Does shaving make your hair grow back faster?
7. Waxing is Better for Sensitive Areas
That's true. According to Jacobs, "waxing is better on sensitive areas like the bikini line and underarms because it's more precise, reduces the risk of skin irritation, and is less likely to cause ingrown hairs" than shaving.

8.Curly hair is more difficult to remove safely
Yes, that's right. "Those with curly hair are more likely to develop folliculitis, a skin condition in which the follicles become inflamed, than those with straight hair," Marcus said.
Wondering why? According to the Mayo Clinic, curly hair grows from curved hair follicles, so it's that curvy shape that's most likely to encourage hair to re-penetrate the skin as it grows back. This is more common when the hair is shaved because the shaving creates a sharper edge that makes it easier to pierce the skin.9. Razor bumps are stubborn
Not like that. "For those prone to razor burn from ingrown hairs and/or folliculitis, I recommend using an exfoliating pad to help prevent ingrown hairs during the growth phase," Marcus said. "Bliss Bump Attendant is an effective product that contains several anti-pimple ingredients including glycolic acid, salicylic acid, witch hazel and anti-inflammatory oat extracts, and niacinamide." Be sure to exfoliate the area well beforehand to remove dead skin cells that cause hair to get caught under the skin.”
10. The amount of body hair you have and where is part of your personal style
Absolutely right. You do it, whether that means a hairless body or one that's all hairy.
"Some people don't like their body or facial hair and want to remove it, while others accept it," Tavernise said. "In my practice we serve those who want to wax, but when someone comes in for a facial or body treatment and doesn't want to wax, the treatments are no less effective.When it comes to bodies, it's important to respect and honor your body and the body of others."
