Comments: It may be true for SOME that waxing and shaving result in lighter hair regrowth, but this was NOT true for me. After shaving the first time, my leg hair grew back quite dark and thick. The first time I waxed (just a patch), I followed all the directions and postwax advice and found the hair regrowth was much thicker & darker than before. I tested this further by plucking hair in isolated spots and watching to see if it grew back the same thickness and darkness as surrounding hair it always grew back thick and dark. The place I waxed has been plagued by ingrown hairs and roughness ever since the waxing.
