Does Shaving Your Head Make Hair Grow Back Quicker?

One common question people often ask is whether shaving your head will make your hair grow back quicker. The short answer? No.


The Perception vs. Reality

When you first shave your head, it may seem like your hair is growing back thicker. This is because shaving cuts the hair shaft at a blunt angle, giving the hair a thicker appearance when it begins to grow. However, this is merely an illusion. Once your hair grows back in fully, you'll notice that it hasn't actually become thicker or grown any faster than it naturally would have.


Cultural Beliefs

Some cultures believe that shaving the head encourages thicker, faster hair growth. However, over time, people generally realize that this isn’t the case. Shaving doesn’t affect the rate of hair growth or its thickness.


So, if you're considering shaving your head with the hopes of speeding up hair regrowth, it won’t have the desired effect. Your hair will grow back at the same rate it always has.
