Does shaving make your hair grow back thicker than if you hadn't shaved it at all?

No. What does happen is that the ends of the hairs are cut off sharply and not tapering like they would be if not cut. The result is that they feel thicker - and they may look thicker as there aren't the wispy ends of uncut hair. Jul 15 06, 5:34 PM

Thank you, that is what I thought. My husband and I have debated this for years and you put it much better than I have. Jul 15 06, 7:48 PM

It is really true that hair grows back thicker when you shave it? Why does your hair turn grey when you get older? Does hair continue to grow after someone dies? Is it true, that if you lie, your nose will grow?

1 Mary Mary, How Does Your Garden Grow? There are several ways that flowers grow. Perennials grow back every year. Annuals usually need to be replanted every year. Bulbs store the energy for the plant to grow the next year. And corms and tubers that are similar to bulbs but solid inside.
