If I shave my arm pit hair, Will they grow faster and be more thicker? I want a lot of arm pit hair. I hope this is not a weird question.....

People seem to think that if u shave ur hair, it grows back thicker. This just isn't true. Depending on how many times Uve shaved before and on where u are in puberty, the hair will grow back in due time but will look similar to how it did before u shaved.

Yeah, it shanges nothing. Now this is rumored because by the time it grows back to it's previous size, you've been through puberty longer and asre more developed. But yeah really shaving has nothing to do with it. You're better off leaving it as it is.

It is an utter myth that shaving makes hair grow back thicker or faster. The reality is hormones which create androgen sensitive hair follicles is what causes body hair, and by the time you can shave the hair you already have an outward sign of your growth. Puberty is a tough time especially with folks wanting to be just as developed as one's peers. Don't worry if you are relatively hairless now. If your mates have a lot of hair but you don't, then keep in mind that you might be more developed than them in other areas. Puberty is a 4-5 year process, and you have plenty of time to grow.

Also, keep in mind that some ethnic groups don't get particularly hairy, and looking at your Father and older brothers (if you have brothers) are usually good yardsticks on how you will develop.

Lol that's quite funny.

Sadly, the speed of hair growth doesn't depend upon when/if it's been shaved.

But to the OP, i tried to shave almost all of my hair to make it grow back quicker. I just itched like hell and got laughed at in gym class :(
