Will waxing or shaving facial hair make it come back darker or thicker?

I have PCOS and it gives me a little facial hair that I don't want! %26gt;%26lt; But I don't want to make it worse by waxing or shaving it, cause I am already dark haired.Will waxing or shaving facial hair make it come back darker or thicker?
I am a cosmetologist...so trust me on this..... it will not make it come back thicker or darker.





Shaving---it gives the illusion that it is thicker because it cuts the hair at an angle...... it is still the same hair size





Waxing----it doesn't make it do anything along these lines. Waxing/plucking actually over time will kill the hair bulb making it not ever grow back. By doing this, since the new hair has to grow---it has a less sharp/angled edge and appears thinner and softer because it is newWill waxing or shaving facial hair make it come back darker or thicker?
I don't know about waxing but I'm pretty sure you shouldn't shave..It'll come back thick. I know this girl i worked with and she shaved her mustache,and the results are uuugly.so don't shave it...
it will come back more britle and harsh but not darker.
Well, hmmmm. . . Zulu beat me to it. Great answer, Zulu!
no. just more ';stubbly'; and coarse.
they say so.. but some say that if you are going to apply a cream on the area it will become white again...
Yes and no, Certain people's facial hair can sometimes get so damaged with waxing, it eventually dies, or becomes thinner but with myself its gets darker and more hairs appear, BUT with shaving, hair gets thicker and darker, shaving facial hair is never ever good.
Don't shave it, try waxing. It won't grow back darker. Over time waxing will make the hairs finer. There is also a prescription cream you can get that will decrease the amount of facial hair. I can't recall the name right now but it is something like VANQUA. Ask your doctor to be sure. Hope this helped.
I don't know about waxing, but shaving definately will make it grow back darker and thicker, if you keep up the practice of shaving it alot.
you should wax it.. it won't come back darker. I do it all the time!
both
Shaving is the worst thing you could do but waxing is fine and eventually the hair won't grow back anymore.
yeh and your face wil have green patches were you shaved !!!!!!!! not nice
no.. shaving or waxing will not make it grow back darker.. the colour is determined in the pigment of the folicle.. this is why it doesn't change.. try getting it lasered.. so its permanent
well maybe try using a hair lightener instead of shaving
Waxing will make it come back finer. Shaving won't make it thicker. It appears thicker because the tips of the hair aren't fine, therefore giving you the impression that it did get thicker...not true though!
shaving will not make it come back thicker or darker. thats just a myth. the thing is, the hair is still growing when you do this. waxing is the only way to go for getting rid of facial hair!
probably both. just keep waxing it if you don't want people to see it.
shaving your face will make the hair somewhat more coarse but waxing or using nair or a nair product wont
well if you shave it will for sure make it darker but i don't really know if waxing will or not
why yes it will!! d@mn you stubble!
Waxing will not make it come back thicker. Shaving will make it come back corse. Since when you shave you cut the softer end off and leaves the base.





I've had great luck with wax strips on my upper lip. Its simple to do at home and gets rid of most hairs, plus you can tweeze any leftovers.
Try a cream remover especially for the face like Sally Hansen offers. Never use soap within a couple hours before or after using the cream and to see if the cream is ready to come off (normally just a couple minutes), take a pair of tweezers and pinch one of the hairs;if it turns to mush, take it off, if it still has some resistance, let it on a little longer. Waxing and shaving supposedly don't change the hairs, but they will feel different to you(stubbly) and you can actually eventually damage the follicle over a period of time by waxing.
NO IT WOULD ONLY MAKE YOUR HAIRS THICKER.
Yes, take it from me and my twin sister, we both have pcos, and other hormonee problems, and we shaved ours and now its bad! We tryed laser hair removal and that helped temporary. It is smooth and fine until about a year and then it gets worse and you have to start shaving. There are some meds you can take that will help stop the growth just ask your doctor,
