actually according to my science book hairs are like carrot or radish and when you cut them from middle they seem to be broad and dont they degrade from sides untill some days and grow brader and if u next time dont shave them they will bacome fine again. . It also seems to appear that all of a sudden, you have more hair than you did or it grows faster. This is because your hair grows in phases. It grows, it rests, and it falls out. When waxing, you pull out the hair, and only the hair that was in the falling out stage is going to grow back right away.. the follicle that was in the growing phase still has to go thru the resting stage and falling out stage, even though there is no hair, and the follicle in the resting stage still has to go thru the falling out stage. When you shave, the rest of the shaft is still in the follicle, so it has to work its way out..

First, ignore that first guy, people can be so ignorant and insensitive.
The hair isn't thicker. If your hair grows directly from the follicle the end is tapered. If you shave it, you are making the end blunt. It also seems to appear that all of a sudden, you have more hair than you did or it grows faster. This is because your hair grows in phases. It grows, it rests, and it falls out. When waxing, you pull out the hair, and only the hair that was in the falling out stage is going to grow back right away.. the follicle that was in the growing phase still has to go thru the resting stage and falling out stage, even though there is no hair, and the follicle in the resting stage still has to go thru the falling out stage. When you shave, the rest of the shaft is still in the follicle, so it has to work its way out.. by the time the hair in the falling out stage works its way to the top,a new hair has started growing in the follicle, so your skin never sees a break from the hair.

It's because the hairs taper off..wear off...to a finer end over time. When you shave them, you cut of that worn tapered part and expose the thicker, still healthy 'stub'. Over time, it will do the same as the old hair did...wear down over time and become finer towards the end. An example would be to take a sharpened pencil and saw it in half. Much bigger now on the end, right? So, now go sharpen it again..wahlah...small again.
