    Many people believe that shaving helps hair grow back thicker. This is a false notion born out of the fact that a shaved strand of hair appears sharp and dark at the tip. The actual hair follicle – which influences your hair growth – is deeper in your scalp. So, shaving your hair has no effect on the follicle. Shaving does help psychologically for patients undergoing treatment such as chemotherapy.
