How Hairy Are You?

had a conversation w/ a few friends this weekend and was surprised to learn how much we all differ in terms of body hair.

what do you shave or wax?

ME:
- eyebrows
- underarms
- biniki
- legs

i only have to shave every 3 days or so and the regrowth is very soft and fine, not porcupine like at all.

Re: How Hairy Are You?

I have Polycystic Ovarian Sundrone or PCOS. My hair tends to be very coarse and grows back fast... yes, I get porcupine like. I swear I'll pluck my eyebrows and I wake up the next morning and there are hairs that weren't there the day before I really can't go anymore than 2 days w/o shaving. I usually shave. I got my arms waxed and the hair was growing in 3 days later.

Another symptom is hair loss. Thankfully, I was born with a ton of hair but I "shed" more than average. DH said yesterday that I'd never be able to commit a crime, they'd have DNA evidence on me as I leave my hair everywhere

Re: How Hairy Are You?

I have an incredible amount of hair on my head. Every time I get my hair cut they mention it. I even get charged more when I get it dyed b/c they have to use more dye than usual. Hats never fit. Neither do headbands.

As for hair in other places, I wax my eyebrows and upper lip. It's getting to be that I have to do it less often than when I was younger - maybe once per month now.

Re: How Hairy Are You?

I don't think I'm overly hairy. I was very self conscious for the longest time about having hairy arms but then I started waxing them.

I wax on a very irregular basis:
arms
bikini

Shave underarms & legs.

Re: How Hairy Are You?

I consider myself to be a pretty hairy person. I shave my legs and underarms (obviously).

I wax my upper lip and eyebrows, but I am obsessed with plucking so I only have to do it every couple of months. I also shave everyday for the most part. I can't stand when my legs feel prickly even if you can't see any hair. Does anyone else's legs get prickly the very next day??

I also have to add that my Dad is almost completely bald... I shed more hairs on my head on a daily basis than he HAS ON his head. I could give him transplant hair

Re: How Hairy Are You?

I'm not hairy at all. I pluck my own eyebrows, shave my legs every other day and shave my underarms and the other area everyday. The hair on my arms is very light, almost blonde.

Re: How Hairy Are You?

I'm pretty furry...

I shave my

legs-whenever I remember to (ha!)
armpits-I'm currently getting lasered, so not as often as I used to
I wax my eyebrows about every six weeks...
I get my chin lasered, so it between to remove hair I have to shave they don't let you wax when you get lasered....

Re: How Hairy Are You?

1 of my friends said that in addition to the common (eyebrows, underarms, bikini and lower legs) shave/wax areas, she also waxes her upper lips, arms, lower back, thighs, inner thighs and feet.

i am so not hairy that in re: to my legs, i only have to shave below the knees. never the thighs.

Re: How Hairy Are You?

Not at all. Thank goodness my mom gave some SOME good genes.

Re: How Hairy Are You?

Since getting PG I don't need to shave as much for some reason. But usually I have to shave my legs and underarms every day. I usually have a 5 o'clock shadow by the end of the day
I do bikini waxes every month and pluck my eyebrows every few days.

Re: How Hairy Are You?

My hair doesn't grow very fast. I do shave my underarms every day; I can go several days without shaving my legs and you can't see anything on them. Eyebrows grow slowly, too. I'm pretty lucky.

Re: How Hairy Are You?

I'm pretty lucky, i'm not hairy.

excuse me if this was an offensive question. not meant to be at all. received a FM that the nameless author found it be rude and too personal. as i responded, it was meant as a curiousity question and if anyone is offended then they can just read, roll eyes, and move on to a less offensive thread.

Re: How Hairy Are You?

I am not that hairy - I do shave my legs a few times a week, my underarms almost everyday (the hair grows again by the time I am out of the shower!) and I pluck or wax my eyebrows.

I used to have a co-worker that never had to shave her underarms. She had very few blonde hairs growing if any. So not fair!!!!!!!!!

Re: How Hairy Are You?

I dont think I am more hairy then most I do however think my hair is more corse, I have very dark thick hair...

Re: How Hairy Are You?

Not at all. I've been having my legs and bikini waxed since my early 20's, so now I only need to get it done very irregularly. I shave my underarms and only need to do that 2x's a week at the very most. I even have to pencil in my eyebrows when I wear eye make-up!

Re: How Hairy Are You?

I am so hairy. Some people get scared when they see me. Click on below for a pic.
