Question

Does hair really get darker from shaving?

Answer 1

no it just gets stiffer and less soft.

Answer 2

no it doesnt. its because you are cutting the hair at the middle of the shaft that it "looks" darker and is "rougher" or "coarser" and you may get some discoloration from the shaving... yay for waxing!!!

Answer 3

well it depends... i made a silly mistake when i was younger and shaved the top of my thighs...even though my hairs were a light blonde (thanks to my evil step sister) & now they are noticeable.. so they did go darker, i dont shave them anymore but i think if i did they would probably turn as dark as my lower leg hairs. So if your hair is already dark, i dont think it could get any darker. But dont shave light hairs that u dont need to  

Answer 4

Nope! And anyone who tells you otherwise is too naive or immature!

Answer 5

No, it just gets less soft.
