Busting Shaving Myths- Part 1

Busting Shaving Myths- Part 1

Hi guys,

If you have been following my blog for a while, you know I had taken the Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth challenge last year, read more HERE

There are many myths associated with shaving which only scare girls to try out shaving, while the truth is shaving is the most easy, non painful, time saving, effective and economical method of hair removal!

I have been shaving since quite a few years now and even I was scared initially, but later on I realized how everything we heard about shaving was untrue and it is actually so, so convenient! I am hooked to shaving and want more girls to try out shaving without hesitation.

I will be busting some myths associated with shaving and explain why they are totally untrue. I have divided the myths into few parts, so I will be busting the first myth in this post and few later in other posts

Myth 1: Shaving makes your hair grow thicker, darker and faster

It is just the top part of the hair we cut when we shave, so the hair that grows and comes out later is the inside part which is in the roots of the skin already,which is a little darker as it has more melanin and hence we feel that the hair is growing thicker and darker. It is just that the hair that was within the skin comes out and we feel it is different when actually it isn’t. It is a part of the same hair follicle. So there is no change in hair texture or color or thickness in anyway due to shaving. Hair growth/colour depends on genetic factors and is internal, shaving cannot make your hair grow faster or thicker or darker.

So your genes and hormones determine your hair regrowth and it is not related to shaving at all.

I hope I busted the myth and cleared some concepts. If you have been wanting to try shaving but feel unsure because you felt your hair will grow darker or thicker, I hope you do try now 🙂

Gillette Venus Razor and the Satin Shave Gel are my go-to. The only razor for women in India currently which are super easy to use and economical too. You can buy this All In One Pack HERE.

Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge Final Update

Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge Final Update

Hi guys,

Time for the last and final update of the Gillette Venus #SubscribeToSmooth Challenge. Read more about the event and the challenge HERE and the first update HERE, 2nd update HERE and the 3rd update HERE

I have been shaving my legs for more than a month now. I was always into waxing but things have changed since my marriage, I hardly get the time to go to a salon and also since it’s a new place, I was not very comfortable going to any salon. (Since I used to go to a particular salon only pre marriage near my parents’ place)

This shaving challenge came at the perfect time for me and I readily took it up, and I am so glad I did. I am a convert now and I guess the ease of shaving and how quick it is, has made me a shaving girl now 😀

Today I will bust the myths ‘Shaving causes harm to the skin’ and ‘Shaving causes nicks and cuts’. Well, shaving can cause nicks and cuts if a proper razor is not used and one is not careful while shaving. That was one of the reasons I never shaved before, coz I was always scared of nicks and cuts. But with the adjusting head of Gillette Venus razor, it goes on like super smooth even in the edges and corners of the legs and there has not been a single cut or nick ever with it. I don’t think I am trying out any other razor ever. And as far as causing harm to the skin is concerned, absolutely not! Shaving does not cause any harm to the skin, in fact it removes the dead skin cells and exfoliates in a way.

Benefits of Shaving:

  • Does not damage or darken the skin like hair removing creams
  • Saves a lot of time as no salon visits and can be done anytime,anywhere in minutes
  • Can be carried along anywhere, even on your long holidays
  • One razor lasts 3 months, so it saves a lot of money compared to other hair removal methods!
  • A total value for money
  • Ease of use, you just need a few extra minutes in your bathroom to shave and you are sorted

I have shared the correct method and some tips for shaving HERE and HERE

Its been a boon for me and now I can wear all my dresses without a second thought. I totally love the idea of shaving now and I don’t think I am going back towards waxing anytime soon 😀 From a girl who never shaved to one who does not want to go back,it’s quite a leap,don’t you think? Definitely give it a try, if you haven’t yet!
