Well, depending on what part of that body. But, I can relate to you. My side burns, chin and mustache grow literally where I used to have to wax every other day, now I decided to just start shaving, it's cheaper, I feel smoother, no pain.

Plus every where you wax on your face is so sensitive, and of you wax for 30 years, you will surely see the difference from it.

Hope this helped!

I tried shaving it 2 yrs ago but it growed back darker and faster and thicker so I stopped so now I just wax. I wish I could afford a electrolysist.

Having beard growth like a man doesn't make one a man, though -- and the fact is that our equipment "down south" means that we're very definitely female. Nowadays I'm happy to be open with DH and our kids that I've got the same sort of moustache and beard growth as a guy and there's no secret within the family about the fact that I shave with DH every morning. I'll admit I've certain features in common with men, but I don't feel like a man -- just the opposite: I'm a wife, a mother and very, very definitely a heterosexual woman.

I understand your feelings...My moustache was so embarrassing and I only recently started waxing it with Nad's. (Not the kind in a tub, they're strips.) It's actually worked quite well in keeping the hair at bay for at least a few days, and I can sometimes go 2 weeks until I feel like it just has to be done again. (I am hairy all over in general, so I feel your pain.)

There isn't a simple answer on this one and it does vary from person to person.

The methods which involve pulling the hair out by the roots (plucking, threading, waxing, mechanical epilator etc.) can have widely-different results with different women. If your hormones are (and remain) within the normal female range and the hair is fine, then these methods can be effective, removing visible hair growth for weeks at a time and eventually even weakening the growth.
Where, however, the hair growth is heavier and hormonally driven and where the hormone levels are not within the normal female range but show elevated androgens, there are problems in that the trauma of plucking the hair becomes more extreme because the hair growth is stronger, the trauma causes a rush of blood to the scene of the plucked hair, bringing with it to the site increased levels of androgen which fuels regrowth and development of other hairs in the area. In that case, it is possible that in some instances hair growth can actually be stimulated rather than reduced.
All such "mechanical" removal of hair by pulling it out have the problem that when regrowth occurs there is inevitably a significant period during which the regrowth is very obvious but not long enough to grip to remove.
There is a further problem that with repeated removal the hair root becomes distorted and the regrowth is sometimes at strange angles.

Shaving certainly isn't every woman's ideal method of hair removal when it comes to the face. However it does not increase hair growth, though the regrowth occurs quickly and the regrowth which occurs tends to be bristly simply because the cross-section of the hair where it's been cut is thicker than new growth of a hair which has never been cut. I think, however, that the main problem of removing facial hair by shaving is that it's generally thought of as a very "masculine" thing to shave one's face and shaving seems to amount to an admission that one has not just some hair on one's face, but a moustache and/or beard like a guy has. I certainly remember clearly how when I was a teenager it felt like a guilty secret that I shaved my moustache like guys did. However, I no longer feel that way within my family and the close family friends who know I shave and to me it's the most hassle-free way of dealing with the situation in which my testosterone levels are high and I'm happy with the way I am. Yes, my facial hair has certainly increased since I started shaving my moustache at 13, but it's not the shaving that caused it. The big increase came when I was about 40 when my beard started to grow in -- up until then it was just my moustache I had to shave. But I don't blame the increase on shaving my moustache from 13 to 40 -- the cause, I'm sure, was the drop in estrogen levels as I entered perimenopause.
