What we thought we knew about waxing and shaving
Information
Video published by Scilabus
In this video, Scilabus tested and checked for us the different myths surrounding waxing and shaving.
In short, she tested it for 4 months, then compared the result under a microscope.
In summary:
- Hairs are not thicker when you shave them
- Hairs are not finer when you remove them by waxing or epilation
- So there is no change in thickness after shaving or hair removal
- Shaving makes the hair feel pricklier because the tip of the hair forms a triangle.
- Hair feels softer after epilation because the end is not cut cleanly.
- Shaving or epilation does not change the number of hairs in the area; the number of follicles does not change depending on shaving or epilation.
- So the amount of hair does not change, whatever the method.
Simply put:
Epilation simply makes the hair take longer to grow back than shaving, because it has to start again from the root, that's all. Shaving does not speed up growth either.
Thank you Scilabus for these explanations
