Your follices contain stem cells and they produce more hair:)!

Individual hairs alternate periods of growth and dormancy. During the growth portion of the cycle, hair follicles are long and bulbous, and the hair advances outward at about a third of a millimeter per day. After three to six months, body hair growth stops (the pubic and armpit areas having the longest growth period). The follicle shrinks and the root of the hair grows rigid. Following a period of dormancy, another growth cycle starts, eventually a new hair pushes the old one out of the follicle from beneath. Head hair, by comparison, grows for a long duration and to a great length before being shed. The rate of growth is approximately 15 millimeters, or about ⅝ inch, per month.

just because you remove the hair doesn't meant the hair wont grow back. it can, but it will grow back less stiff and noticeable than if you cut it or shave it. the only way to keep it from coming back would be if the folicle is damaged. it grows from the root up the follicle and out the skin.

Eventually, a new hair follicle will be produced and hair will start growing from that.
