and if they do grow back after they are plucked, do they grow back thick or thinner?

Yes, of course they grow back.
And it's actually a myth that they grow back thicker after shaving. That's just how they appear during the initial stages of re-growth. However, plucking/waxing does make them grow back thinner...albeit very, very slowly. It causes damage to the hair cells which stops some hairs from growing back. However, I've been waxing my arms for YEARS (about 7) and only started to notice a difference the last 2 or 3 years.
Waxing IS better than shaving (takes longer to grow back and EVENTUALLY grows back thinner), but I've done the laser treatment and that's been the only thing that's REALLY worked.

Of course they grow back, I don't think they grow back MUCH thicker or thinner. After a few years of plucking you may notice that they look a LITTLE bit thinner though.

yes they grow back. plucking hair does not kill the hair follicule. as far as growing back, mine grow back the same old way they always do. No more no less. it is a myth that they will grow back thicker. In fact if you pluck them enough they may not grow back at all. My mom plucked hers too much when she was younger, and they are very thin now and won't grow anymore.

Yes. The only way to keep hair from growing back is electrolysis. They don't grow back thicker or thinner.

Your hair grows back thicker upon any form of removal. If the hair is on your physique, that is meant to be there. We, needless to say, don't like it by way of fact we are ineffective. as quickly as we do away with the hair our bodies think of that's substitute into executed maliciously and it needs a protection mechanism. for that reason, sprouting thicker, greater beneficial hairs. there is not something you're able to do to opposite the effects.

They usually grow back a little thicker, but it depends on the person.

They do grow back, but no they do not grow back thicker.
It's just one of those annoying things.
If you want to permanently remove them, have them laser removed. (electrolysis)
