Shaving Does Not Affect the Thickness or Rate of Hair Growth. Despite common belief, shaving your hair does not make it grow back thicker or at a faster rate. In fact, this misconception was debunked by clinical studies in 1928. Still, the myth lives on, even almost 100 years later.

How often should you shave?

In general, we recommend shaving every two to three days if you want a clean shave; three to five days if you want to simply style or trim; and if you want to just let your hair grow, then simply stop shaving. How quickly hair grows also depends on the area of the body.
