If I shave my mustache will it grow faster than it naturally does?!


Question: Many people say that if you shave your face, then your hair will grow back thicker and fuller. Scientific studies say that this is nothing more than an old wives tale.

I think people think it grows back thicker and fuller is that because the more you shave, the more time has passed, and as more time passes, the older you get, and the older you get, the faster you can grow a mustache.

The only useful thing I can say about that is that be careful what face soap or face lotion you use. I used to use this girly brand stuff in high school when I had acne. It worked and cured my acne, but the label said it would make my facial hairs less visible. Go figure.

yes and the hair will become even thicker.

Yes im 15 and it did

yes because someone told me that wen something is shaved or cut it grows back longer than usual.

No...that is just a myth. Everyone's hair grows at a certain rate and cutting it won't change that rate.

No it does not dude do not do it just leave it be, It Will grow on it's own

Short answer is NO. The fact that you shave the hairs has no effect on their growth rate because the follicle is below the skin so it does not even know the top has been removed. Hair is dead and there is no correspondence between follicle and hair shaft(the part you are cutting) so it gets no signal to grow faster or slower or thicker or thinner. That is all hormonally signaled and is hereditarrily controlled like your eye color or your height.
