Shaving the hair on your head does not make it grow darker. If you have much grey hair before you shave your head, all of your hair will look nearly white when it comes back, but don't panic. As it grows longer, more of your original color will appear among the greys.

I've done this several times, to treat my scalp psoriasis.

For the majority yes it does.

Answer:

This populars misconception is due to the fact that the natural pattern for hair is to start out thin and thicken over its growth cycle (like a skinny cone). Shaving the hair allows the thicker stubble to show which looks darker.
