DOES SHAVING MAKE YOUR HAIR GROW THICKER?? NO!! - Dr Rashmi Shetty

DOES SHAVING MAKE YOUR HAIR GROW THICKER?? NO!! Your hair may APPEAR thicker for a while after shaving, but that does not mean it has made your hair thicker. When people think of shaving, they think their hairs thickness changes and will grow back thicker. No!! It only feels that way for a while. Watch the video to know why your hair may APPEAR / FEEL thicker right after a shave.
Remember, you can not change your hair’s thickness permanently with a razor - the only thing that can help change hair thickness permanently is laser hair reduction - which REDUCES hair thickness , making it thinner.

Of course, while razoring / shaving you must be careful that you do it gently, on moisturised skin, in order to prevent cuts or pigmentation. I also do not recommend shaving the face - since facial skin is thinner and more delicate , if you don’t shave right , if can lead to scars , marks or pigmentation.

To me, laser is the best way to deal with unwanted body and facial hair. It works on actually reducing the thickness and amount of hair in such a way that the hair doesn’t just appear to be thinner and less but even grows back thinner and less in number after the number of sittings of laser that you require. However, for a quick fix - shaving your body hair is completely fine and safe and does not lead to hair growing thicker!!

This may be the case with the european body but in Indian body, it does grow back thicker, in more quantity and longer than before

Believe in docters ❌ Believe in comments✅

I saw a teenager who had light hair growth after shaving just once, there was thick hair from then onwards.

It grows mam. We are experiencing it and not just studying about it in bio

[nidhishetty]

Yaaaa it doesss and I hate when someone says it doesn't 😑

[junaidjavaid]

I shaved my hair 3 weeks back now i can feel new tiny hair growing just near to initial hairs and i am happy to feel this. It's a miracle for me. I used many oils but no benefit.

[KaushikViralVlogs]

no she is wrong....we see new two hairs growing from same follicle. i have tattoo on my body so have to shave my arms, could see multiple hairs growing from each follicles.

[naveedahamad]

It appears thicker because very close to initial hair a new hair grows. That make hair thicker.

[hello_worLd]

I don't know why everyone says this but our experience says the opposite my hair was so thin you couldn't even look at it from a distance but after shaving it litreally got as thick as my hair on my head i dont know why you guys always lyong

[gargeesharma]

Sharing my personal experience- i used to have golden or yellowish hair on my face then i shaved 2-3 times after seeing videos like this and now my hair are growing back darker but not thicker but bcoz of black hair my face looks 2-3 shades darker especially my around mouth area and i need help to go back to normal state

[Gayathri]

I would say don't shave, wax or touch your hair at all. Let it be. If the growth is too much excessive due to hormal imbalance, just shave once or twice a month and go for laser hair removal while the hair is still thin and soft.

[ManoMazeTwistedThoughts]

I'm 21 year old girl i shaved for the first time .. but i noticed it grew back thick again . I can't afford lazer treatment 😭 please help me

[Factit]

Head shave will make better hairgrowth

[scoobyvmagic]

Everytime I shave it gets more thiker and the amount of body hairs also increases. And also in spots that I never had any hair before starts to appear hair .

[manalibela]

yes it actually grow more after shaving I experienced this... please don't shave instead go for wax

[Zala.family]

Exactly thanks for showing this way people are just not getting what Exactly happens

[peacefulmind]

Don't know why Indian doctors rely more on theories rather than practical, ever year i undergo head shave, thats one of the reason i haven't experienced hairlining till now, my brother is going bald but i haven't, and trust me shaving hair definitely affects yours hair volume and texture

[ankitadas]
