Hair, hair, everywhere!

 
 

Check these out, too...

I have hair growing about almost everywhere on my body. Is that normal?

 

Let’s take a trip back to bio and think about the animal kingdom. Humans are mammals, right? And a defining characteristic of mammals is body hair. Just ‘cause you’re more teen queen than Planet of the Apes doesn’t mean you’re exempt from the rules of nature, so body hair is pretty much a given.

 

Yeah, yeah, it sort of stinks, but the hair that covers pretty much your entire bod protects you from the elements and keeps you warm. If you want to get rid of it, you have lots of options, but aside from the hair under your pits and coating your legs, most of it is 100-percent socially acceptable to leave as-is—and you don’t have to de-fuzz at all unless you want to. Nobody should be sizing you up based on your body hair, so stopping worrying about it, sweetie!

Just like this article I have hair everywhere it is really embarrassing today in gym I forgot to wear a tank top and my friends made fun of me because I have hair on my stomach it was so embarrassing . What should I do shave it leave it or wax what I don't like I feel like people always notice I also have a lot of hair on my arms I know some hair is normal but I have a lot and it is really noticeable. I also have hair in weird places like my feet, hands, and my lower back what should I do
Thanks

 

 

Hey Girlie, this link might help ya out.  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/07/11/Whats-the-point-of-shaving-your-arms.aspx 

You just have to decide what is right for you, although I do not recommend shaving those places.

MODMODMODMOD!!!! For some reason my hair keeps falling off. But I mean ALOT!Everytime Im shampooing my hair, i see hair in my hands. Also that happens when I comb my hair. Is this normal??

 

hey girl! well, I can't tell exactly how much hair your losing from this...if you're really concerned, you could go see your doctor about it. you could be missing key nutrients from your diet!

Since, i was a little girl My hair always stayed at my chest length and now my mom thinks i should cut it but i dont want too, what should i do?

 

Hey kiki3001, tell her you don't want to cut it. Explain to her why you like it at its current length and see what she says. Hope this helps! Xoxo

mod mod MOD! do yo0u get paid for modling for gl?

 

Hey girlie! I don't get paid for modding, since I'm an intern and only mod during office hours, but some of the other girls who mod at night and on the weekends might (I'm not entirely sure.) xoxo
