If I wax, will it grow back thicker?
No!! The great thing about waxing is it will actually cause your hair to grow back thinner and less dense. Waxing is pulling the hair from the root, so it will take longer for the hair follicle to grow a new hair, which means you'll go longer before that new growth pushes through the skin
