HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | HAIR

What's with the stubble?

 

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.

I use an epilator. You still get some stubble but barely any. I think it's much better to use rather than a razor. It's also pretty painless after the first few times. I highly recommend you get one!

Waxing really hurts from what I've heard from my older cousin who tried it and I'm not a fan of pain so I'll stick with the stubble thank you very muchSmile

my legs and are really hairy, but i'm terrified of waxing. what else can i do? thanks!




Hey girl, honestly, shaving is the best/healthiest. There are lotions that pull out your hair but those are really unhealthy for your skin/hair follicles. Sorry girl!

when i shave under my arms it gets stubbly the next day and wont shave all the way. Also i get little red dots almost like pimples. How can i get this to stop?? I need to wear a strapless dress next weekend and i dont want my armpits to look gross!




Hey girl, your skin is just getting irritated by shaving. Make sure you use lots of shaving cream, and afterwards use women's aftershave, or moisturizing lotion. What also helps a lot believe it or not, is if you use hair conditioner, under the shaving cream while you shave. Helps a lot!
