If you look at the anatomy of an uncut, plucked hair, you will notice that it's thicker at the bulb/root than the tip.
When you cut a hair at the skin, you have cut off the soft tapered end, and therefore as the hair grows out above the skin, it only appears course and thicker in texture because you are looking at a blunt cut partway down the hair shaft where the hair is thicker in nature. If you were to pluck that same hair, you would notice that the next hair to grow from that spot would finer in texture because of the small tapered tip that would once again grow.
I've been sugaring my legs and arms since 1996. I now only have to do it 3 or 4 times a year. In the winter I sometimes don't bother, and there are large bare patches where there was once hair growth, and the hair that grows in is soft and fine in texture and not very noticable; and I have dark hair.
