no

Answer 2

No, it is an old wives tale proven wrong many times over. If you or your brothers have any doubt, have one shave their head for science and then measure the progress of the re-growth and at the same time measure the one that did not shave it and see which grows faster or is it the same? Do at least two that did not shave the head for the test subjects to compare with and measure in certain spots that you mark in some way so you can come back to the exact spots. Then if you average it all out, you can get the scientific proof you need wtihout a lot of links. Hey, I was always told to either put up or shut up so here is your chance to have them prove to you if they are really serious or not and how serious they really are about getting the proof.

Answer 3

I heard that is true. In fact, when I was young, I had very little hair. My sister kept using a raiser on my hair. The result was that my hair grew faster and longer. I am not sure whether there is any evidence other than my personal experience that can prove this. Shaving cuts the hair from the surface not from the root, so it should not affect the growth.

Answer 4

Yeah it always does after you shave.Because my friend never use to shave and her legs were hairless now that she atarted her legs looks like king kong's.
