A member asked:

Light hair on a girl's back. if she waxes it off, will it come back coarse or darker?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Joseph Eastern answered

No.: If anything it will grow back lighter and more sparse, because the hairs have been pulled out from the roots, so the follicles are weakened.

Dr Brown and another doctor agreed
