I know shaving makes hair grow faster but what about plucking hair?

Question

I heard plucking makes hair thicker but not faster and then sometimes i heard it makes it grow slower and not thicker UGHHHH help.

Answer 1

when you pluck hair you pull it out from the root, which makes it take longer for the hair to grow back then if you would shave it. it also makes the hair grow back less thicker than before, as with shaving the hair grows back thicker.

Answer 2

shaving does not make the hair grow back thicker. That is a myth.

It does cut it off at its base, however, which is wider than the natural tip of a hair... this gives the appearance of a thicker return.

Plucking does keep the hair away longer.

Try electrolysis or waxing.

Answer 3

nothing "makes" your hair grow slower or faster.

if you shave, then the hair is cut to the skin, and as it grows it is prickley, that's a function of how short it is (think 5 o'clock shadow and how rough it is) - then compare to a beard and how much softer it is.

If you pluck and "damage" the hair follicle, then it repairs itself by coming in thicker - if you manage to remove the entire follicle, then it won't return (that's why people get laser treatments).

If you remove it chemically, it actually dissolves the hair root - which is below the skin and why it takes longer to "come back in" because it has to work it's way to the skin surface first.

If you wax it, it also often strips below the skinline, but often takes part of the follicle with it, so it may come in softer or not at all.

Answer 4

I have been given the information on the hair ingredient a quick at the same time as in the past. Shaving does not make your hair advance lower back swifter or thicker! it rather is a fable. Neither does plucking it. It in basic terms seems that way.

Answer 5

With my experience and others I know, plucking lasts a lot longer than shaving...and the hairs that you pluck might grow back a bit darker, but it won't be nearly as thick as if you shaved because you are getting rid of the dark hair only and not peach fuzz along with it. Trust me, I would pluck even though it does hurt more.

Hi, Im a student in the field of cosmetology,

Nothing can really make your hair grow longer. Ive looked. But there are things you can do to help it.

One thing is that if you straighten or use irons on your hair, like myself, deep condition your hair ALOT! I do it two to three times a week! Even if you dont have a deep conditioner you can use regular conditioner on your hair for an hour or more, this also works nicely. My hair became really strong after this.

Vitamins help too! Take a multivitamin and a vitamin B-complex.

Do not color your hair alot! It weakens your hair causing it to snap off. If you do need to though, dont forget to condition, condition, condition!!! Dont forget bleaching! That is one of the worste things you could do!!

Cutting your hair doesnt make it grow faster!!! All that does is remove the split ends.

Massage your scalp regularly, this helps with growth!! It helps circulate blood flow in the scalp, with premotes hair growth.

Hope this information was helpful :)

Answer 7

Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods.
Waxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful.
Electrolysis and laser hair removal are "permanent" hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged.
