With the arrival of spring and the first stockings is when you remember that you have had an entire autumn-winter to do the laser and forget about razor hair removal forever . Another summer that has to pull the razor.
Now, is it true that razor removal makes hair grow stronger and stronger?
From the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV), Dr. Elia Roó Rodríguez, a specialist in Dermatology, confirms that hair removal with a razor does not make hair thicker or stronger.
The blade does not make the hair weak, but it does not make the hair more abundant
What happens is that, unlike other methods such as waxing, photoepilation or laser - which affect the hair follicle - the blade does not make the hair weak. It is true that, although it is a comfortable, fast and painless system, the results are not long-lasting. In any case, it is advisable to use razors specially designed for female hair and be careful with warts and pimples.
If waxing, epilation machines, or other hair removal methods don't work for you, either because they bruise you or because the pain doesn't suit you, then the razor is your best friend. However, not all blades on the market are suitable for hair removal and it is not always done properly. Therefore, we give you some tips for a perfect razor hair removal.
