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!

MODMODMOD! I have dark hair and I've tried bleaching my upper lip hair but it doesnt really work. Any other options I can try? I don't want to get darker,course on my face and if I can avoid painful things that would be helpful.Thanks!

Hey girl, the best options would be plucking or waxing. Those are the only things that I trust. Ask for "hard wax" if you get waxed, it hurts less and its more gentle on your skin.

Okay so the hair on my back and stomach is somewhat thick and it's dark too. In the summer I wear tankinis so no one will see it when I swim, but I'd really like to wear a bikini. Is there anything I can do at home to solve this? I've had a few people make comments about the hair on my upper back before and the hair on my arms but those I can deal with. Thanks tons!!

Hey girl,

Well, there are a few things you can try. For getting the hair to be lighter, you can just try wearing a bikini for a while, because the sun will naturally make hair lighter (even the hair on your head!). You can also check out some bleaching methods, but I suggest talking to your mom first. If the thickness is still bothering you, you can always get it waxed or try some hair removal cream. I suggest leaving it be, though!

out of your rightful opinion which one do you think is better ?tampon or panty liners for a tiny barely 5 ft girl? thx xoxo

Hey Girl,

Every girl has her preference when it comes to time of the month maintenance. Some girls dislike pads because they think they feel bulky. But if you don't mind them, then keep wearing them. Tampons are great because you can play sports and SWIM without worrying about leaking through (as long as you change it every few hours). If you're nervous about buying tampons, ask your mom, aunt, older sister, or other trusty adult to help you pick some out. Your school nurse may have a few useful tips as well

Best of luck!

so im 12 ish and it is swimsuit time in Kansas but iv got too much hair down there should i shave a biki line or something and how? plz answer if you can

Hey Girly,

What you do with your pubic hair is completely your decision. Some girls choose to shave it all, some girls like to keep it neat, and some don't do anything with it. If you think you would be more comfortable with shaving, go ahead! Just make sure you're not doing it only because you feel pressured to. Make sure you're razor isn't dull and use some shaving cream to avoid getting razor burn.
