I have heard this before, and when I researched it on the internet, most of what I found was that this idea is a myth. I also read in a beauty magazine once that it's a myth. Yet other ppl. tell me it does, and it seems like it does. Does anyone else know if this is true or not? Does shaving stimulate hair growth, and can it make more hair grow in the area than before you shaved it?

Yes, I THINK it does. My mom has thicker and darker leg hair than I do. When you shave you also shave shorter hairs that you may have not noticed, they can grow back longer and thicker. I think the reason could be that the body realizes the hair is gone so after shaving multiple times the body feels the need to produce thicker hair so it does not get "lost" again. This is all just my own idea, no tests to verify it. I think waxing can stop hair growth permanently after many treatments because it can get rid of the root. Laser hair removal can do that to.

Yes. Once you shave, hair gets darker and thicker. Thats why many people do not shave above the knee or in other places. =)

Yes,.. your body goes " OMG! We are being scraped and attacked,... and MUST PROTECT!" so it grows more hair for your protection.
Added: If your talking about on your Head,.. go see a doctor you might have a medical condition or be lacking something or low on something in your body (maybe a diet change or takeing a couple vitamins a day will help).
I found something that smells like Holiday Spice. I used it as directed. I wasn't really getting results. I stopped washing my hair and useing it because I was going to color my hair,... in about a week I gained an inch of hair (while not washing or useing anything on my hair). It's called Dr. Miracle's Hot Gro Super Strength. But for like bald patches you will want to look at women's Rogain for the exact spelling there is something called like Monoxicl or something in it,... that helps with hair growth when your getting bald areas. Unless you have certain disorders/diseases/viruses.

Hi there,
There are many factors that can attribute to hair recession or massive hair fall and you need to find out which one exactly is responsible for the problem you are having now. Of course male pattern baldness is still the most common cause, but, for instance, if you are a woman things are deinitely different! This is the reason why you will need to really dig down and see the source of your problem.
Other causes of hair loss may include (both in men and women): severe mental or emotional stress, excessive use of coloring or bleaching agents, traction alopecia or excessive strain on the scalp due to braiding or corn rowing, hormonal changes, alopecia areata or hair loss due to autoimmune diseases, and many more. Each of these conditions will require a different approach in order to achieve success regardless of whether you're going to be using conventional or natural methods.
In my opinion it's much better to use natural methods as opposed to conventional ones, they're cheaper, have less to no side effects, and often more effective.
A good way of regaining your full head of healthy natural hair is well described on this guide: http://hairagain.toptips.org
Cheers ;)

I have had 2 barbers who have told me it does. They also suggest finger scalp massages to get the hair growing on your head..
