Ok...I have alot of body hair. It is dark too and it drives me crazy. My face is ok, I'm pretty good at keeping my eyebrows under control and making sure that I don't have any above my lip. But my underarms, stomach, chest, legs, back, bikini area.... theres dark hair everywhere and I'm really self conscious. It really bothers me and I have to shave every day. And then I get razor rash everywhere. And I don't know what to do. I feel really gross and ugly. Am I overreacting?

If you start shaving at a young age, your going to produce more hair when your older. Try nair. To prevent razor rash, use lotion or baby oil. Baby Lotion does make the hair grow, but it gets rid of the bumps, baby oil is the best choice to go with! Your not overreacting. [ bAbYCHeeR792's advice column | Ask bAbYCHeeR792 A Question ]
OreoGirl answered Wednesday June 30 2004, 3:26 pm: ok for one thing, when u shave the hair DOES NOT grow back thicker. its just that the hair b4 u shave for like the first time ends at a point and when u shave it it gets cut at the base which makes it look like a tiny tree stump when it grows back. that makes it look darker and thicker but it really isnt. ur not supposed to shave ur chest and back and stomach. u can bleach it or get it waxed. u cant shave everyday, u do get razor burn cus it irritates the skin. when u shave ur legs shave like every 3 days. u mite have a little stubble but it's better then razor burn.

1.)Put 5 tablespoons of white vinegar into your body wash.
2.)dont rinse it off for 10 minutes.
then you should be done!
(this also works for highlights)

selectopaque answered Tuesday June 29 2004, 10:03 pm: You don't shave your stomach, chest and back do you? Shaving every day is only making your hair come in thicker and thicker.
Underarms, legs and bikini area are normal. I have black hair too, and it's really annoying, I know. I have to shave every day too.
Something to help with razor rash would be to put conditioner on your hair every day. Even when it's only stubble. It really softens the hairs and makes it so much easier to shave. [ selectopaque's advice column | Ask selectopaque A Question ]

AquamarineRose answered Tuesday June 29 2004, 9:28 pm: In my opinion you have 3 choices:
Choice A:Continue to shave......which you don't seem to like so nix that idea.
Choice B:Waxing.....Which is painful but will keep you hair free for a few weeks.In not THAT expensive....but all the places you want to get hair free all added up it might be a little costly.
Choice C:Laser treatment....which I think is pretty much out of the question and cost thoundsands. [ AquamarineRose's advice column | Ask AquamarineRose A Question ]
