Is it true that your body/facial hair will get thicker and grow faster the more you shave it?

This has been bothering me for a while.


ThanksIs it true that your body/facial hair will get thicker and grow faster the more you shave it?
No; it's an old wives' tale. I think that the way it got started is that a person (male or female) usually starts to shave face or legs when they're very young. As they continue to shave, they are continuing to mature, and as a result of maturation, the hair gradually becomes coarser.





Shaving itself only affects the hair shaft; it doesn't have anything to do with the follicle, which is what determines the thickness of the hair. When hair is REALLY long (like a couple of feet on the head), the weight of the hair pulling on the follicle can slow the growth somewhat, but when it comes to leg or face hair, it's mostly just hormones doing what they do :-)Is it true that your body/facial hair will get thicker and grow faster the more you shave it?
I think that is a myth.
it certainly does. Shaving gets them thicker, much more in number and if you shave all the time you might have to shave daily as well.
yes
No. There is no question about this topic.
yes it is true
Yes it's true, try to remember back to when your leg hair was fine baby hair and then kids teased you and you shaved ... ugh ... it just get's thicker and darker!!!!!
Apparently not. I think it becomes a little more prominent though.
no! its just a myth
its true
from my beautician, no... its like shaving your head when you are bald... you wont get any more hair growing... it just seems like that... its going to be coarse because its short...when it grows in, its going to seem worse, but it isnt any different than it was before you shaved............
Yea, it's true and it stinks! don't know if your a guy or a girl but if your a girl don't believe that crapola about waxing that it takes 3 or more weeks to see hair regrowth. Really pushing it you can get two weeks out of a wax job and 3 days out of a shave!
i really think so as it sure seems like it on my legs etc





ugh

Please recommend me some cleansing or facial wash to control pimples-breakout?

I have a feeling a breakout is coming. Of course, I am using pimple-creams and such to tackle it.





I wonder what are some good cleansing or facial wash out there. Can someone give me some recommendations? I thought of buying Clearasil Ultra Cleansing Gel but I heard there are lots of bad reviews on it.Please recommend me some cleansing or facial wash to control pimples-breakout?
I would definitely suggest you try SWISS glutathione bar. Its actually a soap intended for skin lightening but it really works well against pimples and the maks they leave behind! it dries them out easily in just 2-3days! a lot of people buy it for that purpose even if they dont have to lighten their skin. check out

When ever I feel like a grease pit i turn to plain dove soap, it usually dries up the oilyness, and makes me feel a ton better.





Also do you take benzaclin? it's a great cream to tackle those ruthless pimples. It's prescription only though, if you don't have it, ask your dermatologist if they can give you samples to try.





oh and another thing, most of the face washes out there are crapp, they make me break out even more.





Good Luck!
get a towel put it over ur head while u bend over the sink like a tepee, leave the hot water running the steam will open ur pores and then use anti bacteria liquid hand soap (walmart has a bunch of it) or dove to wash them out, then use cold water to close them up. works pretty good.
Go with neutrogena man it's awesome u see the diffrence in about 3 days it really works i tried averything but this is the only one that worked go for it you'll love it

Can taking testorone at a young or older age change the way your facial structure is or make you taller?

Possibly, but it can also cause you to grow breasts.Can taking testorone at a young or older age change the way your facial structure is or make you taller?
Actually testosterone metabolizes into estrogen. So too much can cause elevated levels of estrogen in your blood stream which can lead to gynecomastia (male breasts). The way your face is, is the way it will always be. Your structure is preset because of genetics. Your height has nothing to do with testosterone, it also has to do with genetics. You grow because of HGH or human growth hormone, not because of testosterone.Can taking testorone at a young or older age change the way your facial structure is or make you taller?
not once you are older but if you take it when you are young and particularly at the beginning of puberty it will affect you greatly. some good and some bad, so I wouldn't suggest it. depending on how you are getting it in your system and what stage of development it could cause serious health problems and severe organ damage.
Dude above me that's estrogen not testosterone.





and for the asker: I don't know why don't you go to your doctor and ask him.
In the male body, testosterone is the most important sex hormone. Testosterone is responsible for development of male characteristics such as body and facial hair, muscle growth and strength, and a deep voice. Normal levels of testosterone also influence the production of sperm, promote sexual function and promote sex drive.





We now know that some men's bodies do not make enough testosterone. These men may experience uncomfortable and sometimes distressing symptoms. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) estimates that 4 to 5 million American men may suffer from low testosterone, but only 5 percent are currently treated.





As men get older, the ability to produce testosterone declines. This decrease in testosterone production is sometimes referred to as andropause or “male menopause.” If testosterone levels fall below the normal range some typical symptoms may include:





In addition to age-related low testosterone, there are certain medical conditions that can cause low testosterone. These medical conditions can begin in youth or in adulthood, and can affect testosterone levels throughout a man’s life. Some of these conditions are associated with the testicles, pituitary gland and/or hypothalamus (a part of the brain that controls many of the body’s glands). Occasionally, the problem can be genetic.





In younger men, low testosterone production may reduce the development of body and facial hair. Muscle mass and genitals may not develop normally, and younger men’s voices may fail to deepen.

What are some good and cheap facial moisturizers?

they seem to be pretty expensiveWhat are some good and cheap facial moisturizers?
If you don't really break out much, Aveeno is your best bet. It's a bit more all natural that some of the more common moisturizers out there, and it can be found at most stores such as Wal Mart, K Mart, CVS, etc.





But if your skin is more break-out prone, like mine is, definately try Cetaphil. It's Non-comedogenic (meaning it won't give you black heads or clogged pores), and ';is an elegant, non-greasy formulation that is mild, non-irritating and long lasting.'; I used it all the time when I was on acne medication and it wouldn't interfere with my face at all. It is also sold at stores such as Wal Mart, K Mart, CVS, etc.What are some good and cheap facial moisturizers?
Dove, has a great Facial Moisturizer.
I would try using Clear Pore it's a cleanser/mask. It kills blackheads and prevents breakouts causing bacteria. It's also cheap I'm talkin only 5 bucks

    Add a drop of medicinal glycerine to a little oil, mix it and rub on your face / body in the morning. After some time, wash it off. Or, still better is apply it in the night and keep it till morning. See the result just after one day. [You may mix some glycerine %26amp; oil and keep it in a small bottle for frequent use. It doesn't go bad].
    its not that cheap but AMAZING...

    You can try Nivea aqua sensation that's what I've been using for a year or so it works well, no flakes :) iv'e heard aveeno doesn't have harsh chemicals so that should work too. :) good luck if i find any more info i'll let you know :)
    I have really dry skin too, and I use Dove sensitive skin night cream. It's 8 bucks for a jar and it spreads really well so it takes like 3 months to use a jar.
    I use Clean%26amp;Clear. It's not expensive but I don't know the price.
    what's your budget?





    i use neutrogena's oil free moisturizer but it's $12 a tube.

    Do any women use Ortho Tri-Cylen as a way to stop/slow facial hair?

    My doctor recently prescribed it to me (i've been on a lower dose birth control for it) and said it would work better, but i know it's a stronger dose of birth control. Does anyone else use it as a way to stop/slow facial hair? And has it worked well? Were there any major side effects? Any suggestions or comments are appreciated!Do any women use Ortho Tri-Cylen as a way to stop/slow facial hair?
    I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen before and there were no major side effects for me. I've been on Yasmin, Yaz, and another brand... something like Alees (not sure on exact name) and they have all worked fine for me. I have never experience any increase/decrease in hair growth. My hair is very distinctive on my skin tone so I would notice if there was a change. Of course all of the side effects depends on your health status like being a smoker, etc. If anything, oral contraceptive has help stabilize my menstrual cramps. I use to get major cramps before the pills and now it is tolerable. Good luck!Do any women use Ortho Tri-Cylen as a way to stop/slow facial hair?
    birth control pills contain levels of the hormone progesterone or a combination of estrogen and progesterone. What it does is exert negative feedback, or in other words, inhibit androgens, such as testosterone that is causing your facial hair.
