Spoiler alert: Have you ever experienced OR heard from your elders OR your friends that if you keep on shaving regularly, This will lead to a gradual increase in the thickness of your facial hair. Some of you may have also even tried this knack but never had a promising result as your what you have learnt from your elders or friends right…Well, it’s a common belief, but let's uncover the truth behind this myth.
Shaving cuts hair at its thickest point – where it emerges from the skin. As it grows back, it may feel coarser due to the blunt edge of the hair shaft. However, this doesn't mean the hair itself has changed. Hair growth is determined by genetics and hormones, not shaving. Each follicle has its own growth cycle. Shaving merely removes hair temporarily; it doesn't alter the follicle or growth cycle.
Research consistently shows shaving has no effect on hair thickness or colour. It's a myth that's persisted over time. So shave away without worrying about altering your hair's texture or color. It's perfectly safe and won't affect your natural growth patterns.
