Will your arm hair grow back thicker/darker if you shave it?

Question

I did a read up on leg shaving and how it doesnt cause your haie to grow back thicker/darker...so i was wondering why people are so afraid to shave there arms? if it wont grow back any different then why not?

i dont plann on shaving my arms but i was just wondering .

Answer 1

No it won't grow back darker. That's an urban legend. People who say it happened to them think it does because, if you look at a razor, it's slanted. It cuts the hair on a slant. So it appears thin as its coming in, but once the whole slant is above the skin, it looks thicker. But it's not. There is no possible way cutting hair could make it thicker. Does your head hair get thicker every time you trim it? Not possible. Look it up.

Answer 2

I do not consider the hair grows back thicker or darker. The hair is prickly and that i can be difficult to ever let the hair develop out. I've been shaving my hands for a pair years and i will not let the hair develop out b/c it looks particularly dangerous and feels bizarre, however the hair will not develop again thicker or darker.

Answer 3

I've been shaving my arms for years and the hair is the same as it was before. It doesn't grow back thicker or darker and my arms are very smooth. 2D

Answer 4

The hair is thicker at the base, so when it's growing in it looks awful. Once it's fully grown back in, it'll look the same way it did before it was shaved

Answer 5

The hair is not just a part of your body and it is a symbol of beauty, status and health. It is important for you to take proper care of your health in order to prevent early hair loss. Learn here https://bitly.im/aMPK3 It is not a very serious problem and with a little bit of caution you will be able to prevent further hair loss. There are certain uncontrollable factors like pregnancy conditions or certain illness or genetic factors that will result in hair loss. But, this does not mean that you cannot do something about your hair loss.

Answer 6

I shave my arms, but I don't have a lot of hair/ I just don't like hair at all, I shave every place in my body that shows a little bit of hair, but it does grow a little bit thickler and a little bit darker, but not too much/ not as if you shave your legs. It also depends on how much hair the person have.

Answer 7

NO

your hair does not grow in thick or darker it just looks as if it is because you just cut it and a blunt angle so at first it looks awful once it grows for awhile and has a bit of length it looks normal again.

Answer 8

yes. Did it an yes it came back black and thicker than ever. Unless you have really hairy arms, don't try it! If you really wanna ge the hair removed try waxing it! The hair stays away longer and it really dosn't hurt that much. Plus it dosn't grow back as thick and dark since you have ripped it out of the socket.

Good luck and hope I helped! =)

Answer 9

Well I used to swim and for meets we would shave our arms. It just sucked when they were growing back, we didn't keep shaving them only when we had our state finals or nationals or something like that. The stubble is horrible and really gross feeling.

Answer 10

no it will grow back darker and thicker, my friends shave their arms and i dont,,also you know how your legs get dry, and sometimes razor burn on them well also that can happen with your arms i look at it like shaving legs alone is a hassle, i wouldnt want to do my arms also, and when you shave your arms you have to do it more often then your legs becuase the hair on your arms grows back corser than the ones on your legs
