✗ The myth everyone repeats
Shaving your legs or face causes the hair to grow back thicker, darker, and faster.
✓ What is actually true
Shaving does not affect hair growth rate, thickness, or colour. The blunt edge created by shaving may appear darker or thicker initially due to the blunt tip reflecting light differently than a tapered natural hair end. Hair continues growing at the same rate as unshaved hair. Dermatologists confirm that shaving is purely a surface-level action.
