My hair increased in quantity first, then gradually turned dark and corse. Shaving my legs just made the hair grow thicker and faster. At one point, I had 3 hairs growing out of each follicle. I bleached my upper lip for years with Jolene bleach. It was just too thick, kids (most honest beings on earth) would ask me why I had a mustache? So I plucked and plucked my beard until I carried tweezers and a mirror on me anywhere I went just for those five o'clock shadows and ingrowns that would peak out spontaneously. That was the end. I then although costly, got laser surgery on my face, and it's been a blessing. I shave twice a week for those stubborn ones that won't quit, much happier now. I've never taken any meds for it. When I slowed down the shaving and went on Orthotrycyclen for it, it lessened. The other stronger ones, worked better, but gave me high mood swings where I would cry for no reason. My advice,.........shave less often, the more you shave the worse it gets. and laser surgery is a blessing. Good luck!
