I also would like that information Adonia, if that's possible. I'm a college student in the New York area too, and I'm looking for a cheap practictioner. Thanks.

I was always told that saving makes it come in thicker?

I am in Chicago and need a place to go for a consultation...
I have hair on the sides of my face and chin area and they seem to be coming in more and more!
I have waxed, used creams, bleached, and plucked myself to death!

I just want it gone! I am willing to pay the money to feel more secure about myself if someone is looking at me.

Help me !

I apologize...
It is supposed to say SHAVING!
I was told SHAVING makes it grow in thicker

Shaving does not make hair thicker. It only makes your experience of the hair seem thicker. This illusion comes about because a "virgin" hair tapers to a soft point, and has lots of give when you brush across it. A shaved hair comes to either a blunt end, or a sharp point with a shiny spot where it was sliced by the blade. This does a few things. It makes the hair more bristley to the touch, and catches light with the same kind of sparkle seen on a "disco ball" when the sun hits the "slice point" just right. Also, since the shaft of the hair is in fact thicker than the point of a virgin hair, it does seem to be thicker if allowed to grow to stubble, because it doesn't taper off at the ends anymore.

Rest assured, however, shaving is perfectly safe. No one grows thicker, deeper, or even more plentiful hair from simply shaving.
