How does Vaseline remove unwanted hair?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There are several unconventional methods which use vaseline along with some other kitchen products to remove unwanted hair but there is no scientific proof. Any of these methods may cause minimal removal of hair when scrubed or peeled but it is not a permament solution.

View allI've noticed something strange with my beard recently. Some of the hairs are turning brown and a few even light brown, which is odd because all my other body hair is still black. I first thought it was maybe because of the gel I was using, but I haven't used any for the last six months, and there's been no change. Now I'm just using oil. Any idea why this is happening and how I might be able to get my beard back to its original black color?
-It's possible that changes in beard hair color could be due to genetics, hormonal fluctuations, or even stress. Since you've already stopped using the gel and are using oil, its important to focus on overall healthadequate nutrition, stress managem
