Does shaving hair strengthen it?
The answer is no, cutting or shaving the hair alone does not strengthen it. This claim is one of the common myths about increasing hair growth and thickness, which has no scientific reality.
Hair grows naturally and proportionally, in a circular manner. Each hair has a growth period (anagen), a shedding period (catagen), and a resting period (telogen). After the end of the telogen period, the hair is separated from its root and a new hair begins to grow in its place.
Cutting and shaving the hair does not affect the hair growth process and does not affect the number of hairs, the speed of growth, or the thickness of the hair. If your goal is to strengthen hair, you can substitute other methods such as optimal nutrition, taking food supplements to strengthen hair, using hair care products, scalp massage, and stress reduction.
Also, if you face problems such as hair loss or thinning hair, it is better to consult a specialist doctor to diagnose the cause of the problems and determine the right solution to strengthen and improve your hair growth.
So, the issue of strengthening hair and its thickness after shaving is a misconception among people. Since many consider hair similar to a tree, we assume that trimming it like pruning will make it grow better, but this is a misconception.
• It is thought that if we shave the child’s hair with a razor, it will have thicker hair, but in fact, by doing this, we remove the tip of the hair, which is finer, and the thicker part of the hair remains. When this cut hair’s life is over, it will grow back as it was before. Therefore, the belief that cutting hair will strengthen it is false.
