Any advixe on the nasty facial hair that accompanies prednisone? If you shave it will it come back worse? Its grossing me out
 
Lol, I'm rocking the "Predstache" at the moment too, I have a date with my wax pot tonight :p
The best thing for fine facial hair like that is to wax. Shaving cuts the hair bluntly so when it grows out, it looks thicker and darker. Waxing pulls the hair from the root so when it grows back, it grows in a tapered shape and appears finer. Neither shaving or waxing will actually make the hair grow back thicker or darker though.
 
ahaha i hate it. my boyfriend cant help but make me laugh when i tell him he needs to shave and his reply is "so do you" LOL. i have 7 more days of prednisone and i am finally free of its wrath. so you suggest waxing it? the pain i go through for this crap. hahaha.
 
If you can withstand the pain, I would recommend waxing haha. But I'm biased after being a skin care therapist for 3 years :p
 
No shaving does not make your hair thicker and darker, its a myth and whether or not it "appears" that way depends on the person I suppose. But for your face, like if it were me, I'd totally wax it cause in my mind, it sounds better than shaving. :p
