I have dark hair follicles on my legs why is this???

shaving makes the hair appear darker because ur cutting to make a blunt edge compared to natural growth of a hair follicle, which look some what like a thin cone shape...basically when u shave, u cut the tip off, making it appear thicker and more pronounced, when in fact its not, ur just taking the thinnest tip part off. the hair grows the same width, its just cut down to a flatter end after a shave. to get better growth and a more natural hair follicle, wax., ur ripping it out at the root, which means an entirely new hair has to grow..some hair will not get ripped out at the root, and will rip kind of like breaking french bread. so ur making another blunt edge, but if u get it done by someone who is a pro at waxing, they will get almost all the hairs out at the root. hair can change in thickness, but that is not because of waxing or shaving or any of that nonsense. ur hair changes naturally as u age in texture, color, what not. in sure ur hair has changed on ur head as well in some way as u grew up right? same thing happens all over ur body. one example is me, my hair when i was a young toddler, was light brown and curly locks about the same size as a one inch curler would produce. it was thinner in texture as well, more normal for most people. now, my hair strands are thicker, they are dark brown and black, the over all way it falls is wavy and not so curly at all.
