Why does waxed hair come back thin and shaved hair come back thick?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

waxing: pulls the hair out. shaving: shaves the top. think of tree, its real thick at the bottom and skinnier at the top.

Waxed hair may come back thinner due to the destruction of the follicle. However, it is a myth that shaved hair comes back thicker. It just seems that way because hair is cut at it's widest point which is at the base of the hair.
