The hundreds of soft blond waxed ones still come in soft and blond.

I am my own proof to the contrary. Perhaps someone should study me.

And only this past year did I get impatient and tweezed by the corners of my mouth and they are absolutely harder and thicker and black and now tougher to wax off because they are more resistant. I guess because tweezing must break it off and damage whereas waxing.. maybe the heat ..softens and is a better removal..less damage.

but now I have to do chin and I even extend because I have decided I just don’t want hair anywhere.. not even downy soft.

I could not possibly pay to have it done because too expensive and I stress at thinking I could ever not be able to maintain it. (sick or elderly or without wax) the only thing that works and is economical is that hard zipwax and I melt it in sm crock pot and reuse til doesn’t work anymore.

i have more hair than ever and I know that is peri-menopause. I began waxing in early 30s because I believed the woman who said it would eventually stop growing.

I am Scottish/German descent. I always had a lot of body hair..even as a little girl.

Please don’t take this the wrong way because I don’t want to leave with an awful image.. but I *maintain* the stupid hair.

*I present well and get nice compliments. I am very feminine.*

You can see that just the fact I feel I need to say that…that I am very insecure about this issue.

My female cousins and my mother are the same way.

A hair is like a very thin triangle. Cut off the top of the triangle (i.e., tweeze the hair incompletely–the hair likely broke just beneath the surface). The triangle continues to grow at the same rate as the “triangles” that did not have their tops cut off.

The triangle with no top *appears* thicker than the intact triangles:

Once the hair (triangle-with-no-top) has completed it’s life cycle, it falls out. A new hair (intact triangle) grows in it’s place.

The “thicker” hair is only temporary.

Thanks.
