I admit I've shaved my unibrow if it wasn't long enough to wax and I was going out. But other than that no way!
I wax almost all the hair on my body (even my arms). It just makes you feel smoother.

Don't shave your face. Wax it you won't get stubble.

I noticed that a lot of people who believe in this myth are very young girls. I don't think they're taking into consideration that you grow more hair as you get older. It has nothing to do with the fact that they shaved... it was bound to happen anyway.

the hair doesn't grow back thicker or darker, It's the blunt end of the hair your seeing and feeling. but for removing facial hair id recommend either waxing, threading or rocketing w chrome takes the hair from the root and allows it to grow back thinner.

I do it every 2 weeks. I'm ok. Hair grows back the same for me. I'd rather shave my face then have a peach fuzz.

I use the facial razor called "tinkle" it's the best. Amazon.com carries them.

I use the Oil of Olay hair removal duo on my upper lip (the one with the moisturizing protectant balm and the depilatory cream). Otherwise, if the downy fuzz along my jawline is bothering me (sad effects of being naturally ghost white with black body hair), my esthetician waxes it for me.

Thanks Jen. I also used the Olay duo for my upper lip. But it burned me last time I used it. It was my fault for leaving it on too long =\.

I never shaved my face.. I use Avon hair remover works so good on lip.. But I shaved my arms when I was a teen, then stopped as I grew older I am now 31 and still I shave time to time mostly in summer.. My hair has NEVER grown thicker or courser..

Lol why would anyone shave their face..and it does grow back thicker I've seen it happen. I suggest thread or wax that's what I do because you aren't supposed to laser your face..it won't stop hair growth but do the opposite.

I have done it once - I didn't like the feeling when it started to grow back - it felt prickly - but as far as throwing back thicker - Mine grew back exactly the same :)

Laura R.
I've done it once. I only did a tiny section of my face. I agree with Sara, it felt prickly but grew back exactly the same.

The only permanent way to get rid of the hair is electrolysis. It's a great investment but it takes lots of patients and its costly

I got a few packs of eyebrow razors from Sally's to touch up my brows and I used one on my mini-stache- it worked fine for me. The eyebrow razors can be a little sharper or duller depending on the brand, but they have really tiny razor heads and are pretty gentle to the skin. (I did knick my brow because I used a diff. brand on my brows than my stache, so be careful, some are duller than others.) I took of the stache because I didn't like the way it would show when I took a makeup picture with the flash setting on. And the hair growing back thicker and darker is a myth.

The hair growing back thicker and darker is not a myth. Shave your face if u want to and end up with a 5 o' clock shadow on your face. Lol

'Facial razors' make me laugh. It's still shaving your face. Apparently it's not true that it grows back thicker but I've literally seen it happen. Looks awful! Just do yourself a favour and wax!
