved the bit about the animal-shaped shrubberies too!
But I forgot to mention, if you like the hair-stylist, let her take care of you and pay her the five dollars.
ReplyDeleteI'll never forget Dibble's eyebrows. I wouldn't worry about nose hairs too much at this age. Like H said, trim them yourself. I'm glad you're willing to prune the eyebrows when necessary--very big of you.
ReplyDeleteYes- this is a slippery slope! I would trim my own eyebrows and nose hairs if I were you until you get married...then your wife would love to do that for you!
