Hair, hair, everywhere!

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!

Hey bubblerain, try trimming your ends every three weeks to prevent them from splitting. You could also create a scheldue for washing your hair. Washing my hair every ten days works for me, so try that. Hope this helps!!

mod mod mod HELP my hair is rough, thick, dry, and curly in some places, and is un-combable(i've broken combs and hairbands because of my hair)and i can't find a strong softening product. any suggestions?




Hey girlie,

Definitely ask your hairdresser to recommend a cream or serum. I have fine straight hair, so I'm not the best person to ask! I'd only be guessing Smile

All of a sudden my hair has been getting more greasy, it even looks greasy straight after I've washed it! I have oily skin, is this why? Should I wash my hair everyday? Should I use conditioner, I always do but maybe this is why my hair is getting greasy quicker? Much appreciated Smile




Hey girlie!

The same thing happens to me every now and then.  The first thing I'd try is instead of conditioning every time you shower, condition every other time.  If that doesn't work then try the same with your shampoo.  If your hair hasn't always been like this, then it has to be one of those two products.  Now all you have to do is find out which!

MOD MOD MOD! I have tons of black heads on my nose, and they will NOT go away!!! How do I get rid of them? And there are some starting on my chin too... help!


 


Hey girly! I'd try using an exfoliating face wash scrub. My favorite is the Willow Bark scrub by Burt's Bees! Smile

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
