Shaving

Shaving represents a fast and inexpensive method of facial hair removal with minimal side effects. Although there is no evidence to suggest that shaving influences the density of the hair, there is a common perception that hair regrowth after shaving is thicker [7]. This perception may be the result of the blunt ends that are produced by shaving. Irritation and razor bumps, as well as nicks and cuts can also arise from shaving. While this method of facial hair removal is quick and convenient, its duration is only a day or two and, moreover, there is a strong association of shaving the face and loss of femininity.
