Will underarm hair become thicker after shaving?
In general, shaving underarm hair does not make it grow back thicker. The growth of underarm hair primarily depends on the number of hair follicles and their sensitivity to androgens. Shaving only removes the portion of the hair shaft above the skin surface and does not stimulate the hair follicles, so it does not cause underarm hair to become coarser. If you wish to remove underarm hair, medical aesthetic methods such as ice-point laser hair removal, electrolysis, or photonic hair removal may be considered, which could offer better results.
