Will Using a Razor Comb Make Hair Thicker?

My friends are telling me that using a razor comb on your hair makes it thicker. Is this true?
***********
Actually, razor combs do quite the opposite. Their use is best suited for people who already have extremely
thick hair and want to thin their hair. Razoring hair reduces
hair volume, and helps thick hair lay down and behave better.
In all actuality, when you razor hair, it degrades the actual structure of the hair and can lead to
split ends and basic
hair damage. Over time, razoring can obliterate the hair altogether.
The use of razor combs should be limited. If you razor your own hair to close to the scalp, it can cause your hair to look poofy and frizzy.
Razor cuts are done to fringe hair or to give curls more definition. Any type of razor cut should be left to the professionals.
Instead of using razor combs, consume foods that help you
grow thicker hair. You can also take
hair vitamins that help promote
hair growth and use
volumizing products that increase thickness.
Thinning shears can be used to increase hair volume but you have to know how to use them. Since there are so many variables, there is no 'one size fits all' recommendation for using them.
