Why does the myth of shaving make hair grow faster?

Shaving does not make hair thicker

I take advantage of this article to also break another myth: shaving does not make the hair thicker. It's just a feeling!

​

In fact, when you let the hair grow, it gets thinner as it grows. The point of the hair is thus finer than its root.

When the beard hair is shaved, it is cut as if it were sliced. Not only will its surface be larger but it will also be more spicy. So you will have the feeling of having a thicker and more robust beard hair, but this is only an effect.
