What's with the stubble?

  • I have hair on my upper lip, like a mustache!
  • Just shaved my legs, but I'm still seeing roots!
How come when I shave the next day it comes back? It’s so irritating!

Girly, this one has been haunting women all over the world for ages. 

Unfortunately, shaving alone won't do the trick to banish those pesky hairs for very long.  Every single hair you have on your body is very much like the saying, "the tip of the iceberg." When you shave, you only whack off the top of the hair, what sits up and out of the skin.

In reality, like an iceberg, the hair doesn't end at what you can see, it actually extends much further into the hair follicle. So every time you shave, it's just waiting to poke back out a few hours later.  That's how you always end up with that pesky stubble not too long after shaving.

 

If what you have in mind is keeping your legs silky smooth for a few days at a time, you might want to switch over to waxing, which pulls out the entire hair, not just what's sitting up on top of the surface.

Waxing is actually not that bad. I mean.....it hurts but I think it is worth it. I work at a pool all year round with a lot of guys so my legs CANNOT be hairy. Waxing, for me, lasts like 4-6 weeks. But you can also try NAIR or something.

It is SUCH a huge pain in the rear... One thing I found that postpones re-growth is putting moisturizer on your legs RIGHT after you shave. I heard that it blocks the hair from emerging temporarily. I tried it and it works really well. 24 hours and my legs are still smooth!

i'm gunna comment on tis because its the first thing i clicked on... but anyways, regarding the poll to the right of your computer about what i'm going to do about the extra day in february why didn't you add in birthday celebrations?! I'm turning 4 this coming year (technically 16) and that's exactly what i'll be doing is celebrating my birthday. Just a suggestion but i think they need to think about these polls just a little bit more.

I have a problem with armpit hair, I either can;t get it off or it grows back so quickly. Should I wax it, and if so what brand should I use?




Hey girlie,

Personally, I just shave my underarms each time I take a shower. It takes 10 seconds! Not a problem at all Smile If you do wax it, I would probably go to a salon the first time. That way, you know it's done correctly so your skin doesn't get irritated/burnt! Ask them if they recommend an at-home waxing product, then try following their professional advice.

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.
