Unwanted Hair - Facial and Body
Unwanted body hair among men and women is common. Since there is such a social stigma attached to excessive body hair on women most of them take great pains to cover it up or remove it. Men and women on television and in magazines scarcely have a single follicle anywhere but upon their heads. They also have access to the best hair removal techniques and professional retouching. In the real world most women fight a daily battle with unwanted hair growth on their legs, under their arms, feet, toes, intimate areas, and the face. It is now much more fashionable and socially acceptable for men to have smooth skins, role models such as David Beckham show only a smooth hair free body.
How Much Hair is too Much?
That is hard to say. Unlike in other cultures, in our society hair on women’s bodies was never considered a norm or attractive. Yet in recent years it seems that we here in the West have gone increasingly tricophobic (fear of body hair). Women are painstakingly trying to go totally hairless. Even pubic hair is now commonly shaved or waxed by the majority of women. And believe it not this obsession with body hair is not restricted to women. Men are routinely going for depilatory treatments to remove the hair on the chest and back.
Every woman has had to deal with the occasional plucking of the chin or eyebrows.
Shaving the legs and underarms is part of most women’s daily routine. So how much
is too much is really a very individual question. But if you find yourself spending
a lot of time dealing with unwanted body hair, or worrying about it -
Unwanted hair is a common enough problem and most women who are affected by it will say, like you, that they have had the condition since puberty.
In the vast majority of cases the cause is genetic in that some races have a tendency to have more body hair than others. There is also personal and individual variation with some people having very smooth skin, even men, and others having more hair.
Having explained all this, you are still faced with the problem.
There are numerous ways of removing unwanted hair such as depilatory creams for soft downy blonde hair on the upper lip, plucking for the eyebrows, waxing and shaving. But for widespread areas on the lower body none of these are practical or suitable.
