There’s a curious aspect about pubic hair that seems to grow back so quickly if you regularly trim, shave, or wax it. But does it really grow back faster than other hair? How you choose to remove your pubes can affect how they grow back—and how much you notice it growing back—which might give the impression that it’s growing back faster. Because the hair is thicker and rougher, shaving might cause ingrown hairs and irritation. Trimming, waxing, and lasers, on the other hand, might cause less irritation.
