peronella, and anyone else who has an ideas on this:
I don't have any suggestions since I rarely wear makeup, but I kind of have a question. Why is it better, or 'proper' to shave the beard area and not do any plucking?
Personally, I used to pluck the area every day, and I really needed to; it amazed me how fast the hair grew back--and I was under the belief that plucking/waxing done repeatedly over time will decrease hair growth. So I kept at it. Then, last year, I read a post on here that said that in the case of hormonally caused hair growth, this is not true; in fact, quite the opposite--plucking causes blood to rise to the surface of the follicle, and since the blood is what carries the hormones, it further stimulates growth!
I immediately switched to shaving (1-2x day) and haven't touched tweezers to my face since. That is, until a couple days ago I just decided to give it a shot, and I was pleasantly surprised: my face stays smooth for about 24-36 hours.
I am on BCP now, but only just started my second month.
Does plucking/waxing really make facial hair/hormonally-induced hair grow back faster or thicker, or not, or does it really just depend?
