Hello... i am 22 im a very hairy . and my hair grows back faster after waxing it..

Yes: Hair follicles grow hair. If the follicle is not destroyed, the hair will grow back and often it seems faster since it is starting from the follicle. The only way to stop the growth is removing or destroying the fiollicle which can be performed with lasers (alex) if the hair is dark. At best, only 85% is destroyed.
