My grandmother's always telling me never ever shave or cut my hair (in the body) because it will just grows again and worst thicker and darker. But some says that it is not true, shaving can just sometimes leads to in-grown hairs... Based from your experience, can shaving really makes the hair grows back thicker and darker or it is just another myth? How shaving leads to in-grown hairs if that is true? Thank you very much! ^_^

Base on my experience, My hair that been shaved when it growing back, they become thicker and darker. I shaved my mustache and beard, the hairs grow back and became darker and thicker. So for the hair on other body parts like the chest or my legs I would not shave it again. But I don't have a clue with the first responder about the hair in women legs that shaved and grow back in the same conditon like before shaved. Maybe it will be different for each person.

Thank you very much for posting your experience. @ocikca-About shaving the head- yeah I agree! There will be no effect.. ^_^! haha, it might just end up losing your crowning glory... @winzpc- thank you for sharing..^_^! It could be! It depends upon the person, I'm thinking if the genes are also responsible with this..
