Why are my leg hairs sharper after laser hair removal than before?

Brittwins522
I just had my first session of laser hair removal on Monday aug 25 and I waited two days then shaved my legs. My leg hair grew quicker than normal and are sharp as hell! My leg hairs weren't that sharp before I went into the treatment! Will this stop before my next treatment which is in October? This feeling is awful!
