If your answer is no, then why are the hairs on my beard so coarse and thick?

Shaving has proved promotion of thicker and coarser hair growth. I don't mean "fuller" hair when I say thicker, I mean each strand of hair is physically bigger around. Studies on beard growth have proved this.

Imagine cutting a piece of steel bar.. After you have cut it, does it get longer?? No.. it doesn't because a steel bar is an inanimate object. Hair comes under this catergory too.. It's dead and basically useless. Lasts a long time though, for an organic material don't you think...
You are not talking about beard you're talking about stubble.. If you actually shave your head, you will find the stubble there is just as "think"....
There are parts of the body where hair tends to be coarser.. Pubic hair is an example as is facial hair, especially round the mouth..
This is mostly because the hair on your face is hard to cover up in extreme conditions. You need to see with your eyes and also talk and hear.. However you can cover the rest of your body so the body hair tends to be less coarse..
Strange why pubic hair is so thick.. Though come to think of it.. I've known a few women who are quite soft down under...

Genetics. You think shaving makes them grow more, or come in thicker. But really all hair on your body is set on it's own private cycle time as to when to grow, how fast to grow, when to stop growing (length wise), when to fall out, when to start to get thicker (coarser actually) (thank hormones by the way for that as you get older). Some men can continue to go through a thickening of chest hair, beard hair, etc all the way from puberty up into their 30's and 40's.. then it starts to change even more once you hit 40's and 50's.. in a whole new way (that usually sucks).
Same effect with the women by the way. Thank genetics, body science, hormones, and your bodies inner calendar for when and what to do.

No it does not. LOOK AT ME!!! I've been shaving my head for 5 years now and my hair is just getting thinner.
The hairs feel coarse because they have a flat top, and do not get thinner at the end.
There is an old wives tail though about hair getting thicker from shaving, but, unfortunately for me, it is not true.

yes,, in some countries people shaves their kids hair often during their second year of age, so that it can grow thicker and have thick hair when they are grown ups

It sure seems to on my husband. Every time we shave his head, it comes back in thicker and thicker.

no. the hair has oil in it that produces natural thick hair and if your hair is thin or een thick dont wear a cap or hat this causes hair to thin out very quickley this is fact. ?

No. They grow thicker as you age. All your hair.

No the hair follicles on your head and face are totally different.
