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!

I have kinda thick wavy/curly hair. I wash it everyother day. Should I or shouldn't I condition my scalp too. Thanks so much!!!




Hey girlie,

If your hair gets dry easily, you can absolutely condition your scalp. If your scalp tends to get oily though, limit the conditioning to every other day. Or you could even just condition the ends of your hair, leaving the shorter scalp parts alone. Watch the signs your hair is giving you and you'll be able to tell what you need to do! Smile

This is off topic, but my BGF's birthday is coming up soon and people think i should get him a present. I kind of want too. The thing is I don't know what to get him? Do you have any ideas? Oh yeah I also really like him and he knows. Thanks!




Hey babe,

I loooove the ideas in this article - you definitely want something small, casual, and fun. Guys like things they can interact with, so make sure it's something he can use. Or you could get him a gift card to his favorite store...and then make a "date" with him to go shop for a gift he really wants.

Hey! So my arms are super hairy. Its really embarrassing, but I don't want to wax them, because I think it would look weird to not have any arm hair at all! Is it possible to just remove some of it so it looks normal? Thanks bunches!! (:

 

Hey girl,

Removing individual hairs to "thin out" your arm hair would take forever,so that's definitely not an option you should consider. Instead, you could think about lightening the hairs there, which is an option some girls choose over waxing. But other than dyeing and waxing, there really isn't another alternative - aside from learning to accept them and be confident, no matter what! Smile
