  • Question
    How can I get rid of hairs if I am 11 years old?

    You should probably talk to your parents first. That said, your best bet would be to wax.
  • Question
    Is using a trimmer comfortable for a 17 year old?
    Community Answer
    It depends on your stage in puberty and how much hair you have altogether. Doing some research and following a few basic steps, you can always get rid of the hair. And yes, it should be comfortable (unless the guard is too short), just go with a longer guard at first. Mind you, the after results will be a harsh stubble and an increase in hair, so be wary of this route.
  • Question
    Will my shaved chest hair grow back again?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Shaving just removes your hair temporarily. Electrolysis is the only way you can remove your chest hair permanently.
  • Question
    Does this make hair grow thicker?
    Community Answer
    Nope. Shaving or otherwise removing hair doesn't make it grow back thicker. That is nothing more than an old myth.

    How do I remove hair on my forehead?

    There are many articles available on the internet, however, you should probably talk to your doctor about this issue. If it's about ingrown or excess hairs (e.g. uni-brows), electrolysis can be a permanent solution to this.
  • Question
    After removing my chest hair with depilatory cream, will my chest hair come back again?
    Community Answer

  • Question
    Will trimming make the hair grow thicker?
    Community Answer
    No, shaving hair doesn't change its thickness, color or rate of growth.
  • Question
    After waxing, will my chest hair grow thicker?
    Community Answer
    It depends. If your chest hair coverage was never too great to begin with, you may see more hair growing than before waxing. It will also grow more often, resulting in thicker chest hair. The only optimal form of losing this is either waxing frequently or trying electrolysis/depilatories.

    How can I remove body hair permanently?

  • Question
    Are depilatories dangerous? Do they cost much? Will the hair grow thicker? And can they only be used for chest hair?
    Community Answer
    Depilatory creams are aggressive chemicals meant to destroy hair. So, yes, they are bad for you. Using them a few times won't cause much damage, but in the long run, it can cause allergies and other problems. However they can be useful.

    How can I remove chest hair permanently with an at-home method?
    Community Answer
    There is no permanent way of removing body hair at home. You could get used to using wax once every 2 or 3 weeks, depending on how often you are removing it. The only permanent way is by laser hair removal, which can't be done at home.
