Is it normal after shaving my body hair (not even shaving, just

help

No, that makes absolutely no sense. Either you're not seeing what you think you're seeing (i.e. there's some kind of visual trick that's making you think 50% didn't grow back) or you simply haven't waited long enough. Follicles grow hair at different rates, and cycle through periods of active growth and "rest," so you can't expect all your hair to grow back fully at the same time.

Shaving/trimming has no effect on the follicle and cannot have possibly affected the growth of your hair.

I can take a pic but it's really how I said, would rather not though.

It's like before I had normal male leg hair, then I shaved it to a few millimeters long, now some have grown back to normal and the others stayed... Maybe in time the rest will grow but it's been 4 weeks.

have observed same thing in my chest; it grows back eventually

Oh, that's not a very long time at all. Yeah, it's because most of your leg hair (probably even more than 50%, actually) is in the "resting" phase at any given moment. Give it a few months, you'll get your hair back, you haven't damaged any of it. That just isn't something that shaving does.

Hair on your scalp spends most of its time in the growth phase. Body hair spends significantly more time in the resting phase. Think about it for a minute and you'll see why that would make it grow back thinner at first.

The actual names of the phases are anagen (growth), catagen (transition) and telogen (resting) if you want to read about this more on your own, but I'd put it out of your mind, your hair is fine, dude.

thank you
