Have Facial Hair. Will Facial Threading Increase Thickness Of Hair?
Hello, I am a 24 years old female. I have lots of facial hair (sideburns an on cheek). Though these are very fine, but ale long, so shine in sunlight. I am planning to go for facial threading. I have done it for eyebrow and upper lip . I am concerned about the thickness of hair. Is it true that after threading thickness of facial airs increases??
