When you shave your legs with a razor, do the hair become thicker?

Question

my aunt said its not good to shave your hair with a razor because it gets thiker. is that true?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Yes it is very true and besides it keeps growing outlike evry other day. Wax on the other hand is amazing it takes off any things on your skin, makes it look amazingly smooth and clean and it doesnt grow out for like 3 weeks to 4. I recommen to use hot wax as well it works really nicely.

Answer 3

the hair does get just a little thicker but not every time the main thing it does is make it more course or rough.  

Answer 4

yes thats true

Answer 5

I would say that the first time you ever shave, you do have really thin hair. However, it will grow back a bit thicker next time. But only the first time. Then your legs will get used to the razor and it won't grow back any thicker than it is. :) Shaving with a razor isn't a bad thing at all.

Answer 6

noooo. they dont get thicker, maaybe darker but not all that much.

Answer 7

YES. When you use a razor to remove hair you are only removing visible hair. There is a bulb called a papillia that your hair shaft grows from. When you cut the hair at the shaft it grows back thicker in diameter because you still have a strong keratin base to build on. When you pluck or tweeze it rips the hair from the bulb. This removes it's base and the hair grows back finer.

Answer 8

No, this is a common urban legend.

Answer 9

NO NO NO NO:)

if you have blonde hair, it usually grows back black or a darker color. and it might grow faster. but no, never thicker:)
