OK, I'm 22 and have a no-hair baby face. People said that shaving will make it grows more, but it hasn't work for me and i'm starting to think that it's just a myth. Also, I've heard aloe vera helps also, anyone has any comments on that? What about Rogaine, is there a growing facial hair verson of that also or is it just for head hair. TIA.

No, shaving will neither make your hair grow back thicker nor darker, nor grow any faster Shaving will not increase the diameter of your current hair follicles or grow back hair that you have lost as these factors are determined by genetics.
Don't worry about not having much hair to shave. I have a thick full beard and I always look like I am in need of a shave. The only thing good about it is I can grow a killer goatee.

If this was the case, people would be shaving off all of the hair that they wanted to grow back fuller!!! You cannot force hair to grow back by shaving it!!! No matter where it is! Rogaine helps you keep the hair that you have, mostly on your head! When used properly. It grows very fine hairs, on the head, it has not been used for facial hair! You either have them or you don't. Facial hairs are stronger than those of the scalp, if you don't have them by now, chances are, you won't have them ever.

"Body hair grows in a cycle and each hair has a lifespan. It grows as long as it’s going to and then stops, but doesn’t fall out. What makes it fall out is the new hair that’s growing in behind it. Much like a tree, a new hair grows in with a tapered end. It’s fine and pointed at the top and gradually gets thicker at the bottom like at the base of a tree. Shaving is much like cutting a tree; it leaves a blunt stump and removes the tapered end. This way when the hairs grow longer, they all appear to be growing in thicker and coarser, when in fact it’s just that all the tapered ends are gone. The hairs all have to go through their lifecycle and fall out before new tapered hairs come back. This said, hair does experience change over time due to age and hormones, so if you shave your face and wait for the cycle to being again, the hair might change and get thicker anyway. In short, shaving doesn’t affect how your hair grows."

it really is a complete delusion. Shaving would not reason actual replace to the follicles - imagine human beings. All you're doing is shaving the air, not replacing the follicles in any respect, so the hair received't come decrease back any thicker or any superior than your organic hair advance cost. the basically reason apparently thicker is because the shaved hair because the information blunt and gives you the phantasm of more desirable follicle cost - yet in truth that's only a trick of the interest. Technically, you may shave both way. If it appears like your razor is pull the hairs truly than reducing them, you're probable urgent too complicated going the incorrect way, so then you truly might want to swap round your razor. That tugging feeling on the razor ability the follicles are angled otherwise and with the route of stroke will basically reason the hair to break and create inflammation on the floor truly than a sparkling shave. that's specially for the legs and pubic area. for your armpits, you may in many circumstances shave any route.

Myth. As an experiment with a woman who claimed that hair grows in thicker we decided that i would shave my arms and see if it would grow back thicker....we took pictures before and after and surprise, it grew in just as slowly and grew in precisely the same amount...This experiment was done 2 months ago.
And hair is hair..rogaine on the face or anywhere else will stimulate hair.
The growth of your hair is dependent on genetics and time..It will come, believe me...just give it time..Untli then, there is nothing you can do but wait. Its funny because my hairy face started coming in when i became 22 but it took till i was 24 before i could grow a go-tee normally..

Shaving doesn't make it grow more. It just makes the hairs you have more coarse.
Some guys just don't have a lot of hair follicles on their heads. There's not really anything you can do about it.
Keep it clean-shaven, and you'll just look extremely well-groomed. I bet there are lots of guys who wish they didn't have to shave.

It is a Myth, but it is also something that can be true for some and not others. One day you will be grateful for the times you did not have to shave!!!

Fact! shaving will scrape the top layer of skin each time, opening more hair folicles....now if only that theory worked when you were going bald.

Shaving will make your beard more coarse but will not make you grow anymore whiskers.
You could talk to your Dr. about hormone therapy. some testosterone may have you bearded in no time!
