  • @MaddDogg81 Actually what happens is that the more frequently you shave, the less time the sun has to bleach and soften your hair, so when new hair grows out over the old hair that you shaved, it appears thicker. We tend to think that if the hair is darker that it is thicker, but even then it is no darker than it was originally. It only seems that way because you're comparing it to the sun-bleached hair

  • I am ok with myth debunking BUT this one about swimming after eating is not quite nonsense. Any exercise right after eating impairs proper digestion. Ignoring that fact can cause GERD for example. Lets dig out more stupid myths than that particular one.

  • when a boy shaved of course it will grow back thicker but taht is puberty

  • hair just grows back at an angle after shaving. 

  • No way, I can't eat then surf for shit. It definitely makes me wanna throw up.

  • what time is this show on, US central and what channel. TY in advance. 

  • I knew that ! :P
