For many women, hair removal can be a painful subject. But that’s never stopped us from discussing it with any other female who happens to be within shouting distance. Oh how we love to talk about our body hair, especially the methods we use to get rid of it. It’s an endlessly fascinating topic because we’ve all got it, and none of us want it. A friend of mine (actually an ex-friend; she was completely psychotic but that’s another story) once passionately expressed to me her desire to be sleek like a baby seal - presumably one that was not about to get clubbed – and I knew just how she felt. If you’re a girl, smooth is sexy, and there really are no caveats, such as, “you know, in some cultures plumpness is considered a sign of health and great beauty.” Nobody wants to be the bearded lady, except maybe the bearded lady if she’s hooked up with a good circus. And yes, there are people who are turned on by excessively hairy women, but I’m guessing most of us wouldn’t want to get too intimate with them, hairy or not.
So now it’s “bikini season” and that of course requires a nice trim bikini line. After a mustache waxing debacle last month (it was my first time, and the fuzzy shadow above my lip was ripped out and replaced with a cold sore worthy of Katie Holmes), I decided to invest in some long term bikini bareness. I booked a laser appointment at $120 for 15 minutes, which is dirt cheap in the laser hair removal world. I shaved three days prior as they told me to, and showed up at 8:45am, which should also tell you how deep my commitment is. 8:45?! In Glendale?! When I entered the room they gave me protective goggles (!) to wear, and got right down to business.
I’ve never been hit with a nail gun but I imagine that it feels a bit like getting zapped with a laser. There is some cooling blast that follows the intense pinching sensation, but there’s no way you’re escaping without a lot of grimacing and a few involuntary moans and groans. Lying face down on my tummy while the lady attacked my inner thighs was quite the lesson in humility.
And now, five days later, the hair is still there! It looks kind of frazzled and burned but I am not in any way bikini friendly (we’re not talking sexy pubes like those on the cover of the Black Crowes album above, which was originally a Hustler magazine cover from 1976). Which is fine, as it turns out, because they told me after my appointment that I couldn’t go near the sun for two to three weeks! Even if I used spf 45! In other words I picked the absolute worst time of the year to embark on the laser journey. So now I’m consigned to a summer of shaving (you cannot wax if you are getting laser treatments) and will have to revisit the zapper in the fall. Yup, you heard right, I will be going back. Are you kidding? A permanently baby seal-esque bikini line? How can a girl resist? I know you know what I'm talkin' about.
What's up with that pic at the top? Yuk!

Early leg-hair removal manners were quite painful, however things have improved for ladies over time.

For me, It's okay for a young lady to eliminate.. That is the pattern now. Just decrease the locks and its okay, not too hairless just like alt country kid said. But it's not major, it's very awesome.

ive heard that mane-n-tail makes it grow fasterbut i heard thats just bsucaee it makes your hair strongerso i guess any good shampoo really to keep it healthy dont wash too oftenjust treat it good..dont rip through it dont brush it when its wet and if you do just use a wide toothed comb start from the bottomuh avoid heat like blowdryers and straightners.but if you just HAVE to use those you can get heat protecting spray or surem (sp?)OHand you DONT HAVE TO TRIM IT if you dont have split endsthe only reason to trim hair is to get split ends off so they dont break off .which makes you lose length..so if you dont have split ends..no need to cut ituh you can take hair, skin, and nail vitimansat cvs or walmart they give you vitimans your hair skin and nails need to be healthy.also deep condictioning treatments are good for itor a type of oil.like olive oil. wet your hair then put olive oil in it. leave it in over night. then in the morning wash it out. ^_^ it makes it softer. but uh sleep with a towel on your pellow cuz its kind of messy. or around your head. you really cant speed up hair growth. ive looked >.>so just keep it healthy.good luck xDtoodles noodles ^.^

Hair falls due to genetic roesans, stress, pollution, thyroid imbalance, chemicals in hair styling products and lack of proper nutrition. Home remedies are cheap , natural and without any side effects. Some of the home remedies for treating hair fall are: 1.Apply the white of a raw egg on the hair for 30 minutes, and then wash it off with a shampoo. A mixture of lemon juice and egg white could also be used to strengthen the roots of hair. 2. Massage the head with oil for 15-20 minutes and then rinse with a shampoo. A hot oil massage with olive oil will also help.3.Apply a mixture of lemon juice and juice of amla to the scalp. This also helps control dandruff in the hair 4. Boil neem leaves in water for an hour and let it cool. Wash the hair with this water. Alternately neem oil can be mixed with coconut oil and massaged where there is hair fall5. The juice of fresh coriander can be massaged onto the scalp will reduce hair loss. 6. Ensure that you eat nutritious food, with plenty of leafy vegetables. Have a soya milk drink and multivitamin tablets if you do not have time to have a healthy breakfast.7. Apply conditioner only to your hair not to the scalp or hair roots. The conditioner could damage your hair. Henna (mehandi) will help control hair loss. 8.Try to reduce the stress and tension in your life, learn to relax. Stress causes hair loss.

Pure coconut oil (preferabley home-made) is good for the hair and scalp but etniag it my not prevent hair loss.Virgin coconut oil is a healthy food but as always, everything should be done in moderation.There are mny Indian herbs that may help hair loss like neem oil, amla, shikakai.Try getting them from an Indian grocer or herbalist.

Its the pregnancy itslef. Due to my good diet and excercise I did not take viatmins My hair grew amazingly thick healthy hair whilst pregnant (twice). Also my skin has become much better, so I believe it's just being pregnant that does this.

I haven't tried it but I wouldn't use it even if it wrkoed unless it had little to no toxins. Toxins damage your hair in the long run that causes lots of fly-aways and split ends, which causes you hair to break off. I find that using using shampoo's and conditioner's that are paraben and sulfate free helps me grow my hair fast, `cause not only does it keep your hair healthy, but also helps coloured hair because it doesn't have the sulfate (which is the chemical that helps you lather) that strips your colour. Plus I suggest that you use shampoo's and conditioner's that are at least 98% natural. The more natural it is, the faster your hair can grow without problems. All in all, treat your hair the way you would treat a baby.
