Because your hair grows faster when you cut it.

Yes it is a normal process for both men and women. You have been losing hair since the day you were born. Don't worry it grows back.

benefits- so smooth when skin is waxed,takes longer for hair to grow back\nside effects- possibly itchy, rash of what looks and feels like razor burn, ingrown hairs.....all of this is only a posibility

Shave with a razor and shaving cream, shave in one direction to limit the irritation. After you get done clean off with water, and let it air dry. Drying it with a towel will only irritate your skin. After it dries use rubbing alcohol a couple of times a day until the irritation goes down.\n\nYes the hair will grow back, it starts growing back within about 5 days or so.\n\nAnd yes it will itch butthe Alcohol helps, and if you continue to shave that will go away as well.

No, you're hair isn't growing, but it is pulling away from the follicle, putting more of the hair on the outside making it seem as if your hair grew.

Thats not true... Shaving has no effect on how fast or thick your hair grows. When you shave, the only thing it effects is perception. Your hair will grow at a different angle making it look thicker. The only thing that decides how thick your hair is or how fast it grows is genetics. If your father is hairy, then theres a good chance that you will be. Like with my dad, he is part indian and has hardly any body hair. I guess you could look into some medicines that help but frankly... go with the clean body, girls find it more attractive in the long run.

My guy has hair from his feet to his hips and it doesn't bother me. As long as your torso isn't covered in hair so thick you look like chewbacca I don't think you have anything to worry about. Men are hairier than women, we all know that. Personally, I think a man shaving his legs for cosmetic reasons is a little queer.

Och!\nWell done you, \nIt will hurt trim the hair first! But you are a big strong man with a big strong will and you will cope fine.\nThe pain is on the bearable side.\nIt will probably itch for a couple of days when the hair starts to grow back, it will probably grow at differant rates so dont panic and think your gona have bold patches.\nas for how long it will take to grow back, everybody is differant but on average I would say 6-8 weeks and you will have a decent ammount back.

Shaving does not cause it to grow back like a man's beard. I would say wax if you want, I don't see why it would stimulate new growth.

Ingrown hairs typically occur after waxing or close shaving. Hair is removed from the root or just below the surface of the skin and can become trapped as it grows out. This is commonly associated with bacterial infections that enter skin pores immediately after hair removal. The mild infection then clogs up the pore. preventing the hair from growing out.\n\nIf you suffer from a great many ingrown hairs then try applying a light layer of ingrown hair treatment like Tend Skin immediately after removing hair.

It depends if you pulled the root out with the hair.  The root looks like a little piece of flesh on the end of the hair.  Of coure there are ~ 10 roots at every pore waiting to start growing until the last stops working...So I guess technically yes.  It will grow back.

No to both. \n\nThe biggest difference is that before shaving, your hair is thinner at the tips.  When it grows back out from shaving, it's the same thickness at the tip as it is near your skin which makes it seem like it grows back in more.  Your # of follicles don't change.\n\nIf that were true, balding men everywhere would be shaving away, wouldn't they!

is it BIOLOGICALLY impossible for your hair to grow back thicker - it is just an illusions as it pokes thru the skin.\n\nI shave b/c I like to feel CLEAN!  pubic hair actually makes you unclean as it holds in sweat, bateria, and other unwanted things that could make you smell and grow things you don't want.  seriously!

It is the root from which the hair is produced.  No, plucking it out with the hair will not prevent it from growing back.

my wife and I both get brazilian wax's...she loves it when I have no hair, and with a wax it takes a few weeks to grow back.  better than shaving.

It doesn't-- it's an old myth. As the drying skin recedes from the bone, more nail is exposed giving it the appearance of growth. As for the hair, I guess it was just an assumption since it still looks normal after the skin shrivels.
