Any women out there shave their face?

Question

I mean, I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

They should have razors for women's faces too.

Above & below the lip.

Maybe by eyebrows or sideburns too.

Answer 1

Lots of women do. And they do have razors for women's faces, but you're generally better with a men's one.

Facial (and also body) hair on women comes about in the same way as on men because of

1) your body being sensitized, before you were even born, to testosterone -- doesn't happen to all girls, but does to many

2) your body producing high levels of testosterone

The growth rate and coarseness of the hair depends on just how much testosterone is circulating in your bloodstream.

Steer clear of bleaching -- when someone sees you against the light you'll look as if you have a glowing moustache and/or beard.

As far as removing it is concerned it's worth remembering that

* Waxing, plucking, threading, epilating all pull the hair out by the roots and where the growth is hormonally-driven can actually stimulate a dormant follicle into producing more hair quicker. They also distort the root if done repeatedly, leading to hair growing at strange angles. And you've got to let the hair grow to quite a length before you can repeat the exercise. It can also damage the skin and discolor it. Long-term use of waxing also causes bad wrinkles.

* Chemical depilatories strong enough to remove the hair are very likely to burn the skin, cause swelling and cause long-term discoloration of the skin.

* Laser is also liable to cause burning and discoloration and in any case only works effectively on a dark hair/light skin combinantion.

* Electrolysis is very liable to cause scarring and discoloration of the skin.

Which, like it or not, leaves shaving which does not damage the skin. Best done with a men's-style electric razor, the best of which, for women, are probably those from the men's range of Norelco razors (Philishave outside the US). Most women who try a men's Norelco wonder why nobody ever told them about it before.

Answer 2

That girl on Youtube lied. What she meant is that her 2 friends do it too, because they're all weird, and those are the only girls she knows in the world, and therefore represent all of Japan. A lot of Japanese like to speak on behalf of all Japanese, especially to foreigners. A lot also expect foreigners to speak for everyone in their country too. For example, if you're American, and you go to Japan. If someone asks about Americans, you are the authority and whatever you say applies to all Americans, but the U.S. is a completely homogenous society. Japanese women generally have less facial hair than other women around the world, so there's no need to shave. A Japanese woman's face is too sensitive for shaving anyway. If anything, someone may use a "Nair" type product, or bleach the hair so that it's still there, but almost invisible.

Shaving increases the thickness of your hair. Some say this is an old wives' tale, but I believe it's true. It's more permanent to wax or pluck. After a few times, the hair grows in lighter and softer, and pulls out much easier than before. Eventually, it stops growing in altogether. Skip the razor and check your local Ulta salon or hair salon. Many places will wax specific areas for a reasonable price.

Answer 4

I did,but the hair got more coarse so I decided to go to the beauty shop for a wax job. At first this was quite a job for the beauty operator to remove. Of course it grows out and you have to go back often to have it removed. After while the hairs bcame less and I could do the job with a trweezer. The hair became less coarse and mine got lighter. You can go to dermatologist for a permanent job, but that's expensive.

Answer 5

eeeww. Women should NOT shave their faces, they could wax it off, or get an electrolysis hair removal. When you shave any part of your body, the hairs grow coarser, and can you imagine a women with ingrown hairs on her face???? Not a pretty site. Men have that rugged look, and I think nobody would love to see that on a woman. g

Answer 6

There is nothing wrong with it, but waxing is better. Waxing will pull the hair out by the root, thus reducing any 'five o'clock shadow' if you have thick, dark hair. If the hair is sparse, but dark, you could also try bleaching.

Answer 7

I don't and hope I never have to. If you do I don't think its such a good idea it will grow back really pricky. I think waxing is a better option. I wax my own private parts its not expensive if you learn to do it yourself rather than pay someone to do it for you.

Answer 8

NO, I don't , but I have a friend who gets electrolysis done on her face to remove the hair. Bleaches are also effective.

Answer 9

Answer 10
