Shaving has no affect on hair growing faster. This is a common myth. Below are the reasons this myth began and persists

Hair grows in cycles that change with age

* Hair grows from the corners of the upper lip, and then forms a complete moustache. Hair then develops on the upper part of the cheeks, and under the lower lip. Hair then spreads to the sides and lower portion of the chin and the growth continues to form a full beard. Facial hair continues to grow coarser, thicker for several years after the onset of puberty; this process varies with each person and can take up to a decade to complete.

Hair is dead, shaving does not affect it

* By the time hair is what you call hair, the magic is over. Hair is composed mainly of keratin, a mineralized protein, all the growth occurs in the bulb deep in the skin and can not be affected by shaving.

Hair tapers as it grows, therefore it appears thicker after shaving

* When facial hair is shaved the proximal shaft (portion of hair closet to skin) is thicker, hair naturally tapers with growth. This gives the impression of thicker growth.

Stubble: Hair that is freshly shaved is blunted and coarser

* Shaving puts an angular bias on hair that to the touch seems like more hair growth. Short fresh cut hair is stiffer due closeness to the follicle, less room for movement. All hair softens when it tapers with growth adding to the misconception thicker growth.

Hair becomes lighter has it grows due to sun and chemical exposure

* New growth, it is darker because it has not been exposed to the sun and the chemicals of everyday life. When you shave the initial growth is darker, this is naturally perceived has thicker.

Perception

* Initial growth appears greater because hair grows so slow. You will notice the first few millimeters with further growth the change seems diminished. Baby faced to a five o'clock shadow is a stark change, and then comes peach fuzz, after that change is subtle. * Wishful thinking seems to be the greatest reason this myth persists, you want to see growth so you do.

Shaving has no effect on the rate of hair growth, but it does make it appear to grow faster because the hair is shorter.

If the hair is shaved to the level of the skin, even a millimeter of growth is noticed, but if the hair is long, a millimeter would usually not be noticed.
