Does waxing your face grow thick hair?

I have never waxed my face, but now im thinking of doing it.


I just want to know if I wax, is there ANY chance of getting thicker hair? And also, how long (minimum days) would it last till the next time you need to wax?Does waxing your face grow thick hair?
Not at all. Contrary to popular belief neither waxing nor shaving makes the hair grow back thicker at all.





Waxing takes the hair out with the root, so when the new hair grows back in (which will take longer than with shaving because it has to grow a whole new hair in), it will look and feel like thinner hair because it is pretty much. The newly growing hair is thinner at the tip than at the root.





Shaving cuts the hair off bluntly across the hair shaft, so as the hair keeps growing it comes up out of the skin without the normal taper on the strand, it actually *looks* thicker than it did before, even though the actual piece of hair hasn't changed thickness. The results won't last as long as waxing either because it doesn't disturb the growth cycle.





So neither of them will make your hair grow back thicker, but waxing will last longer because it takes longer for the hair to grow back in (I wouldn't recommend doing it more than once a week, mainly because you have to grow some hair back for the wax to stick to. Some people do it weekly, some people can last a few weeks, it depends on how fast your hair grows. You'll know after your first wax as you see how long it takes to grow back in).





If anything, there is more of a chance you might ruin a follicle when the hair is pulled out by waxing and stop that hair from growing back! :) It doesn't happen all the time, but it can. Shaving doesn't do anything to the follicle, so nothing changes.

Waxing does not make the hair grow in thicker. For some reason, it does seem to start some kind of growth cycle. You may have to wax as often as every other week, but everyone is different. It just depends on how much hair you have. Usually someone with more hair on their arms or legs will have hair that grows faster than someone with fine baby hairs, or not much body hair. If you shave it off with a razor, that blunts the ends of the hair making it appear thicker. Waxing removes the hair follicle/bulb, so it grows back in at as a more 'pointy' hair. If you don't have much hair to wax, perhaps you could try tweezing first. You can get an idea of how fast those hairs will grow back in that way. Good Luck.
it grows faster so you would have to keep up with it. you should just use a razor. axing it would be for a week and some days. Really bad choice though
i wax my mustache (thats so funny to say) and it lasts about three weeks. no, it doesnt make it thicker. thats if you shave it off.
there are creams that takes off the hair and it will not grow thicker instead it will slowly be thinner until it's gone
No, waxing wont make it grow thicker, but shaving will.
well waxing ius wayy better than shaving waxing might hurt a little more but it helps rip out the hair?
