I’m covered in thick fur from my head to the tips of my toes. I usually run hot and feel most comfortable in 65-68 degree temperatures.
I did a full hair removal one summer - everything from the neck down - just to see if it would relieve me of the heat. Unfortunately, my hair also grows ridiculously fast. Not only did it fully grow back in less than a week, but it came back thicker! I now have fur patches in places I used to just have a few fine light hairs. Now I’m extra miserable in the heat.
Bonus cruelty: I was in the US military for 20 years and kept getting stationed in hot places, including a deployment to Africa and a deployment to Iraq, both during the summer. I actually developed a heat rash in Africa from sweating too much.
Hair doesn’t grow back thicker when shaved; that’s an old wives tale. The reason it feels thicker is that the ends of the hairs haven’t been worn down yet. You can use a piece of denim as kinda sandpaper to smooth them out.
But yeah, I had to full body shave like every 3 days, so I just started using an epilator.

People have been telling me that all my life, but that’s exactly what happened to me. It doesn’t grow thicker each time I shave, it was just a one-time thing. But where I used to have blonde peach fuzz, I now have thick, bushy, black hair. And it didn’t change until I shaved it.
I was 28 at the time, so it wasn’t a puberty thing either.

I didn’t start growing my beard until about that time, so it could have been natural.
