Excess hair growth annoying me! if i wax will it regrow thicker?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The number of hair follicles is not due to whether you wax or not. Their is a certain number of hair follicles and they regrow based on that. Overtime if you wax frequently enough then the number can actually decrease.
