Major (body) hair problem!! need help fast?

ok, so people go around saying 'oh, asians have it so easy! they have no leg hair, or arm hair!'

unfortunately for me, i AM asian, and i have that hair! not necessarily from puberty, but i've had it ever since i could remmeber! i have it on my upper arms, lowever arms, calvesl thighs and lower back! it's not noticable in the camera... but since i have dark hair and pale skin, you can easily see all that gross hair. i've heard it could be a medical condition to have so much hair, or that i'm not eating enough, so the hair grew as an extra layer. either way, i need help to get rid of it! mostly in the areas where i'm not SUPPOSED to have hair... (upper thighs and upper arms) i've tried masking tape to rip it off - it worked, but it grew back, and i've tried tweezing, which took forever and is sort of painful. plus, my mom won't even let me SHAVE my legs because we assumes i have no hair, and that the more asians shaves, the larger and darker the pores and hair follicles get.HELP

omg i am just like you! well i'm allowed to shave my legs...

i've only shaved my arms two or three times in my life and quit because the problem just got worse. SO. GET A FULL BODY WAX (quite expensive but after a few treatments you can kiss your problem goodbye!)

If you seriously have a lot of hair, then I think you should go to the doctors. But if it's just more than most asians, then I would just suggest to use Nair. It's really easy to use, and it works really good. You can buy it at Walgreens,Target, WalMart, any of those types of stores.

It sounds to me that you might be either Japanese or Okinawan--hence the excess body hair.

It is not true that if you shave that the hair gets thicker. I have been shaving my body for over 10 years, and there is absolutely no difference with I grow my hairs for over a month as compared to when I started. I personally do not feel "clean" about body hair--on me and on women.

As for hair removal methods, I might suggest Nair. Just text it on a small area first, as in some people it causes irritation.

Hope this helps. Best of luck to you!!

u should wax it

When you wax your hair numerous times, the hair follicle gets damaged and sometimes the hair won't grow back, hence the problem some women get with their eyebrows looking too thin. Waxing will be the least expensive way to keep the hair off longer. And... eventually the hair may grow in a little bit thinner. Shaving causes the hair to have a blunt end that makes it look thicker when it grows out. It's not actually thicker, it's just blunt and not tapered the way natural hair is. I wouldn't shave because you'd have to shave every day or every other day. How tiring! Either wax it or go to a laser hair removal place. If your mom won't let you shave, I don't know how she'd feel about taking you to a laser hair removal technician though...
