A Poll About Body Hair Removal

Does arms include armpits?

[shemarie82]

I hate hair, I would dip my body in wax/nair if it was possible!

[icaughtfire]

It wasn't until the past year or so that I noticed darker, thicker hair on the upper lip & chin area. I'd never had it before & I was super devastated. I think I was more upset by that than finding my first gray hair. What the fuck are you doing to me, body?!

Highlights do wonders to blend that in.  I no longer go super dark because of it. There's just this one (that I can tell) at the top of my head that will not go away...

When I first went on birth control pills when I was 18, I started growing 2 or 3 thick, coarse hairs on my chin, so I pluck those out every few days.

When I went off birth control pills when I was 30, I thought maybe those hairs would go away. But no, now I have more.

At least they are still blonde, so I don't think anybody has ever noticed them but me. But I can't stand them.

I have dark brown hair so my grays stand out. It's not enough yet though to start dyeing/dying (sp?, no coffee yet). And I'm not looking forward to that maintanance.

[mainewifey]

I have wicked grays behind my ears. Not so bad when my hair is down, but when I put it up they're really noticable. I went with highlights my last cut so to make them blend in.

I just finished up 2+ years of electrolysis on my chin and upper lip. The hair just kept getting worse and worse, and it was embarrassing, so I decided to spend the money to have it removed permenantly. I might go back sometime to get my brows done. I hate plucking them, so I don't. And I'm terrible about getting them waxed.

[rablissful]

I don't do my eyebrows (other than if I get any hair in between them). My mom never taught me how to do them, and whenever I tried it hurt so much plucking them I said fuck it. I'm in enough pain on a daily basis due to my fibromyalgia there is literally no reason for me to add to it. Luckily they aren't TOO bushy, could probably use a little cleaning, but honestly IDGAF. Nobody has ever mentioned it to me. My SO doesn't care either.

I MAY get them waxed if/when we ever get married for pictures. Other than that, I really don't care.

I first started noticing a couple greys in my late 20s - I named them after the law firm I was working for at the time and my various corporate clients because they were clearly the cause.

My eyebrows are really fair. I get them waxed every other month, sometimes barely at all in the winter. If I get them waxed you can see them better for some reason. I'm seriously considering dying them or I need to find a way to darken them up. I'm pretty sun burnt from the weekend and I have these bright blonde eye brows and dark red hair. So I look pretty goofy!

My odd?: I shave my arms/ from my shoulders down to and including at times my hands. I cannot stand my hair as it is dark and (to me) very unattractive. I do not mind other people having arm hair and actually quite like it on others (especially men dnw waxed man). I also on occasion get one random dark course hair on my belly that I pluck out.

I use tweezers for my face and razor elsewhere. It's cheap, quick and convenient.

I'm a natural blonde with natural brown eyebrows... so no hiding them for me. That being said, they really do not bother me un-plucked/waxed. I feel that if I started getting them waxed I would become obsessive about it, sooooo it's better I just don't start.

Eyebrow pencil?

[daisy818]

I have Brooke Shields in the 80s brows and waxing really hurts my skin, so I tweeze/trim myself and get them threaded sometimes. I basically just ride it out till "strong brows" come back into style every few years, then it's all, yay, I'm trendy!!

I had laser hair reduction done on my underarms and bikini line in 2009. Need to have the underarms touched up. I got Brazilian style removal for a few sessions, and let me tell you, laser hair removal around your asshole is no joke - ouch.

[summerdonna]

Armpits are the most important thing to keep shaved. My sister always says I need to pluck my eyebrows but I'm too lazy and just don't care. I tried to get them waxed before my wedding but my sensitive skin got very upset.

I've tried but it looks so obvious because my eyebrows are so light. I was going to check out Sephora tonight actually and see if they have some kind of a brush, powder set for eyebrows.

[becwheat]

What am I doing that week?

Most of the time I shave knee and below, bikini line, my armpits and keep my eyebrows on point.

When I go on my beach vacations I will wax rather than shave cause shaving before going in the ocean does not work for me!

[shemarie82]

When I had the gastric sleeve done, they shaved my belly, the hair is now noticeable to me so I pluck my belly hair with tweezers. Other than that, armpits to toes is a razor. I use the Dollar Shave Club, and it saves me SOOO much money on blades!

I have very fair eyebrows too and I tried to explain why I get them waxed to DH and my friend and they didn't get it! Seriously though it makes filling them in so much easier.

PS- I HIGHLY recommend an eyebrow tint. I get them done a couple times a year and it is magic! Considering I usually only wear mascara and eyebrow makeup it cut my prep time in half every morning and looked so much better.

My friend gets hers dyed every 6 weeks.. is this the same thing? If I can do something that lasts a few times a year I'm in!

[LadyNymeria]

I tweeze my brows and shave armpits, full legs, and go completely bare in the pubic area.

It only last about a month maybe longer if you are careful about how you wash your face. I love it though! It is about $20, I am just not great about getting to the salon.

FFWC? I don't grow armpit hair. Never have.

@erin2021, when you hit Sephora, look at the Anastasia brow products and talk to a consultant about them -- they are magic in my opinion!
