One thing that annoys me about the persistence of this myth is that no one who thinks it is true can actually explain why it's true, which is to say, they cannot explain why shearing the hair would have any effect on the way it grows. Rather, they rely on inconclusive anecdotal evidence of the existence of the phenomenon, then, in the absence of an actual explanation of why the phenomenon exists, they nevertheless conclude, "what other explanation is there?" If someone can actually explain, in credible terms, the mechanism by which shaving makes the hair grow fuller or faster, I'd sure like to hear it.
