## Caption

So contrary to what you might have be told or believe — shaving your hair doesn't change its thickness, color or rate of growth.

When you shave facial or body hair, it gives the hair a blunt tip. The tip might feel coarse or "stubbly" for a time as it grows out. 

During this phase, the hair might be appear darker, thicker and be more noticeable.

If you notice a sudden increase in facial or body hair, talk to your doctor. 

This could be a potential medication side effect or a sign of an underlying medical condition that will require further evaluation.
