Removing Facial Hair

RE: Removing Facial Hair Post By (Guest Post) (10/14/2007) Do not tweeze or wax facial hair b/c it will fertilize more hair growth. Stop plucking and start shaving. I would throw the tweezers/wax away and get an appt for electrolisis or laser removal.

If it gets to expensive for a salon treatment - buy a good quality wax from a pharmacy and you can do it from home. Whatever you do don't shave - your hair will be very stubbly.

It is an ok method to use, but if you look too closely you begin to pluck hairs that could have waited a little longer to be dealt with and then they come back in coarser. My family says that I am obsessive. I have also had my face waxed, and I really think this is preferable. But you need to make sure that you are not tweezing and waxing, or you will have them coming in at different times and never having the growth under control. I understand some people do not feel like they have a choice, but, if at all possible, do not shave. It will come back in coarser each time, and after a while it will be stubbly, like a man's. My sweet little aunt did this, and always told me never to follow in her footsteps with that. When my sister began to have this problem she asked some lady friends of hers and they told her that there was a gadget or device or something that basically was like gliding a razor blade over the surface of the face in order to just get the thin hairs "trimmed", and the theory behind this was to not fool with the root of the hair at all. Don't know how much truth there is to that. Never tried it, had already been tweezing and waxing long enough that that would not work for me. Let us know what works for you, there has to be a better way!

My aunt uses it, and apparently, it works well for your problem. Good luck! imaguest Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Facial Hair Post by Persnickety Paula (389) | (01/31/2006) Profile | Contact After a car accident, I had to have plastic surgery on my upper lip twice, and the doctor shaved my lip. I know that people think it is a wive's tale that if you shave it will come back thicker and more course; but, in my case it did! I have been shaving my lip every day for the past 21 years. I tried to go to a salon and have it waxed, but found that to be way too expensive. But, you could give that a try and see how it works out for you, your hair may not grow back as fast as mine so it may not be as expensive for you to keep up with it.

Sorry I don't remember what it was but it really helped her facial hair it was very light blond but she always looked fuzzy especially with makeup then it cleared up with her meds. Good luck.
