HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | HAIR

Hair, hair, everywhere!

 
 

 

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!

im 11 turning 12 in less than 2 weeks! My boobs are really sore....i have pubic hair...a little bit of armpit hair..and started discharge almost 2 months ago today i felt really stiff in my stomach like there was something stuck in my butt... My mom got her period when she was 12....im really athletic and im average size ( about 90 lbs if that helps) and everything. Is my first period coming soon?


 


Hey Girly!


It’s really hard to tell exactly when you will get your period, but those are all signs of puberty which means your period could really come at any time, whether its soon or in a couple of months even a year. It’s really hard to tell but just be patient as it will happen to you eventually. Smile Hope this helps doll!

When I was in 5th grade, I was pretty stupid with the razor. I thought it was cool how the little peach fuzz type hairs on my belly, cleavage, and lower back came away so easily. Now I'm almost out of 9th grade and let me tell you the aftermath of those early years is not pretty. I don't ever want to shave in those places again, and I want so desperately to have normal body hair. I tried waxing the first two places but it isn't helping much. Please help, I haven't been swimming in a two piece since nearly two years ago, and I only swam once this summer because of this fear of people thinking I was some ugly ape. Frown




Hey girlie,

There are three options: waxing, hair lightening, or accepting the bod you've got! I know you probably wish you could go back and never shave in the first place, but we can't go back in time to fix our mistakes. Personally, I'd probably trim the hair a little with small beauty scissors to make it seem thinner, then try to embrace it and carry myself with confidence...even if I had to fake it at first til I felt it for real. But if you have the money and are willing to stick with it, you could always lighten the hair or wax it at a salon! It really does help... it's just a bigger commitment <3

mod mod mod!!!!! omg. i gotta a prob. so like, there is this guy who is my ex-bf. i'll call him D. so he told me he wants to be a cheerleader which is extremly weird. he like messed up my reputation because everyone knows. i pretend not to know him. should i still be friends with him, or should i just not talk to him? help!!

Hey girl,

You're pretending to not know one of your friends? Ouch! There are tons of male cheerleaders who are super hot and strong -- someone's gotta toss those flyers! -- so support him if that's what he wants to do! It's fine if you don't share the same interests, but if you're friends you should support what he wants to do!

I have definetly started puberty-I have public hair and hair on my underarms. I even got my period the other day! But I have no hair on my legs. What's wrong?




Hey Doll,

Just as all girls start puberty at different times, how girls experience puberty is also very different. You probably have some hair on your legs that's just really light and thin, and that's normal. You might find that your leg hair starts growing more later, but for now, be grateful that you don't have to worry about shaving. Congrats on starting puberty!
