If you shave repetivly in one spot will it grow back quicker?

Question

Ive heard rumors that the more you shave the faster your hair will grow.. True or False?

Answer 1

that is false, your hair grows from the root not from the top of the hair. it only seems to grow back quicker cause all your hairs are the same length after you shave.

Answer 2

FALSE - There are strong beliefs in many cultures that shaving hair makes it grow stronger. Some communities traditionally shave the heads of new born babies to “encourage” hair growth. In reality, shaving does nothing to promote hair growth. Hair is dead, cutting it cannot send a signal to the hair follicle in the skin to tell it to grow faster or slower. There is, however, an illusion of improved hair growth after shaving. The stubble that grows seems “strong” because it is short and relatively inflexible compared to the long hair just removed. Research studies have measured hair growth before and after shaving and shown that there is no actual change in growth rates. The shaving of babies’ heads cuts off the fine tips of new hair growth so what continues to grow is the thicker part of the hair.
