If you shave the hairs on your arms will they grow longer and thicker after that?

I here that if you shave your arms than they grow back longer, darker, and thicker is that true.

Answers:
no
i don't know but i ain't about to try!
no, it's not true at all. shave your arms! hairy arms are gross..
No, that's a common myth. It may appear that way to some because of the way the hair is cut.
yea
Yea, eventually you'll look like an ape.
Yeah, use wax instead
I shave my arms regularly and they grow back the same as befre. Except they grow slower.

I dont know. nothing wrong with a little girlie hair. But if you start shaving you better not stop
yes its true..dont shave them use a hair remover cream instead
Yes. Unfortunately, that is true. After I started shaving my mustache, it became thicker and thicker. At first, it was like little strands of baby hair, but now it's beard tough!

P.S. i'm a jesusfreak to! hi5 sista!
Ya when u do that it just loocks like u shved ur legs. When it grows back I mean. But if u dont mind whereing long sleeves..
yes they do.it said on that whats good for you show that they dont.but they do.
they do grow back thicker. longer? not really, it depends on the individual. i would suggest waxing as it lasts longer and the hairs don't get thicker.
yep
Yes
YES , MY DEAR EXPECT THE HAIRS ON YOUR ARMS TO GROW BACK THICKER and forgive me for saying this but some may think after seeing your exceptionally thick new hair growth that you are part ape, just kidding..
I've shaved my arms for years. My personal experience has been that my hair has grown back much darker. It was blond-ish when I started shaving and now it's dark. When I let the hair grow out it does feel more coarse than before I started shaving. I don't know if the hair necessarily grows back longer. it just feels prickly when it does grow back because it's all the same length.
I've shaven my arms and my hair hasn't come back any darker no thicker. Keep in mind everyone is different, so it may grow back darker and thicker for you. I think if your thinking about doing it, just shave a small, hidden area on your arm and see how it grows back. Then you'll know from there!
yes of caurse
No it dosnt. I shave my arms too, and the only thing ive notice is the razor bumps on your back of your shoulder arm. You might want to avoid that. If you dont keep up with it, your arm hair will grow back to its orignal length!
they do grow back thicker/sharper for sure. i shave my arms almost daily. if i go too long without doing so, i get really spikey and people get freaked out when i acidentally brush up on them :(
Yes. Shaving.just like on your legs causes the hair to grow back thicker because it was pushed back.If it is not a big deal or very visible I would leave it. Naturally all women have hair but if it bothers you that much try a hair removal cream or waxing instead.
Good Luck!
Yes they will grow back longer thicker and darker. I know..I use an epilator on my arms. its a lot better. check out Braun's new epilator the xelle 5270 it works really good since it pulls the hairs from the roots.. causes the hairs to grow back finer.. and after prolonged use (just like waxing) your hair will slowly begin to not grow back
No. Shaving hair doesn't make it grow back thicker. It also doesn't affect the colour or rate of growth. The colour, location, thickness and length of hair on your body mainly depend on genetics and hormones.

After you shave body hair, it may feel coarse or "stubbly" for a time as it grows out. During this phase, it may be more noticeable — and may appear darker or thicker. But it's not.

( and that's from a skin specialist!)

No. This is probably the most common myth of shaving that many people have. It is not true that shaving makes the shaved hair grow back any faster, thicker, darker or more profusely.

Your hair is simply dead protein - not grass!
Shaving is an external process and therefore has no permanent effect on the rate of hair growth. Although there is an immediate increase in the rate of hair growth directly after shaving, this is followed by a decrease within the next few hours.

Shaving your hair won't make it any darker or coarser either. A hair shaft is darker and coarser at the root than at the tip, where it tapers to a point, and shaving or cutting it near the root may give the appearance that it i
Yeah, its true my friend tried it and she has to keep on shaving her arms now..
no these ppl dont know what dey talking about b\cs i shavew mine and im a girl
their is tons of stuff on the Internet about this look up hair removal. Everything I have read says it's an old wives tell that alot of people still think is fact. Hair growth has to do with your genes if your parents have very little body hair you will have very little body hair has nothing to do with shaving. I have also heard that if you continue to wax eventually your hair will come back thinner, this is also untrue, not even laser hair removal can make the promise of no more hair there. I am a very hairy person and their is not a part of my body I have not shaved (lol) I have never noticed any change in the hair as it has come back. I think most people think there is a difference cuz if you keep shaving you will notice when newer darker hairs are coming in. They would have come regardless of you shaving or not, but you probably would not have noticed because hair is already surrounding the new hair and it is blending in better. The way I look at is I have been shaving my face since the ninth grade (so 7 years) and I still cannot grow a full beard. If it where true all men would have extremely hairy faces that would like a rug. Some men spend there whole lives unable to grow a full beard but they shave their face everyday. And if this shaving made hair come back thinker wouldn't this help men who's hair is thinning before they go bald.
accually yes it does grow back thincker and darker and i definately DONT recommend shaving your arms. i shaved my arms once and once you start you cant stop because the hair DOES in fact grow darker and thicker
hmm, my wife said to think about your legs, however, All I can think about is my beard, it is pretty thick but it wouldnt grow untill I started to shave it. now i have a big busy beard.
