Does shaving make your hair grow back thicker and faster? Is it better to wax?

Fortunately, you can shave, pluck, wax or nair unwanted hair, without causing more unwanted hair to grow.  Think about it, with 75% of men experiencing some degree of permanent hair loss (male-patterned baldness) at some point in their lives, all they would need to do is shave their heads periodically to grow more hair.  It just doesn't happen.
