Yes, but only for men. Meaning it doesnt effect womens legs ect the same way, it works similarly but different. You will only speed it up to a certian degree. But it does speed it up. This is where a lot of people get the idea about triming your hair making it grow faster. However triming a beard/ mustache and shaving makes them grow faster.

I don't think it speeds up the growth--the guy is right it does depend on your testosterone & hormone levels; however, when you shave, it generally does come back thicker. My brother who is now 40, has always had a problem with trying to grow a mustache, beard or hairs on his chest. I've heard this to be true because he is of Native American descent. He has never had a beard and only has 2 chest hairs, even at 40. LOL He can sport a nice mustache, every once in a great while tho'. So if you have a great deal of Native in you, this could be why it's taking such a long time to grow.
I'm a woman, I can tell you, I think the little "peach fuzz" is sexy on a guy. The beard is not so appealing to me. I do like a nice trimmed mustache as well. Good luck on hair growing and don't wish it on me! LOL

Girls ask this question all the time about shaving their legs. No it doesn't speed up growth. It just seems like it because you shave over the skin you cut the hair at that level. And when it grows it feels rough and stubly. Which means you notice it more. Each person has a different hair growth rate.

YES and it also thickens the hair. I don't know what this guy's on about 'it depends on your testosterone' gmf. Everytime you shave the hair comes out thicker and faster (and if your hair is light, it becomes darker) - it's a fact.
