If you shave your armpit hair will it grow faster?

Shaving does not cause hair to grow faster or thicker. This is a common myth. When hair is shaved, it ends at a blunt point, which can feel rough or stubbly compared to the natural tapered end of unshaved hair. This creates the illusion that shaved hair grows back faster and coarser, but in reality, the growth rate and thickness remain the same.

The pattern and rate of hair growth are influenced by genetics and hormones, not shaving.
