I waxed my arm hair because it was really thick, and i heard that waxing it will make it grow back thinner or less coarse, Is it true?

alot of times, if you wax a certain area enough, the hair will just stop growing. now im not talking about 2-3 times, but over a course of a year or two, it make just completely stopped growing. i wax my underarm hair and my leg hair and my undearm hair has just about completely stopped growing. *yay*

waxing over time can damage the hair follicle making the hair in that area grow back less. the same way someone who has plucked or waxed their brows for years has less cleanup and maintenance to do with them after time passes.

no it doesnt make them thinner, what it does is pull the whole hair out by the root forcing it to grow in all over again as opposed to shaving where you take off the thin top part and let the thicker hairshaft grow more and the cut it off again...

Over time waxing will but who wants to wait?? The best way to remove hair permanently is laser hair removal! I have done it on several parts of my body and I love it!

NO
Hair is keratinized skin cells that have been pushed up through a hair follicle. Shaving, waxing, etc. will not have any effect on the hairs themselves.

yes it grows thinner the more you wax and at one point you dont have to wax or shave anymore.

No, nothing you do externally to your hair will permanently change it because it is the roots (under the skin) that control what the hair looks like/is shaped like. SHAVING YOUR HAIR WILL NOT MAKE IT GROW BACK COARSER, THIS IS A MYTH.

depends on you...if you grow a lot of thick hair, you're always gonna grow think hair. I use Nair on my arms. (my hair isn't that thick anymore.) You could have a hormonal imblance that causes you to grow thick hair...try the dermtologist first..

nope... just a lie they spread. only laser can thin out hair or reduce it over time...or electrolysis... .but there is not a 100% guarentee with those either so sometimes waxing comes out just as expensive over the years.

Well i know that shaving doesnt affect hair at all were a lot of people thought that it made it come back thicker so i doubt that it will make it thiner
