    this is true. and it grows back in sticking straight up and is never the same texture of hair again.

    I only know this because I am a licensed cosmetologist, and they actually touched on this top in cosmo school and how awful it is to do :)

    False. You just shave it off at an angle so it gives the appearance that it's thicker.

    I thought it was a little odd... just thought it was something new..... It would be an awkward site for me to walk in one day and my SO is using the Gillette with gel on her face going to town. LOL!!!

    It's actually a really great exfoliation. I also have friends who swear by it - and by how soft and beautiful their skin is, it works.

    I don't think it's bad. I've done it on occasion. The trick is to brush the razor over lightly, and not to press down hard. But the Olay depilatory cream works just as nice

    I've never had a reason to. I've barely got any hair as it is. But I can see why it would work. Let people shave where they want in my opinion!

    From what I can tell, the article is not about shaving your face. It's about "dermaplaning." Which sounds more like exfoliation than something specifically for hair removal.

    Also, shaving your face (or any other place) will NOT cause hair to grow back thicker. It's literally impossible since you are not changing the way it grows out of the follicle below the surface of the skin. It just feels coarser because the end is blunted. That's just common sense, folks.

    I agree! My mother is an estheticin and told me that taking a dry razor to the face (gently) is very similar to derma planing....not so much for hair removal (but that is a side effect), but to exfoliate dead skin. I have tried in a small area, and it actually works and my skin is softer and smoother.

    Hair can only grow back in as thick as the follicle allowed for in the first place. WTF school did you attend?

    Yes they do! In theory, it makes your face smoother while getting rid off hair. It also gets rid off death cells.
    I never wanted to test this theory. I will keep whatever fuzz I have on face since I don't want it looking like my SO!!

    Thank you! I've been a LICENSED cosmetologist for 15 years, and what you said is true. No need to get further into it. :)

    You can get tools for home dermaplaning at Sally's. Dermaplaning is just fancy face shaving by a dermatologist or licensed cosmetologist.

    Folks, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor shaved their faces, as do many models. For some advertisements, it is mandatory.

    I promise you, you won't look like a dude if you dermaplane your face, people pay big bucks for it :wink: I've had microdermabrasion, and it felt the same (afterwards...like a light sunburn). Make sure you use some nice product on your face afterwards!

    Gosh, I think I'm falling for you :P

    I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that no one else read the article.

    I love how many judgemental women there are who are like "ew that's gross I'm not a big ol' man woman thing!"

    Seriously...if a girl grows facial hair she grows facial hair...it's genetic and out of their control. What IS in their control however is shaving/nairing/waxing that sh**.

    No, shaving it is NOT going to make it grow back quicker. Despite what the person above who went to costmetology school says that's an absolute myth. Shaving does nothing more than shave off the layers that are above the surface of the skin. It does not alter your genetics and therefore will not alter the amount that grows back. If it did I'd look like cousin it. Just sayin'.

    .How does that make you a he woman? People have peach fuzz..I have peach fuzz..but I get rid of it. It is like calling a guy a girl because he has perfect fingernails. -_-... To the girl in the American Bikini.

    maybe "thicker" was not the right terminology used in the original post from I forget who. but it can and does change the texture.. you can start with "peach fuzz" type hair and shaving it you rick a possibility of growing back more of a "sandy" and "rougher" texture if you will.

    No need to get snooty.. Pretty sure I went to a very accredited school, and have been doing this for 8 years.. yes, i know you have been in the industry longer... but I pride myself in this industry. and I am pretty sure Paul Mitchell is a very reputable school.
