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.

Dear cmn5297, I hate when this happens too so i tried nair hair removing lotion and it doesn't work welll for me. Your suppose to slather it on at wait then rinse it off with a sponge. It burned when i was waiting and it wasn't long lasting. It grew back in like a day or 2. Sorry

MOD!
Ok, so last summer I asked my mom if I could start shaving my legs and she said to wait because once you start you can't stop. She also said I can start shaving my legs once my brother starts shaving his face.It was near the end of summmer so I was fine with it but now it's summer again and my legs are SO much hairier! It's really embarassing and so far, I've only worn maxi dresses. I want to ask again but my brother hasn't started shaving his face yet. We also have a beach vacation coming up! Please help!




Hey girl! 

It's not really fair for your mom to keep you and brother on the same shaving schedule--you two are completely different! I would sit her down and explain all the reasons you'd like to start shaving. Show her your legs, and tell her you're uncomfortable with all the hair--especially for the beach! Good luck!

I have a cold sore I found yesterday and it doubled in size overnight! I'm going swimming with some friends tomorrow that I met last week and I don't wanna look bad. Any quick homemade ways to get rid of them?




Hey girl!

I'm not sure about homemade ways you can get rid of it, but you can definitely put some water proof concealer on it so it's less visible.

Hey Hockeygal5, waxing can be a little painful especially if you have never done it. I would get a waxing kit and try it out. Different things work for different people, so waxing might work for you. Xoxo

Hello

Liposuction is a plastic surgery used to reduce unwanted fats from our body. Liposuction is now combine with body contour and fat removal which is very useful.

Thank you
