After which temporary hair removal method does hair typically regrow as short stubble within 24-48 hours?

Shaving is unique among the temporary hair removal methods listed because it cuts the hair at the skin's surface. This results in a blunt edge, which can make the regrowth appear coarser and more noticeable compared to other methods that remove hair from the root. Since shaving does not affect the hair follicle but merely trims the hair, regrowth typically begins to appear as short stubble within 24-48 hours after the procedure.

In contrast, methods like waxing, tweezing, and threading remove hair from the root, which means regrowth takes longer because the hair follicle needs time to regenerate new hair. This leads to a smoother skin surface for a longer period compared to the quick regrowth seen with shaving.
