  1. Shaving Myths and Facts

  2. A lot of people are skeptical about shaving because of the myths associated with it. Let’s look at some of those and get them busted. Myth Shaving makes hair to grow coarser, darker and thicker. Fact It is one of the most popular shaving myths. An individual’s genetic and hormonal makeup determines hair growth. What a person feels as thick and coarse are only the initial strands of hair sprouting out. Sometimes, hair can appear darker because the hair is shorter and more exposed. As the hair grows longer it takes its natural colour.

  3. Myth Shaving makes hair grow on a previously unshaven area. Fact This is not true. Hair growth is determined by hormones. Hair growth patterns keep changing over the course of lifetime. If shaving made hair to grow, there would be no baldness in the world.

  4. Myth Using pre-shaving products is not necessary. Fact Pre-shave is just more important to some than others. People who have dry skin should us an oil, which will help plump up the skin cells. People with oily skin should use a pre-shave balm which has tea-tree and eucalyptus oil. Using pre-shave products makes it easier to shave.

  5. Myth You can use anything on your face after shaving. Fact This is another popular myth that people have. Never use an alcohol-based after-shave. An aftershave that neutralizes the skin’s pH is the best for all skin types. In winter, use a moisturizing after-shave.

  6. Myth There’s no difference between using a foam, a gel and a balm for shaving. Fact Most of the times there are butane and iso-butane gases in aerosol forms of shaving products like foams and gels. Using these products for shaving can make the skin dry. A non-aerosol balm is the better option.

  7. Myth Shaving causes burns and nicks. Fact Getting a smooth shape is about applying the right amount of pressure. Applying too much pressure on the blade can causes shaving burns or nicks.

  8. Myth Shaving causes ingrowth. Fact This is not the case. Ingrowth is caused by the surface condition of your skin and the natural texture of the hair. In fact, shaving removes the tiniest strands of hair from your skin.

  9. Did you know shaving dates back to prehistoric times? Cave paintings and other historical artifacts tell us that even cave men preferred to have a stubble free skin though their methods were a little tougher. For all of us shaving has become so easy. The whole experience of shaving is not just convenient but very time and cost effective, skin friendly and self-reliant. So why not have get away from all these myths and start shaving.

  10. If you notice anything unusual in facial or body hair, visit your doctor. This could be a sign of an underlying medical condition or a medication side effect.
