Shaving hair problems?

Question

When i shave my legs, they always grow back after one day! Alot of people i know, their hair grows back after a few days, even a week!. Is it just my body type or is there some way to make sure they dont grow back as fast? I know about waxing and ive tryed it but are there any other ways?

Answer 1

Despite what some people will probably tell you there is nothing that you can do about this. People's hair grows at different speeds and yours probably just grows slightly faster. If you have dark hair this could be another cause because dark hair is usually thicker and more noticeable from the moment it grows. (Another myth is that shaving will make hair thicker and darker, again it's not true)

Personally I do have dark hair that grows faster than I would like it to so I can't shave unless I feel like doing it every second day and even then I get rash from it and my skin is so pale you can see the hair under the skin anyway!

Some people find that creams work better. It won't actually make your hair grow back slower but it won't be as 'sharp' when it does so it'll be less noticeable. However, if you have dark, thicker hair (like me) it won't be as close to begin with and is just a waste of time. The only way to find out is to use it.

Personally I choose to epilate because I can't bring myself to grow the hair on my legs long enough to wax it. It's painful to begin with but after two or three treatments (a treatment every 4 weeks or so) you won't notice the pain any more than with waxing. Emjoy have a great range that you can use when the hairs are still very short. And like waxing hair will begin to grow back finer and more slowly over time.

Then there's pulsed light treatments (permanent hair reduction) which are my favorite but it's more expensive so something to consider later on.

Answer 2

umm well if your referring to stubble then thats completely normal. But if its like long hair then thats not normal. Just go to a spa and get a wax.

Answer 3

i like using Veet. ( the one in the pink or blue CAN) not the one that yu use in the shower. it doesnt work as well. hope this helps :)

Answer 4

don't worry my hair feels prickly after just one day. i think it depends on genetics if or if not your hair grows back fast. such as some guys loose there hair early while other don't.

waxing makes your hair thinner and less noticable

shaving makes you hair thicker and more noticable
