The hair shaft tapers at the end. "When you shave it, you're crossing the midshaft, so it seems like it's thicker and more coarse," explains Dr. Robin Ashinoff, director of cosmetic dermatology at Hackensack University Medical Center. "But it's not."

Duh! If shaving made hair grow back thicker, balding men would be shaving their heads, and waiting for a forest to re-grow!!!!

Sometimes you split the shaft, too, and it looks like there are 2 hairs.
Obviously, shaving does not make the hair grow back thicker.

well when I started to shave my legs as a teenager, it was light.
Then in my 20's it got darker and thicker in some areas.
So I got laser and I am loving life...no hair to shave. Just awesome.

I think with men shaving their heads is something else. They go bald because of DHT or something genetics. Not sure, but they really don't have a choice which sucks. However I must say, a bald man or men that shave their heads is very, very sexy.
