hitu123 09-28-2007, 05:06 PM does cutting or trimmimg facial hair make them hard and thick? Choice 09-28-2007, 06:40 PM Hair grows with a natural taper. When you cut off that tapered end, the stub does feel harder and thicker, but in actuality it hasn't changed. When the cut hair sheds and is replaced, the replacement hair will have that softer, more flexible tip until it is cut. hitu123 09-28-2007, 06:53 PM thanks for the reply....does that mean that they will become thicker and harder gradually till they shred...also what will happen if i pluck them? Choice 09-28-2007, 10:55 PM When you cut a hair, all you do is cut the hair. Neither the diameter nor the texture of the hair changes. It can't become thicker nor harder. Tweezing is a different matter. Tweezing effects the root of the hair. At the lower potion of the follicle is the papilla. The papilla is a bundle of cells that connect the hair to your blood supply. The blood supply nourishes the hair. When you rip the hair from the follicle, your body senses this as an injury and rushes blood in to repair the injury. With repeated tweezing, the body keeps adding extra strength to the hair in hopes of prevented more injuries to the hair. Eventually, particularly with facial hair, the hair does become coarser, often darker, and often actually distorts under the skin. hitu123 10-01-2007, 07:12 PM thanx a lot for this valuabale information.I was really worried about whether to go for cutting or tweezing of 3-4 very fine but a bit lengthy facial hair. I think i should go in for just trimming them. |
