Today, I had to teach my younger brother to shave with a regular disposable razor because our dad uses an electric one and I'm the only other person in the family with enough facial hair to know how to use a razor. I probably would have been proud if I wasn't a girl. FML

I know this has nothing to with your comment, I must give you props for your picture being mayday parade :)

OP, you should wax, the hair grows back finer and slower.xx

Waxing your face is not a brilliant idea, IPL is the to go

Not really. It looks that way since you shave it to the thick part of the hair so it looks thicker. I agree with the waxing though. It does grow back slower and when it grows all back it's smooth. It'll hurt like a bitch though.

Yeahbut with waxing you have to let it grow out until its long enough to wax! As a brunette with naturally thick hair, I'd advise against it

(to #53) This... this is what my stylist told me when I asked her about it. She suggested a depilatory cream, but once again, you have to let the hair grow out long enough for it to have any effect. I just shave and don't worry about it.

Actually, yes really. I've been waxing for years - not my face admittedly but in all areas that I have waxed, the hair grows back slower and finer.... it's because the hair grows back from the root and as such is a new strand of hair. while the hair is growing back through you could use a bleaching agent on it to lighten it until it's time to wax again. There is laser hair removal but I am lead to believe this can be expensive...don't quote me though - as it's not something I have researched myself. xx

Don't shave! Bleach or wax, that way you won't get a stubble.

I also heard that these things can happen due to a hormonal imbalance. If OP sees a Dr she might not have to do either!

Or she could do both so that it starts to grow back less and less and bleach it while she waiting for it to grow long enough to wax! Also if it is a hormone imbalance it could be serious so OP I'd suggest you check that out...

It could be hormonal, and reversible with something as simple as the pill (although it takes time to have the effect). Go talk to your doctor.

In the meantime OP could wax the hair off? The smoothness lasts a lot longer and hair doesn't grow back as fast than shaving. I hope everything gets better OP!

I'm sure there are other girls who know know you feel. xD

Pretty sure shaving makes the hair grow back thicker and darker - so don't! Pluck stray ones or if it's that bad, wax.

It doesn't grow back thicker or darker, it just looks thicker because it's blunt

don't be mean we all get our eye brows waxed why can't we get our whole face waxed :/

You have peach fuzz for a reason waxing it off will allow more oil to sit on your face and produce pimples.

Anyone else noticed the auto-correct fail?

Yep. OP said "know know" instead of "know how"

When are you going to show your little brother the way you scratch your balls? The kid needs to learn all of these manly rituals.

There's nothing wrong with a manly girl.

Yes, there is. It's called a hormone imbalance. The better way to comfort the OP is by saying "nobody's perfect."
