NinjaNeer answered Thursday March 3 2011, 8:45 am: I always wax (Italian heritage). Shaving tends to come back after a day or two, and it's kind of weird to have prickly stubble. It doesn't actually make hair grow back thicker, but because the end of the hair isn't tapered and the shaft is newly exposed and hasn't had a chance to be lightened by the sun, it will LOOK darker and thicker.
Waxing isn't fun. It's easiest if you have someone else do it, but I'm a broke student and can't be bothered to head out to a salon and pay the $10 a month, so I do it myself. You can get pre-waxed strips at just about any drug store. Make sure you follow the instructions, and brace yourself. It doesn't hurt all that much, pretty much like plucking your eyebrows or peeling off a bandage. Just count to 3 and make sure you do it in one quick motion, because slowly peeling it off is agony.

If you shave, you'll be doing it every few days and it comes back rougher and stubbly. Go for the waxing. [ julie75's advice column | Ask julie75 A Question ]
Teza answered Thursday March 3 2011, 12:57 am: Never shave any facial hair. It grows back a lot darker and thicker. Go to a salon and have them wax it, or you can buy your own waxing kit. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
