facial hair most of all

03/16/2007

Everyone has facial hair, men and women of all ethnic backgrounds. Actually, most people have some amount of hair over most of their body. The only differences between people’s facial hair involve thickness and quantity.

Thanks for visiting and finding my article. What follows is information that I have pulled together from many different sources. I hope you find it both interesting and helpful.

In most cultures it is perfectly acceptable to have thick and large amounts of facial hair if you are male. In fact many cultures highly encourage facial hair for men, and thick beards are seen as a symbol of male virility, wisdom, and or power. Conversely, most cultures do not likewise value facial hair on women, and usually stigmatize it quite harshly. A woman with an abnormally large amount of facial hair is often made to feel embarrassed and is looked at as somehow less feminine than other women while this may be true.

As a man living in America, I don’t have any problems with my facial hair. It is something of an annoyance to shave all the time, but even if I miss a day here and there I don’t feel too self-conscious about it. I’ve found that a lot of American women say they like the look of a man with a little facial hair stubble, but it seems to me more often than not women in America are not attracted to beards or mustaches. Though they may have liked the look of it, even just a little stubble irritated most girls I’ve dated once we became intimate enough to kiss frequently. What may look masculine and sexy can apparently feel like sandpaper to a girl and leave behind a visible rash on her face while we're talking about.

Facial hair is a whole different story on a woman, however. One of my first girlfriends was cursed with very dark facial hair, and although she did not have much more than any other woman, hers was more visible than normal. She tried a number of different ways to remove her facial hair, but eventually wound up getting it removed by way of electrolysis. Electrolysis is definitely the most permanent and effective way of removing unwanted facial hair, but is the most expensive. Some other popular methods include waxing, trimming, and hair removal chemicals in this situation.

It is popularly believed that if you shave your facial hair, it grows back thicker. This is actually an urban myth, however. The thickness of your facial hair is determined by genetics. The reason why a man’s facial hair grows back thicker when he first starts shaving is because during adolescence, the time in which most men begin to shave, there is a genetically induced boost to testosterone levels, which has the added effect of thickening facial hair. So shaving and facial hair thickening for men occur simultaneously not by cause and effect, but by coincidence while we're talking about.

So that's the information I have on that subject. I hope it was helpful and you were able to get something out of it.
