How To Get Rid Of Thick Hair After Shaving
Have you been tempted to shave that unsightly lip hair but afraid it’ll grow back thicker? It’s a common misconception that once you shave your body hair it automatically grows back thicker. While it might seem this way, there is a reason why it seems thicker
Why does my hair seem thicker after shaving?
Your hair takes years to form and grow beneath the surface of your skin. It goes through multiple stages before it makes an appearance above the skin. During one of the first stages, cells come together to make the tip of the hair that will be the first to emerge from the skin. This part of the hair has a long slender appearance. The base of the hair is much thicker than the tip in its natural state. Once that hair is shaved off at the base, it leaves you with the thickest part of the hair. Now we have a stubby little hair that now has a flat top instead of a long slender top. This is what makes us think our hair has grown in thicker
How do I get rid of stubble?
Once you have shaved once, you remove that slender tip that made your hair appear finer. Now we are left with that flat tip of the hair that makes it look and feel thicker. The only way to get rid of this is to wax. This means you have to let your hair grow out at least 1/4 of an inch (or two weeks of grow out). Removing the hair from the root makes that process start all over again. Those cells have to come together to form the hair giving back that slender tip.
What is the best at home waxing kit?
Investing in an at home waxing kit can save you a lot of money from having to make frequent stops at the salon. The average price for a full leg wax is 75$. While this maybe worth it since you have a trained professional, having to do it often can get expensive. It might be worth going at least once so you can watch exactly how they do it. The last thing you want to do is get your kit and wax wrong and just break all the hairs off instead of pulling them out by the root (been there, done that!). If you don’t want to go in for a wax before you try it yourself, make sure you watch a youtube video on the proper waxing technique.
