Question about facial hair.

I have some thin and unwanted hair on my cheeks. Now, I don't want to shave it because I know it'll grow thicker, and plucking hurts. Now, my question-- if I use nair cream -- made specifically for the face -- will the hair get thicker?

It's not much of a big deal, I could live with it. I'm just exploring my options. Thankies.

Shaving doesn't make it grow in thicker, it only creates the illusion that it grows in thicker. Go find yourself a cheap electric razor and (depending on how sensitive your skin is) some aftershave.

My advice:

Just shave it. harashawn

haha its kinda funny all the guys suggest shaving and I bust out with bleaching :PSajedene

women and their crazy ideas for men. jk:P

The idea that shaving hair makes it grow back thicker is an urban legend with no evidence to back it up. Just shave it.GabuEx

Are you male or female?

If you're the latter, just wax. But if male... for the love of god, just shave. At your age you probably won't even have to do so every morning.

Well, I'm growing a full beard sans mustache, so I can't be of assistance. :PJustPlainLucas

Heheh, that would be funny. But I don't think that will happen. If it comes to that, wax it. It'll grow back less coarse/thick.

just shave.

its kind of therapeutic

Technically, your hair does not get thicker when you shave it off. Its just an old wives tail. The extra thickness is just an illusion. My advice is to just shave. GTA_dude

it may be an illusion, and technically it is not thicker, but it definately looks thicker.

I've been shaving for the past 5 years, and I've never really thought it looked thicker afterwards.....GTA_dude

If you have the money, get it lasered off.

I usually shave mine and also pluck it along with the unwanted thin hairs that grows on my cheek.
