Does plucking really strengthen regrowth ?

    Hi I'm not looking for medical advice. I'm just wondering whether this is the experience of others?. It's what 'Hair Removal' professionals say. I do believe them, but just thought I'd ask what others here think anyway :)

    Thanks

    I've always heard the opposite - plucking eventually leads to the hair follicle dying and that hair never grows back/could take a really long time to return.

    Over plucking eyebrows seems to permanently thin them, plucking facial hair seems to increase growth!

    Done a fairly extensive 'Google search' and it seems to both promote growth and damage follicles, thus lessening growth, in different places. Seems to say that where hair is very dense, that promotion of strong regrowth is more likely due to a 'defence response'. I've been plucking lately. May eventually return to 'Therapie' whenever I've time and money.
