Your hair is just more apparent due to the stubble. If you're willing to put up with a little additional after-care in return for the agony of waxing and threading, shaving is a totally safe and effective approach to remove facial hair. The skin under the beard grows hair too, so removing it also removes some of your scalp hair. This is called trichophytic shaving and it's completely safe. The hair on your scalp will grow back quickly anyway, so there's no need to worry about damage to your scalp hair. Shaving can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. You should always seek advice from a professional before you start shaver. That way you can be sure that you're not causing yourself any harm.
