How to Make Hair Thinner After Shaving

Waxing to remove hair will cause it to grow back thinner.

After shaving an area of the body the hair will grow back, sometimes even thicker than before. To thin this hair out, you must either shrink or remove the root of the hair. Removal can be done with a waxing method, although it may only damage the follicle and not completely destroy it. The hair will grow back in anywhere from two to eight weeks, but it will be thinner. An electrolysis method or zapping the hair follicle with a laser are far more effective methods for total elimination of the hair.

Things You'll Need

• Wax
• Wax removal strips

Instructions

1. Warm up the body wax (if necessary) and spread it on the skin in the direction of the hair growth.

2. Apply the wax-removal strip (cloth or paper) and smooth it over the waxed area.

3. Tear the strip away from the skin quickly in the direction opposite the hair growth.

4. Wash the area with warm water. Hot and warm wax are water soluble and will rinse away easily.

Tips & Warnings

• Waxing is the most effective way to thin hair on the arms and legs. It also works in the pubic region.

• For people with sensitive skin, a cold wax treatment is recommended. In this method, a strip with wax is placed on the skin and rubbed to create friction heat. It then can be removed with less trauma to the skin.
