No, Your Hair Doesn’t Grow Back Thicker (Let’s Bust That Myth) 🙅♀️🧼
We’ve heard it a million times:
“I want to wax, but I’m scared my hair will grow back thicker!”
Girl. No. That’s not how hair science works. 🧬✨
Let’s break down this stubborn little myth once and for all—and give you the smooth, stress-free truth.
💡 The Myth: Waxing Makes Hair Grow Back Thicker
This one has been floating around since middle school health class. But here’s the thing: waxing does the opposite.
When you shave, you’re slicing hair off at the surface—leaving behind a blunt tip that feels coarse and stubbly when it grows out. That’s why post-shave regrowth can seem darker or thicker. It’s not new hair—it’s just angry about being cut in half. 😂
Waxing, on the other hand?
It removes the hair from the root, giving your body a chance to grow it back softer, finer, and often sparser over time. 🙌
🌱 What Actually Happens With Repeated Waxing
✨ Hair grows back softer.
Without that blunt edge from shaving, regrowth feels silkier and more tapered.
✨ Hair grows back finer.
Each time we remove the hair from the root, your follicle gets the hint that it’s not really welcome. Over time, hair can come in finer and more manageable.
✨ Hair may grow back slower.
Regular waxing can disrupt your hair’s natural growth cycle, meaning longer-lasting smoothness between appointments.
🤔 So Where Did This Myth Even Come From?
Probably from shaving, honestly. Since shaving doesn't remove the root, it leaves a sharp edge. People confuse that “prickly cactus regrowth” with thickness. Plus, the idea just stuck—like gum under your shoe in the 2000s.
We’re here to set the record straight (and your follicles free).
💁♀️ What You Will Notice With Waxing:
You’ll feel smooth for weeks, not hours
Regrowth becomes less intense over time
You might even forget what stubble feels like
Less ingrowns and fewer bumps (bye, razor burn 👋)
🛑 Don't Shave Between Waxes (Trust the Process!)
When you shave between waxing sessions, you interrupt the cycle that helps reduce regrowth. Let us do the dirty work and keep your skin on track for that long-term smooth life.
📅 Book your next appointment every 4–6 weeks, and you’ll start noticing the difference by month 2 or 3.
🔬 Still Not Sure? Science Has Our Back
Dermatologists agree: removing hair from the follicle doesn’t make it grow back thicker. In fact, waxing often leads to the opposite over time.
So go ahead—ditch the razor and the rumors.
✨ TL;DR: Wax It, Don’t Fear It
Your hair won’t come back thicker, darker, or angrier.
It’ll come back softer, finer, and less noticeable—and we’ll be here every step of the way to help you stay smooth, confident, and completely unbothered. 💅
