I have found that the hair grows back the same color and thickness
whether I shave or use tweezers. For me it seems that tweezing lasts
longer. I have a lot of soft blonde hair all over my face and neck and
then I get stray black thick hairs on my upper lip and chin. The blonde
hair isn't too bad although it gets pretty long after a while so I use
dipilitory (sp?) cream which gets rid of the blonde hair then
immediately after, I pluck the dark thick hairs that the cream does not
remove.
