Many people worry that shaving directly with a depilator will lead to longer, denser and darker body hair. Actually these are all illusions. Shaving body hair is like shaving your hair. The newly grown stubble is too short and it feels harder when you touch it. So many people think the new hair is dense and hard.

Actually, the number of hair follicles is fixed from birth. Therefore, the hair won’t grow more and more densely. The thickness and color of the body hair are related to androgen secretion. Since puberty, it will gradually change from soft to coarse.

It is the safest method to shave body hair with an electric razor. Generally, it won’t cause skin damage. It is especially suitable for people who have sensitive skin and are afraid of pain. For younger girls, it is also better to use an electric razor, instead of using chemical hair removal.

Finally, make sure the hair removal tools are clean. Do not share it with others to avoid spreading the disease. It’s best to use disposable tools in a tattoo studio! If your tattooist takes out a used tool to remove your hair, you can leave right now!
