    Hair doesn’t grow back thicker when shaved; that’s an old wives tale. The reason it feels thicker is that the ends of the hairs haven’t been worn down yet. You can use a piece of denim as kinda sandpaper to smooth them out.

    But yeah, I had to full body shave like every 3 days, so I just started using an epilator.

      Hair doesn’t grow back thicker when shaved; that’s an old wives tale.

      People have been telling me that all my life, but that’s exactly what happened to me. It doesn’t grow thicker each time I shave, it was just a one-time thing. But where I used to have blonde peach fuzz, I now have thick, bushy, black hair. And it didn’t change until I shaved it.

      I was 28 at the time, so it wasn’t a puberty thing either.
