It's no myth. It's true.

It actually is a myth. The truth is that hair doesn't get thicker, it's just the very top part, the thinnest part, is shaved off, so there's no more taper to your hair to make it look thinner. With (long-time) exposure to the sun and other things, your hair will taper again, but by that time it'd be really long again. They also don't grow back more, but tapers are shaved off, so you're able to SEE more of the hairs growing in.

Nope, it's actually true. That's why if you're a girl & you have hair on your upper lip, you should never shave it, because it will just come in thicker and you'll have to keep shaving it. If you shave, it'll come in thicker, darker, and coarser.

No, thats true.

Say you shave your legs for the first time, the hair was thin, and now, its going to grow back thicker.

My mom's friend shaved her upper lip, and now she has to wait for the hair to grow back in thick, and then wax it, Because its ugly otherwise.

But yeah, shave your legs, haha, but yeah thats true.

I believe so because usually when one starts shaving, they are going through the process of puberty. During this time, your body is going through some crazy changes and hormones are raging. Because of this, body hair naturally becomes coarser and darker and perhaps even curlier.

hope this helps-
