Myths vs Facts: Does Shaving Make Hair Thicker And Grow Faster?
Shaving hair is not the issue - it's the 'shaving' part that makes most of us squirm. A topic of debate for decades, particularly when it comes to the effects it has on hair growth, many refrain from shaving stating that it makes your hair grow back thicker and faster.
But how true is that? Do you think that shaving can make your hair grow back thicker or faster?
Myth 1: Shaving Makes Hair Thicker
Fact: This is perhaps one of the most common myths associated with shaving. The truth is that shaving does not make your hair grow back thicker - yeah, it doesn't.
When you shave, you are cutting the hair at its thickest point - which is, the base. As the hair grows back, it may appear thicker initially. However, this is just your eyes deceiving you, and the hair will eventually grow back to its normal thickness.
So, don't worry, shaving will not turn you into the Bigfoot.
Myth 2: Shaving Makes Hair Grow Faster
Fact: Another common myth is that shaving stimulates hair growth, making it grow back faster. In reality, shaving has no impact on your hair growth. Hair growth is determined by factors like genetics, hormones, and overall health.
So, if you're hoping to speed up your hair growth, you might have to look for other ways. Sorry guys, shaving won't make your hair sprout like you were meditating in a cave for 4 years straight.
Myth 3: Shaving Changes Hair Colour Or Texture
Fact: A Big No. Shaving absolutely has no effect on the pigment-producing cells or the structure of the hair follicle. Any changes in colour or texture are purely coincidental and not a direct result of shaving.
Myth 4: Shaving Removes Hair From The Root
Fact: Shaving only removes hair from the surface of the skin, we are not plucking it - we are shaving it. To remove hair from the root, you'll need to explore other hair removal methods like waxing or epilating. So, if you're looking for a more long-lasting solution, shaving might not be your best bet.
So, what did we learn guys?
- Shaving does not make hair thicker.
- Shaving does not make hair grow faster.
- Shaving does not change the colour or texture of hair.
- Shaving only removes hair from the surface, not the root.
On A Final Note...
Remember, the only thing shaving guarantees is that you'll have smooth and hair-free skin, at least for a little while!
