    Default Fact or Fiction?: If You Shave (or Wax), Your Hair Will Come Back Thicker

    Interesting read on Scientific American.

    Fact or Fiction?: If You Shave (or Wax), Your Hair Will Come Back Thicker - Scientific American

    "It may look that way, but looks can be very deceiving."

    "We scrunch. We twist. We pull the skin on our faces or legs taut just so razors can whisk away the undesired hairs sprouting on the fertile landscape of our bodies. Yet many of us do these tasks with a sense of futility, of inevitable failure, because we believe this regular ritual of removal causes hair to grow back mightier than before—rising like a phoenix renewed but with even coarser, thicker or darker offerings."
