Shaving Your Hair Makes It Thicker
If shaving the hair makes it grow thicker, we will all be sporting a full bush of hair. Even though shaving your hair does not make it grow thicker, some still could swear it does. On a Reddit thread, a user said that despite the number of times she has explained the fallacy of this myth to her grandma, she still accepts it as a fact.
When you shave your hair on your legs or arms, you see the base, which usually looks thicker and denser. Also, hair that hasn’t been cut usually has a soft end because it has worn out. However, when you freshly shave the hair, it becomes rigid and dense to the touch.
