No, it doesn't. I have done this for YEARS before I got the super short cut. Just recently I let the hair grow back into the bob style exactly for this reason. when I clip it I leave just enough stubble so that you don't get those ingrown hairs that tend to make you itch.

Thanks for all the comments. I am giggling at all your reactions. To me, it is perfectly normal, so I forget how surprizing it can look.
