    Expert Answer
    Electrolysis is the only permanent solution. For women, I also recommend waxing, but please avoid shaving, since the hair will grow coarser over time and the constant rubbing against clothes will increase the chances of back acne appearing.

    Can I shave neck hairs?

    Yes, you can shave neck hairs, but don't dry shave. You should try scrubbing the area with pre-shaving oil. This can help reduce irritation. Wet the area, apply the oil, and then the shaving cream.

    No, none of these methods will make hair grow back faster or thicker. This is a common myth but no hair removal technique actually causes either of these things.
