Does Shaving Pubic Hair Make It Grow Back Thicker?

No — shaving hair doesn't change its thickness, color or rate of growth. Shaving facial or body hair gives the hair a blunt tip. The tip might feel coarse or "stubbly" for a time as it grows out.

Does shaving pubic hair increase size?

While shaving can give the appearance of thicker hair, the act of shaving does not increase the number or size of hair follicles in your skin. That's true for your head, face, pubes, and the rest of your body. ... Instead, shaving cuts your hair back down to the thickest part (right at the root).

Does shaving darken pubic area?

The good news about shaving is that it doesn't actually make hair thicker or darker, it just looks that way. If you want to avoid the stubbly look you can get from shaving, you can use depilatories or wax. A depilatory is a cream or liquid that removes hair from the skin's surface.
