Peachy fuzz

It's driving me crazy. I don't want the hassle of those creams that stink and plucking takes ages and hurts a little. Anyway, apparently more women are turning to the razor but I am a little apprehensive.. only because I don't want the fuzz to come back as little black dots and me looking like Desperate Dan! Any ladies out there shave? This site has some decent feedback I am just a little scared... http://thestir.cafemom.com/beauty_style/115262/shaving_face_even_the_stars?next=21

    No! Don't do that. Go and get threaded, it hurts a tiny bit but it lasts ages.

    Threaded? Hmm.. off to google! Well apparently a lot of models shave when they're modelling fo rmake up etc.. it's tempting as they've all said the results are great. Oh I am confused.

    Dermaplaning is pretty much the same thing, shaving with a scalpel. I follow a few women who do this, they say the regrowth is normal 'peach' hair, not coarse dark hair.

    You can also buy DIY threading devices for £2 or £3 on enay. I have one. I think they're just called facial hair removal tools. They look like a spring with plastic bits at either end. You bend the spring and rotate it inwards as you move across your face and it pulls out the hair.

    That sounds painful :)

    Thanks for your tip though. Who are the women you follow btw? :)

    Shaving is fine, it will only grow coarse and dark if you start injecting yourself with testosterone ;)

    Is this true though? When I used to shave my armpits, my hair regrown was darker and coarse. Now I have had all of it lasered off and have smooth armpits again. Any (very minimal) regrowth is very fine hair.

    It's a different type of hair to the stuff on our bodies...trust me, ok I'm not a doctor but I shall endeavour to find a link by one :D

    Thanks for replies.. it's just doing it isn't it?! Because once you've done it there is no going back. Although I have been plucking for a few months - they still come back blonde.. the hairs on my legs when I shave them grow back blonde... Oh I really want to do it I am just a little scared :D

    Oh I just found this - from 4.50 onwards... interesting. Think I am gonna give it a go - pity she says leave your moustache though.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmWXGwMr0Gc

    Hmm, well this definitely wasn't the case on my body. The hair grew back darker, coarser and spread. It was horrible and why I chose to have it all lasered off.

    I'm saying that that will not happen to women's facial hair as it is a different type of hair to that on our bodies.

    I did it! Actually I have done it twice in the past fortnight or so and the results are brilliant - oh I wish I had done it years ago! :D
