If you shave your legs, will the hair grow back twice as fast?

Question

Or does that only count for facial hair?

Answer 1

Wow, if hair would grow back twice as fast as being left unshaved, that would be a solution for people whose hair grows too slow to suit them. "Virgin", unshaved hair lies flatter; each hair shaft ends in a point. Shaving puts a flat end to each hair shaft. The hair grows out straight, making it appear to grow more quickly. But it doesn't.

Answer 2

Yes, it will grow back faster and thicker. Dont do it.

Answer 3

It grows back faster, for more people. But if you aren't thinking about it, don't.

Answer 4

It isn't true for any of you hair. Hair is dead. Shaving it doesn't make it grow from the follicle faster or slower.

Answer 5

yeah...it grows back darker and faster.

Answer 6

u thinkin bout shavin ur legs??

Answer 7

Well first of all, if you're a boy, than it is not normal to shave your legs in the first place unless you're a professional swimmer. But yes, shaving your legs does make the hair grow twice as fast. But if you're a boy and you are thinking about shaving your legs or already do, I wouldn't recommend to continue to do so.

Answer 8

Only slightly.

Not very noticeable.

I would say you may notice a little darker color, but the thickness would barely increase!

By the way, Is that you on your picture?

If it is,

dayumm, you're hot!

Answer 9

ur a guy u shouldn't be asking.

Answer 10

I would recommend using a trimmer, but I wouldn't shave it smooth unless you're a swimmer or something. I regularly trim my body hair with clippers (electric razor) but I don't shave smooth.

Just do some "man-scaping" and maintain your body hair.

Answer 11

It does

Answer 12

Hello,

     It all depends on your body. Take, for example, you shaved your legs and its a really cold day and you get goosebumps. It was a waste to shave your legs really, since your hair keeps your warm. If you have goosebumps your hair goes up and traps your heat, which is pretty much what happens even if you shaved. You still have the root of the hair follicle.

      For some women and men it takes longer or its fast, well all differ, once you understand how your body works even to something like shaving. It is easier to understand. Hope that helps, if you have any more questions just send me a message.  

Answer 13

okay think about what ur saying...if you never shaved ur legs before it will take have the years u were born....a better question is will it grow back fast or thicker.
