When I wrote about my facial hair growth last week, I received many comments from you, so heavenly cute!
I actually think it can be hormonal thanks to your comments, will discuss it with my gynecologist on Tuesday :) It is easy to accept such a thing, because it is so common, but you know your body best yourself and it happens sudden changes, it may be worth checking out - as you say, there may be something bigger behind the problem.
The reason I bring this up again, is because some of you recommended waxing, threading or picking with tweezers. I'm not an expert either, but I did not recommend removing the straws with the root for you!
Shaving (or cutting and hair removal) does not affect the hair more than removing the narrow top. But if you pull the straws up from the roots, it can get darker and coarser over time, which you prefer to avoid on the face.
Just so you have it in the back of your mind when choosing hair removal methods :)
I leave my straws until I know more, but the long ones I have found that I absolutely do not want left I have just cut. It works great!
Hug!
