each time i shave my leg and arms the hair usually grows faster and thicker than before the initial shave?

Answer 1

thats normal, the hairs are cut at a wide point (i.e. near the base) so no longer taper towards a fine tip at the end (as they would if left un-cut), this increases their apparent thinckness. If it's worrying you, try waxing or epilating, or (for the wimps like me) hair removal creme

Answer 2

Not true. Hair growing back thicker or more of it is just an illusion. Its because if you shave you have a blunt end of the hair coming back up. If you wax or 'Nair' you are pulling the root out (or disintegrating it) so it will form a soft tip again (just like when you were 12) More hair will not grow in replace since you only have so many hair follicles and that does not change by shaving.

Answer 3

Yep! I get the same thing, it's a pain!!

But anywho, Veet do a really nice cream remover, that makes the hair grow back a lot slower and a lot lighter in colour. I use it every week, sometimes twice in the summer and the sensitive version is great.

There is always waxing but you need to have the hair a certain length before having that done, not always possible in the summer.

You Shave Your Arms? you Never Sghould Have Done That Now You Will Have To Shave Them Forever Or Look Like a Hairy Beast

Answer 5

Shaving always makes hair grow thicker & faster.

Answer 6

It doesn't but just appears to because the ends are blunt, unlike a new hair growth where the end is finely tapered. By the way, why do you only shave one leg?

Answer 7

Look for a shave cream that has a hair inhibitor included in the ingredients. Otherwise, I have heard that jojoba inhibits hair growth, give that a go. Good luck.

Answer 9

yeahthats because its not coming from the roots, you need to pull the hairs out..

and then after a few times of waxing or whatever method you wanna use they will become thinner and some dont grow back visibly at all x

Answer 10

according to something I read a few weeks ago. the hairs dont grow back quicker or thicker we actually imagine them doing so, as we are use to hair free skin.
only way to prevent this is to get waxed as you actually pull out the hair follicles.
