And it is one of the longest spread myths: mothers often say this to their daughters to keep them from shaving too early. Shaving does not change the color or thickness of your hair.

So when it grows back, it may feel thicker or look darker.<\/p>\n<p>[\/gallerypage]<\/p>\n<p>[gallerypage]<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">2.
